WE ARE COSMIC BEINGS

 

The succession of the kingdoms; mineral, vegetable and animal in the

physical world becomes a symbol of the constant movement of

involution and evolution of a being who has been divided in the

complementary qualities of the spirit and the matter

 

VICTOR MANUEL GUZMAN VILLENA

 

The idea of the cosmic man is picked up by contemporary science in

the concept of hologram that demonstrates that each fragment of a

whole contains the components of the absolutely global structure. In

old science, the metaphorical application of the notion of cosmos was

the base of the astrological philosophy and that can also be found in

the alchemy like search of the philosopher stone: that part that can

be found the " whole " .

 

The first principle of this theory is that the mankind is not a

simple component of the universe, but is rather simultaneously the

end item summarized of the evolution and the potential original seed

from which the universe germinated. We can use the analogy of the

seed and the tree: the tree of the universe is the accomplishment of

the potential of the seed that is the cosmic man. I use the word here

man in relation to its Sanskrit root manas, that means " mind " , or it

brings back to consciousness that it can reflect on itself.

 

The same image of the identity between the seed and the tree or the

cosmic man and the transitory man in the tree of the evolution

appears in the book of Genesis. In the chapter 1º, Adam is located in

the garden with all the animal and plants already created. Adam is

the summary or final stage of the evolutionary process. This

coincides with the paradigm of the man as container and a synopsis of

all the evolutionary unfolding that has preceded him.
