CHAPTER XV.

LIFE AN ATTRIBUTE OF THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE.

THE PLANET JUPITER

LIFE IS AN ATTRIBUTE OF THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE. Go forth on a moonless
night and behold the firmament emblazoned with its myriad of
scintillating stars, solar orbs, nebulae, world-systems in the making:
the galactic circle, a jeweled band athwart the canopy of Heaven; a
seething maelstrom of Light: countless suns in space all expressing the
one reality, OMNISCIENCE.

Only presumptuous man can question the Divine Intent in the creation of
the Infinite number of giant suns, stupendous worldwide systems, and
place his particular world-unit at the center of the Cosmos.

Man contemplates this handiwork of God as a mere adjunct (more
ornamental than useful) to his terrestrial environment, conceitedly
thinking that the Father's only consideration is centered about himself.

As these life-giving orbs are countless in number, their orbits
extending as they do to Infinity in all directions, so is it with the
habitable worlds in space. Some there are where life is not yet
possible: worlds not yet far removed from their primitive state: not
long since condensed from fire mist: others where life has just begun:
others on whose surfaces live teeming millions of God's creatures, just
as you live and others have lived before you. And there are other
worlds whose life-cycle has been run; where intelligent life has
ceased: where world-disintegration has set in. For this is in
accordance with the universal law of Growth and Decay--a law that
exempts neither the one-celled amoeba, nor the complex Solar system
whirling yonder in Infinite space.

For all that comes from the Father into material expression must some
day revert to its primordial state.

You have thus far received much concerning the idealistic conditions on
Mars, whose planetary career is now reaching the zenith of its Cosmic
cycle, and whose denizens have progressed to a degree of Divine
unfoldment not yet attained by many worlds.

It is necessary that you now receive some information relating to one
of the less-advanced planets belonging to the family of our sun, in
order you may be able to learn by contrast something of the wonders of
God's work.

JUPITER, owing to its prodigious size, being nearly eleven times larger
than your Earth, but whose density is proportionately less, might well
be styled the Master Planet of our system.
