rigorously directs its radiations towards the following cosmos which it is charged to

vivifying: and, even as solar energies are projected individually towards each planet of

the system and not in all directions in space, in the same way, the energies emanated by
the Earth are directly oriented towards its satellite. Broadly speaking, this is the

mechanism of transmission. As a laboratory, the main function of organic life, is to

operate a transformation of the energies that reach it - transformation which takes
place essentially under the impulsion of Absolute III. Amongst all the species living on

Earth, only man, by reaching towards objective love, can appreciably improve the

energies received from this force. The fine energies possess great power and play a

catalytic role in the process of development of the Ray of Creation.

We repeat that this development tends essentially towards the vivification of our

satellite, through the refinement of organic life on Earth. The Scriptures give certain

indications concerning the duration of this transformation. An exegesis of Psalm LXXI

(LXXII in the Vulgate and Louis Segond) enables us to interpret the first seven verses as

King David's vision of life on Earth during the era of the Holy Ghost, when the righteous
shall flourish. The end of this happy era is indicated in a precise manner:

6
And abundance of peace until the Moon shall be carried away .

6
Carried away is a literal translation of the Slavonic text
from the original French version. One finds in Louis Segond’s text: until there is no Moon
whatsoever. It is interesting to note that this Psalm ends by these words: end of the prayers of
David, Son of Isaiah.
