Axiom # 4 – Humankind exists everywhere throughout the universe.

Humankind exists everywhere throughout the universe, that is to say, wherever the capacity to reflect all of God’s attributes makes its appearance, regardless of the outer form in which it is garbed or the name by which it is identified, and irrespective of the solar system in which it evolves, there too is man. However, in order for man to appear in a contingent world he must have a physical vessel through which to manifest these attributes and, in the same way that thought gives rise to action, so too do these attributes and qualities precede and give rise to the vessel through which they are enabled to express themselves which, in this case, is the noble human temple. Nobility, however, is an attribute of the soul and not a characteristic of the human body. Whatever transient nobility is outwardly expressed by the body is merely the outer expression of an inner, imperishable reality, such impermanent nobility being forever lost upon the dissolution of the body into its component elements.

In the Sacred Scriptures of all the Great Religions it is advanced that it is God, not humankind, that created the entire universe and all it contains. It is further advanced that it is God, not humankind, that created all matter whether living or inanimate or whether visible or invisible. It is also advanced that it is God, not humankind, that is the Primal Source and Primal Cause that pre-exists the evolution of every being and organism the sum total of which also includes humankind.

In the Sacred Scriptures of all the Great Religions it is advanced that God created humankind in His own ‘image and likeness’ the implications of which are the most irrefutable proof that humankind exists everywhere throughout the universe. An analogy that readily expresses this concept depicts God as the sun, the Holy Spirit as the life-giving rays that emanate from Him, and humankind as the recipient and mirror in which His Image may be seen. God possesses all attributes to an absolute degree which is what makes Him God and humankind possesses each and every one of these attributes but each to a limited degree which is what makes him human.

It is evident, therefore, and not unreasonable to postulate that God is neither physical nor terrestrial, is beyond space, time, and mass, and is outside and not subject to the laws and forces that govern the behaviour of all matter, the sum total of which represents the boundless and immeasurable expanse of the universe. It follows as an irresistible corollary that, whenever and wherever all the attributes of God are mirrored forth in an organism, regardless of the form it assumes, the name by which we identify it, or the celestial system in which it evolved, there too is humankind in all its reflecting glory.

If then, God is not physical, is outside of and enfolds rather than being contained by the physical universe, then He must be a spiritual being and if we are in His ‘image and likeness’ then it surely follows that it must be a spiritual image and likeness. It also follows that since the body must, of necessity, eventually decompose and dissolve into its constituent parts then it must be the spiritual part or soul that survives to journey through the infinite worlds of God. It further follows then, that if the soul of man is spiritual not physical then it is capable of accommodating itself to any physical form, regardless of the celestial sphere whereon that form evolves, the solar system in which it revolves, and the universe in which its galaxy is located. God is everywhere and humankind being in His ‘image and likeness’ is everywhere as well.
