Symbol 51
A summary explanation of symbol no. 51 – The Universe of Gravity. The Atom of Gravity or the Solar System of Gravity
The symbol shows an atom for the energy of gravity (orange). Through this atom passes the energy that has to do with anger, bitterness and hatred; but it also has to do with power. It is atoms from this world that build up the stomach system and the digestive area, that is, everything that belongs to the killing principle. To digest is, after all, to kill. The food we consume consists of life that is incarnate in bodies. The task of digestion is to kill these bodies because the spiritual life present in the bodies has to be able to transfer to the new organism as nutrition. The stomach system is built up of atoms of gravity. The function that occurs in the form of digestion is thus promoted by the power that comes from our own consciousness and world of thoughts, from the thoughts we send out towards others.
Martinus' own explanation of the symbol can be found in The Eternal World Picture, vol. 5, which is not yet available in English.
