Trying to
learn where life itself came from is not so
easy here in
the physical universe. It is very ancient history. Before Earth was colonized
there were advanced well-established civilizations on other planets in our own
solar system. And before this solar system came into being, there were other
solar systems in this Galaxy having planets supporting ancient civilizations.
Earth is like a baby, just beginning to become aware of the vast world in which
it lives.
Earth
scientists today work devotedly trying to find out where life itself comes
from. For thousands and millions of years, scientists on planets much older
than Earth have done the same thing, but they learned that their efforts were
in vain.
Life cannot
be created here in the physical universe. However, when conditions are right,
it can enter this world from the worlds beyond. Only when a person has the
God-consciousness can he know the where and why of life itself.
As the people
of Tythania studied and analyzed their own past, as well as the history of
other planets, they found that all is not as chaotic as it seems. Life on the
planets follows natural law just as surely as anything else in nature. Growth
of a planet and its people goes through natural cycles and ages just as the
growth of an individual passes through stages. The order of the ages gives an
idea of the kind of life a planet goes through. First is the Golden Age....
