<p class="para">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.</p>
<br>
<p class="para"> 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.
