We live in a universe governed by a divine power,

a power so powerful that it is not capricious,

but one who is loving and just.

Our personal experience in the physical realm is

of no more than a shadow that points to the unseen realm

of light and love in which we exist.

In this realm, there is only love and only God.

This universe does not exist in isolation.

It is part of an interconnected system of infinite systems,

each one of which depends on the functioning of the others,

for their development and existence.

And so it is with us: if we do not fulfill our divine purpose,

we will, without a doubt, be of no more benefit to the world than an amputee.

The universe is not like a machine.

The universe is a living organism.

The universe consists of a system of living systems.

It is like a complex organism, one whose parts

communicate with each other,

and the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
