Life manifests itself in enormous varieties. What I would like you to learn is types of beings living in Life – I call them ‘spheres of Life’.
To learn about the spheres of Life, consider all the beings living on Earth. You can notice that there are minerals, plants, animals, people and invisible beings. The invisible beings, whatever we call them, normally cannot be perceived, so people need to exercise their senses to be able to perceive spirits. Let me sometimes write ‘spirits’ for ‘invisible beings’.
To understand more about the beings living on Earth, look at the next picture. In the center, you see a point representing The Consciousness. As you remember, Life expands from The Consciousness to infinity.
The world of minerals represents the sphere of Life closest to The Consciousness. The world of minerals includes atoms and molecules; on Earth, mostly it would be air, water and rock, sand. The characteristic feature of the world of minerals is called ‘existence’. Minerals exist.
The second sphere of Life is represented by the world of plants. The characteristic feature of plants is called ‘growth’. Plants grow; of course, they also exist.
Animals represent the third sphere of Life. The characteristic future of animals is called ‘emotion’. Emotions make animals move; of course, animals also exist and grow.
The next sphere of Life is occupied by man. ‘Thought’ is the characteristic feature of man. Indeed, man is focused mainly on thinking. Man exists, grows, experiences emotions and thinks.
