Earth a Symbol THE earth
is the centre of the material universe. It has been created for concentrating
the force that is to transform Matter. It is the symbol of the divine
potentiality in Matter. As we have said, the earth was created through a direct
intervention of the Divine Consciousness: it is on the earth alone that there
is and can be the direct contact with the Divine. The earth absorbs and
develops and radiates the divine light; its radiation spreads through space and
extends wherever there is Matter. The material universe shares, to some extent,
the gift that the earth brings – the light and harmony of the Divine
Consciousness. But it is upon the Earth alone that there is the full and final
flowering of that consciousness. The
psychic being is found on the earth alone, for it is a product of the earth: it
is the touch of the Divine upon Matter. The psychic being is a child of the
Earth: it is born and grows upon Earth, it is native
to nowhere else. Still when it develops sufficiently and becomes an adult
individuality, it can go to other physical domains, visit other planets, for
example.
