On the threshold of a new world religion

9. The truth of the Universe as a living organism

The New World Religion is also about the truth that the Universe is a living organism within which we live and move. The great cosmos is a living manifestation of the Nature of God. There is one Great Life that manifests itself in innumerable forms, from the gigantic galaxies, sun systems and planets to humans, animals, plants and the smallest atom .

The investigation of the space around us has also led to new ideas about the emergence and nature of the universe. The astronomer James Jeans once said that the universe resembles more a great thought than a great machine. Another astronomer, Arthur Eddington stated, "The stuff of the universe is mind-stuff". These ideas correspond well with what is written in the ancient Vedic scripture of India.

In this context, the increasing interest in esoteric astrology may be mentioned. It expresses the experience of the living relations between the heavenly globes - planets and stars - which has its correspondence in the relations between humans. Esoteric astrology gives us important clues as to the energies and qualities that influence us in the course of the sun's passage through the 12 signs of the zodiac.
