Some people insist that life on Earth should be, quite simply, earthly.
What, precisely, do they suppose earthly existence to be?
Such people have no interest in Supermundane concepts,
and care only for the mean and paltry life that they have established
by constantly demeaning all higher concepts.
They do not realize that there is no such thing as "earthly."
Everything belongs to the Cosmos, every stone is part of the Universe.
People are not pigs, deprived of the ability to raise their heads toward Heaven.
One does not survive by earthly rubbish, but by the higher emanations.
And yet for thousands of years there have been many who have stubbornly promoted the importance
of a purely earthly existence.
Not only the atheists, but also the theists have denied the Subtle and Higher Realms.
It is hard to understand how such opposing mentalities could agree on the denial of the fundamentals of life.
Prompted by fear and ignorance, they do not dare face the most beautiful.
Even the gaining of knowledge does not help them to approach the psycho-physical realm,
and the theists do not allow their deities to lead them to approach the higher realms.
"We should not belittle life by limiting ourselves to Earth alone.
Three worlds are given to us, but we must earn our right to each one.
We become attached to the perishable Earth and forget that we can partake of life everlasting!
"Let us not be deluded into limiting ourselves to the sense of touch.
We are given other senses that we should utilize for total perception.
But do we know these senses?
The Supermundane has its own expressions.
Indeed, we are rich in the treasures bestowed upon us."
