8. THE SPIRIT WORLD'S ACTIVITY STAGE

As you are aware, in the spirit world there is no procreation. When you go to the spirit world, you may ask a spirit, "Where were you born?" The place where spirits were born is on planet earth only. Sometimes when you ask a spirit, he may answer, "I am from another planet." At that time, you may think that humans are also born and live on other planets, and then they come here. However, it is not true. The spirit world expands to the east and west, to the south and north, in all four directions.

This universe is the spirit world's activity stage. At the same time that this world is the spirit world's activity stage, the huge universe is also the spirit world's activity stage. Today, it takes twelve years to go to Neptune by satellite. A satellite goes to Neptune, takes photos, and sends them to Earth. These photos are then shown to the public. We now live in such an age.

On this earth we are able to connect with the universe. Viewed from God's providence, it means symbolically that heavenly people are now living on the earth - people who have not fallen and have reached the standard where they are able always to connect with numerous ancestors who have spread throughout the huge universe. On earth, this is indicated symbolically by the satellite exposing the universe. (196:215)
