Modern science and the absolute "fixed point". An area in which the terrestrial human being already "sees cosmically"
814. As long as modern science has not discovered the absolute "fixed point" behind all the movements, materials or substances that they are establishing, weighing and measuring or juggling with and basing their hypotheses and ideas about life on, they will never ever be able to acquire any "cosmic acknowledgment", that is to say, any absolute knowledge about themselves. In all cases without exception, their acknowledgment of something and someone can exist only as a knowledge of substances and matter, a knowledge of the reactions of the contact of movements with other movements. They are juggling in an ocean of products and creations without being able to find, and thereby without being able to acknowledge, a creator, even to a large extent denying its existence. Just imagine if birds in the air and fish in the sea also believed that they were respectively one with the air and with the sea. Imagine if the builder were unable to see any difference between himself and the house he had built, or the tailor could think of himself only as a mere suit of clothes. This certainly sounds strange, but it is nothing other than a true knowledge of relativity compared to the knowledge that human beings normally have in those fields where their own ability to sense sees most clearly or sharply, namely, in the areas of their own creation and production. Here they will not fall for the illusion that the house and the builder or the tailor and the suit of clothes are identical. In this area they have been able to see for a long time that these two phenomena could have come about only on the strength of a "will-directing originator". And this acknowledgment is by nature in essence purely "cosmic" and in no way whatsoever constitutes a form of relativity. It is not dependent on "the eye that sees". It constitutes an eternally "cosmic answer". It is the full acknowledgment of the principle of life: "I" and "it".
