If we are to talk of scales, let us see what is
happening at the atomic level, where we are dealing
with infinitesimally small distances. According to
the Bohr theory, an invisible atom possesses an
internal structure similar to our solar system, with
electrons revolving around a nucleus in the same
way that planets revolve around the sun. How
vastly different the scales, for in the solar system,
distances are measured in millions of miles. Yet, in
spite of the scales being so different as to boggle the
imagination, the systems are exactly the same.
Would it be any wonder then if the consciousness,
which we as human beings experience existed on a
cosmic scale but in a totally perfect form? As an
intellectual exercise, it is no more difficult to accept
this, than to accept the notion that genes, although
only microscopic elements in the human embryo,
control the growth and development of a six-foot-
tall man. Might not the human and natural desire
for a world immeasurably vaster than our own be
an echo—spiritual and otherworldly—of a world
already existing in this universe in a form invisible
to human eyes?
