On the physical plane, human beings are individual and separate, and each person’s experiences do not directly affect others. Your suffering or your joy does not appear to be their suffering or their joy. If you persist in eating indigestible food, you will damage your own stomach, not theirs. But on high, in the subtle planes, there are no barriers, and all your inner states produce effects on some creature or another. Yes, because on high only one creature exists: Cosmic Man, who is the synthesis of all creatures. We live in this Cosmic Man, in fact we are this Cosmic Man, and no creature exists in him as a separate entity. There is a moral law, therefore, that follows from this: you can do neither good nor evil to others without doing the same good or evil to yourself. On the face of it, this doesn’t make much sense: if you kick someone who is annoying you, it is he or she who feels the pain, whereas you are relieved, or at least you think you are. But in actual fact, this law makes a great deal of sense, for within the Cosmic Man, we are all one.

One of the most significant symbols of this Cosmic Man is the tree. A tree sinks it roots deep into the earth while it sends its branches out in all directions in space. Suppose each root considered itself an individual, isolated from the others: it wouldn’t notice that higher up it is linked to a trunk which divides into branches, and that on these branches there are flowers and fruits.

So it could be said that we humans represent the roots, buried in the earth, of one tree. Every day we absorb elements from the earth with which to nourish the trunk and branches of this tree that is humanity. And humanity in turn represents a root of the Cosmic Tree, on which each human being is like a rootlet. Yes, the whole of humanity is comparable to a root, and each rootlet feeds on, breathes in and draws from the earth forces, which then rise all the way up the trunk.

In this reservoir that is matter, every human being draws in raw elements, which he or she transforms and sends into the great root that is humanity. But before reaching the great root, there are several stages these elements must pass through: the sap collected by the rootlets nourishes a small root, the family, which nourishes a bigger root, the country; the country nourishes the continent, and finally the sap reaches the great root, which is humanity. This passage from individual to humanity takes place via roots that are progressively larger and linked to each other. As for the tree, it soars upward from the ground, rising ever higher into the air and light.

But is this earth, with the life it sustains, the only one in the cosmos? No, on the moon, on Mercury, on Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and others there
