Beyond this world, this solar system, this galaxy, this material universe, there are also parallel universes, many of which overlap our own, only in another dimension. The mind partakes of many universes in forming its individuality. It's not as if we are fortunate or unfortunate, but rather our role is to make the best out of the quite unique combination that comes to us as our "self." This is a monumental task, and no one does it very well, but that's not the point.

The world is evolving, humanity is evolving, and our job is to lend a hand. Many don't know this yet and try to "get" all they can. But that's just our level of childishness as a species. We're just waking up to the Grand Plan.
Now there are a multiplicity of sub-forms within a somewhat symmetrical whole. Each sub-form in turn has sub-forms, and this is just the surface projection, so to speak. But this is not just the other-world, this also to some degree you. The great esoteric teachers draw on the wisdom of the legendary Emerald Tablet to suggest, "As above, so below." This means that you are no less complex than the marvels of the heavens.

Like the heavens, using astrology as an example---though you could just as well use almost any sufficiently complex (but not overwhelmingly complex) system---biology, chemistry, astronomy, the ancient Chinese "Book of Changes," Tarot cards, etc.---the lessons of the planets and the stars, their positions relative to each other, and so forth, can generate intuitions about the amazing mix of temperament, interests, cultural and family background, abilities (and disabilities), and so forth that make up your individuality, your gifts and challenges.

Now how are you going to make the best of this situation? As we collectively begin to unravel those mysteries closest in, we are realizing that it often can be done by finding the kinds of people who share your gifts, sensitivities, even handicaps---or you complement each other---you do one thing you do easily and it difficult for them; they do something that's hard for you and easy for them!

Oh, you ask, "Say, is it really this complicated?" The answer is, "Of course!" We're talking about what many of you sense as "God," the Everything Becoming, the greatest and most fundamental truth you can imagine. If it were less than this it wouldn't be the greatest, then, would it? It's supposed to be quite beyond what your mind can begin to begin to conceive.
