Truth of Science Life Is Universal Throughout All Creation The universe is filled with evolving, unfolding, progressing life. Creation begins with the formation of a planet by condensation. con-densation. After a planet has solidified and cooled, vegetable life emerges, feeds on the mineral, transmutes mineral molecules mole-cules into vegetable cells and raises the mineral to a higher order of life and consciousness. Animals, in turn, fped on members of vegetable kingdom, change vegetable cells into animal cells, and raise them a step further in progression. Science has discovere'd that there is no definite line of de-. de-. markation between mineral, vegetable and animal but a gradual grad-ual binding of one into the other. Man is essentially an animal in his physical makeup. He has been raised a step higher than the animal through the cooperation of unseen higher orders of life. As mankind matures ma-tures his intellect develops and with it his spirituality. With maturity consciousness develops through the stages of self, family, tribal, national and world consciousness. We are now coming into the consciousness that all men are brothers and all nations members of one great family. With the unfoldment of world consciousness cooperation amongst men and nations will increase and competition w;ll ba discarded. Then will the folly cf war be reahzed and psace cn earth, good will to all men be the order of the day. |
