The Universal Creation
After having gone back – human limitations
notwithstanding– to the hidden fount from which worlds derive like
drops of water flowing from a river, let us consider the progression
of the successive creations and their serial developments.
The primitive cosmic matter contained the material,
fluidic and vital elements for all the universes that unroll their magnificence before eternity. It is the fertile mother of all things,
the first grandmother, and what is more, the eternal generatrix.
This substance from which all the sidereal globes have come
has not disappeared; this power is not dead, for it still gives
birth incessantly to new creations, and receives incessantly the
reconstituted elements of the worlds that have been effaced from
the book of eternity.
The ethereal matter, rarified to various degrees, and which
is diffused throughout interplanetary space; that cosmic fluid
that fills the universe, rarified to various degrees in the immense
regions rich in clusters of stars; condensed to various degrees
where the stellar sky does not yet shine; modified to various
degrees by different combinations according to their locations
in the expanse, is nothing more than the primitive substance in
which reside the universal forces, from which nature has taken
all things. This fluid penetrates bodies like an immense ocean.
In it resides the vital principle that gives rise to the life of beings
and perpetuates it on each globe according to its condition, a
principle which in its latent state lies dormant as long as no
voice calls upon it. By virtue of this universal vital principle,
every creature, mineral, plant, animal or other – because there
are many other kingdoms of nature whose existence you do not
even suspect – knows how to appropriate the conditions for its
existence and lifespan.
Mineral molecules have their portion of this life too, just
like the seed and the embryo, and, like in the organism, they group
together in symmetrical figures that constitute individualities.It is very important to be aware of the idea that the primitive
cosmic matter is endowed not only with the laws that ensure the
stability of the worlds, but also with the universal vital principle
that forms the spontaneous generations on each world to the extent
that conditions manifest for the successive existence of beings, and
when the hour sounds for the appearing of the children of life
during the creation period.
This is how the universal creation has been accomplished.
Hence, it is correct to say that, since the workings of nature are the
expression of the divine will, God has always created, continues to
create, and will create forever.
