"
For the term "sons of God" interpret "those who have attained cosmic
consciousness," and we may readily parallel this with the many allusions to
the earth's redemption, with which history is strewn.
To "redeem" the earth is quite comparable with the idea of redeeming any
part of the earth's surface--either as a nation, or as a tract of
land--which is not yielding the best that it is capable of.
In the cosmogony of the heavens, the planet earth may well be likened to a
territory that has possibilities, but which needs cultivation;
encouragement; work; to bring out its possibilities and make it a place of
comfort and enlightenment.
So we have been informed--and an understanding of deeper occultism will
bear out the information--that this earth is being made a "fit habitation
for the gods" (i.e., cosmically conscious beings, to whom love is the only
authority necessary).
Paul clearly alludes to the redemption of the body, as well as the
continuance of the life of the soul, when he says:
"For the creation was subject to vanity, not of its own will, but by reason
of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also shall be
delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of
the children of God.
