Does that mean that since no "human" stepped foot onto
Australia, where I currently reside, until
approximately 60,000 odd years ago, that I am
currently living in some science fiction fantasy? Your
statement implies the universe is temporally and
spatially static, this makes no sense. In an evolving
universe the SPIRIT/SOUL would want to travel to a
physical place where it is most conducive to its
current form of evolution. Earth is but one physical
place, should not there be others? Is not science
"discovering" new planets virtually everyday? Is not
science "discovering" new habitats where life resides,
eg bacteria in clouds over Austria. True, science is
not the be all and end all of Theosophy, though it is
a component and must be considered. I am sure religion
and philosophy have much to say on this.
