Chart 4
BIRTH AND DEATH OF UNIVERSES
1 Control force of units of mind decreases
   
2 Quantity of units of abstract matters held in control decreases
   
3 The planets and stars lose their strength to keep together various substances
   
4 More substances radiate into space
   
5 The conditions on the planets will become increasingly difficult
   
6 Harsh climates followed by scarcity of food makes the beings in the universe violent and cruel
   
7 Increase in cruelty among the beings reduces their strength of evolution of mind
   
8 Continue to deteriorate. Many beings die and disappear.
Less beings arrive to settle
   
9 Lapse of time.
Beings on this earth reduced to a small number
   
10 A period of drought with intense heat.
Rivers dry up and crops fail.
Most remaining beings die and disappear.
   
11

Inter-stellar cloud of water vapor.
A spell of rain continues for 7 days from drizzling to several feet diameter.
Floods all over except mountain tops.
Further remaining beings are killed.

   
12

A second drought and all flood water evaporated.

   
13

Oceans dry up.
Universe in chaos and stars crumbling.
Solar systems in a mad dash.

   
14

Earth comes within orbit of 7 suns. No water. Earth burns up.

   
15

All the stars and planets burn up
The universe in a confused state of darkness and void for a long time.
Except those escape into non-birth.
This is hell liquidating suffering.

   
16

Remaining units of abstract matter
In the basic form of energies begin conception again
with abstract heat and continue.

   
17

After long lapse. Units of mind with defilement burned up,
gather strength from purity, build up in physic
and so the birth of a new universe begin.

   
18

Universes grow, matters decay and die and so on.

THE REFLECTIVE ELEMENTS

{short description of image}

     Notes (1) The brain has a very definite physical function in monitoring the environment sense organs and controlling our movement but, so far as its attachments to the mind is concerned, it has no particular significance.

     (2) The Mind's travel, being silmutaneous, is beyond speed. Mind also penetrates through all forms of matters, be it substance or space.

     (3) Flashes of thought penetrate intermittently into the different organs and travel towards the inner region of the mind. They give the feeling that the entire process of thinking is fixed at the region in the center of the mind. This is a deception.
