The _invisible_ life on this planet is unquestionably far greater
than the _visible_ but both visible and invisible doubtless belong to the
planet earth.
The Absolute, presumably occupies all space, and therefore it may as
reasonably be postulated that this state of Nirvana or Samadhi, may be
entered within the area of this planet's vibrations, as in that of the
other planets. The finite mind cannot conceive of a state of being apart
from motion, space or time, even though these concepts are crude in their
relation to the state of consciousness to which the sum of all
consciousness is tending, whether the individual would, or not.
We speak of "the heavens" when we refer to the immeasurable, and little
known region of the solar system, and we use the same term when we refer to
a state of being in which the perfected soul of man will finally enter. And
this term implies that when we are thus in heaven, we are _with_ God, if
not _absorbed into_ God.
Jesus, the master, taught the coming of the kingdom of God _on earth_ and
urged mankind to _pray_ for its coming, asking that the will of God
(or gods) be done on earth as it is in the heavens, from which it is not
illogical to infer that the earth itself, as a planet, is not outside the
pale of that blissful state which we ascribe to God, and which, at the same
time, we expect to enter without being swallowed up in the sense that we
lose that consciousness which cognizes itself as an eternal verity.
