along specially modified lines, in
order that they may encompass the least possible volume, just as the
denizens of the extreme depths of your oceans have evolved. The
modification is necessary that organisms mat be able to function on a
planet where the difference in gravity is as one to three compared with
your Earth. In other words a minimum density is necessary to produce
maximum lightness.

As there is no lesser or greater in the economy of Nature (Nature is
God Manifest), the most infinitesimal mote in the universe is as
perfect within itself as is the most gigantic sun. Size is but
relative. The anatomy of the midget is as perfect and complex as is
that of the mammoth, and so there exist in the universe inhabited
worlds that are relatively very small.

Circulating around the sun in orbits between Mars and Jupiter are
numerous small planets or asteroids. One in particular, which is known
to your astronomers as Vesta, is encompassed by an atmosphere and is
inhabited by diminutive people and a correspondingly diminutive fauna
and flora. The diameter of Vesta is about 500 miles, although your
astronomers give its size, erroneously, as much smaller.

While the subject of these discourses is mainly Spiritual you are
getting many scientific facts, and although not a volume of them you
are getting a proper understanding of the Cosmos.

The universe with all its suns and planets is analogous to a perfect
watch. Each sun and planet moves over a prescribed orbit in a given
time mathematically proportional to the movements of all the other
celestial bodies, just as the geared wheels of the watch conform to
their prescribed movements. The celestial bodies are seemingly
actuated by invisible gears and are held rigidly in their proper places
by a mighty force whose power is incalculable. This is evidenced by
the fact that all celestial bodies conform to that inexorable law,
Divine Harmony.

That all planets describe equal areas in the same time in their
ceaseless journeyings, and that the square of the time of their periods
is as the cube of their distance from their common centers, is an
exemplification of the reign of God's harmonious laws.

You must remember that Empirical knowledge is but a perverted view of
Truth. All the fleeting things of life are but dross: their apparent
reality an illusion. Material life is but a projection from the Cause
world into the Effect world. Man is but a reflection of a r
