Thus the Earth floats like a little star through time and space. Its course in eternity is, as previously mentioned, set on the eternal Father, the centre of the world, the "fixed point" of all things. Its goal is harmony and love. It draws closer and closer to the land of true happiness. This must of course influence its spiritual atmosphere. This influence manifests itself as the "light radiation from this divine principle of creation" mentioned in Livets Bog. And about two thousand units of measure or "New Years" ago, the Earth, on its cosmic journey, sighted the first faint gleams of light from a glorified land. These gleams of light, which from afar lent lustre to the terrestrial "heavenly ship" in the form of three great world religions – "Buddhism", "Christianity" and "Islam" – were this craft's greatest enlightening factors and fundamental signs of a "promised land" ahead. They became visible proofs of the Earth's journey towards the centre of the world, towards the source of culture and civilisation, towards the source of all harmony, happiness and love. These religions were thus the outermost outposts of a glorified zone, the visible signs of the Earth's accelerating course towards the kingdom of light, towards the sun of suns.
