Symbol 82
A summary explanation of symbol no. 82 – The State of the Earth as a Perfect Human Kingdom
General notes on symbols nos. 78-85
Symbols nos. 78-85 show the Earth’s various epochs of evolution. The Earth is a living being and, like all other living beings, goes through the spiral cycle. In the middle of the symbols we see the Earth’s physical body. The surrounding coloured rings of rays symbolise the Earth’s spiritual world or spheres of consciousness. The large ring of rays shows the Earth’s day-consciousness in the particular epoch of evolution. The circle of jagged figures in the middle of the large ring of rays symbolises the pole structure. During evolution the energies in the other areas grow and occupy the day-consciousness; they then degenerate and fade away into the inner rings.
The Earth’s spiritual world is populated partly by beings that are passing through because of reincarnation and partly by beings that are resident in this area.
Explanation of symbol no. 82
The symbol shows the Earth's state as a perfect human kingdom, the state that the planet will be in when it has outlived its animal mentality. There are still animals on the Earth, but the dangerous, fatal and poisonous animals have died out. There is harmony because there is quite another state with quite other laws for connections between people. It will be absolutely glorious and perfect. In the future world state, people will develop within themselves higher spiritual attributes, art music and science.
Martinus' own explanation of the symbol can be found in The Eternal World Picture, vol. 6, which is not yet available in English.
