A galaxy is an extensive family of
solar systems which number in the millions. The galaxy to which our planet
belongs has the approximate shape of a bi-convex lens or fried egg and is
located at about one third the radial distance from its axis to its extreme
periphery.
Everything man can see with a naked eye
in the sky is an integral part of our galaxy of which the Milky Way represents
the outside rim.
The distance from one galaxy to the
next is of such magnitude that it surpasses the understanding of the incarnate
spirit of average perception.
Nevertheless one galaxy, with its
thousands or millions of solar systems, represents no more - in comparison with
the infinite extension of space - than a meaningless isle in the ocean or, even
less, a tiny speck in the Universe.
This relativity of magnitudes invites
meditation on the grandeur of the Universe and the very humble role of our
planet in the composition of the whole.
And if the composition of our planet is
humble, so are its inhabitants; humble in intelligence, in spirituality, in
evolution.
If everybody were inwardly aware of
this reality, there would be no place for self-conceit and foolish pride which
reflect merely a state pertaining to Earth, and demonstrate the ignorance and
spiritual inferiority of its inhabitants.
To give an idea, although imprecise, of
how many billions times billions of spirits in evolution there are in each
galaxy, it is enough to take into account the millions of solar systems
contained in each galaxy and to consider that a countless number of planets
revolves around each solar system.
If in this planet, which is one of the
smallest, about 5 billion spirits are undergoing the process of evolution,
consequently in proportion this number cannot be smaller in other planets.
Universal Intelligence, from which
thought comes forth - in its utmost expression - has unlimited power. Nothing exists in the Universe without a
cause. Nothing was created by chance because everything followed a
pre-established determination, even in the smallest details.
The meaning of 'creation' as used in
this book indicates transformation of matter through the action of Intelligent
Force. The idealisation of the planets conforms to the requirements of
evolution.
Thus, from incarnation to incarnation,
the spirit promotes its evolution on this planet up to a certain limit.
Afterwards evolution proceeds in another environment where psychic and physical
conditions follow a different pattern.
At a speed of about 30 kilometres per
second, Earth follows its path around the sun with mathematical precision in an
absolutely exact length of time.
Similarly, the sun completes its trajectory
in a precisely accurate length of time. In turn, it drags along the components
of its own system, in an orbit having its focus at a point in the axis of the
galaxy, at a similarly high speed.
By the same token, the galaxy carries,
in perfect uniformity, all the solar systems of which it is composed at a
similarly high speed, and closes its orbit in a no less regular length of time.
All this revolving disposition of
precise, unchangeable movements is the work of Universal Intelligence, for a
single purpose: to provide the particles of the Whole with means to evolve and
climb, one by one, the lengthy steps of evolution.
It is no overstatement to assert that a
single one of those particles is just as important as the Whole itself because
one could not exist without the other.
The work of nature contains neither
errors nor flaws. Its laws are unchangeable, its movements mathematically
precise. Even the least common events which may occur at variable times are no
more than logical consequences of the unfolding of life itself, which is full
of actions and reactions, causes and effects, but always on the way to final
balance.
The spirits act and progress in
co-ordination with each other, fully in accordance with a guiding rule of all
functions. By the same token, the satellites' movements are co-ordinated with
those of the planets. In turn the movements of the planets are combined with
those of the suns of each system, and the movements of the solar systems with
all those of the other systems of each galaxy.
Space is filled with Force and Matter.
Nothing is lost or gained. There are no surpluses or losses. The equilibrium of
laws can be seen in both the macrocosm and the microcosm, in both the
immeasurably large and the immeasurably small.
Beyond the visual reach of man, in the infinite as well as the infinitesimal, Life goes on continuously, integrally, harmonically, manifesting the most varied vibration.
