Scientists Follow Theosophy and
Say There Are Billions of Solar Systems
Joaquim Soares
Our
galaxy (image above) is teeming with solar systems
One of the great challenges of science, in
which the scientific community has invested a lot of resources in recent
decades and years, is the question of whether there is life on other planets.
It is a subject
that also fascinates the public. For students of Esoteric Philosophy, however, this
is a misplaced question first and foremost, since, in fact, “all is Life” in
the universe.
The Cosmos
presented by the Secret Doctrine is far beyond the mechanistic speculations
offered by science. Theosophy recognizes the existence of various states of
substance, worlds within worlds and demonstrates that consciousness is on the
basis of the entire manifested universe.
The humanity to which we belong is not alone in the universe. Numerous
humanities live and evolve throughout the vast outer and inner space, at every
level of expression and conscience. The concept of a plurality of inhabited worlds
is present in most of the ancient traditions. This is the teaching of
Theosophy.
In one of the “Mahatmas
Letters", written in 1882, one can read:
“…We know with the sole help of our naked eye a number of [planets outside the solar system];
every completely matured Sun-star having like in our own system
several companion planets in fact.” [1]
Science is always quick
in its progress and, in 2012, only 130 years after that 1882 letter, a group of
scientists came to the same conclusion as the sages of the Himalayas .
They realized that
that “every star as a planet”, which means that there are indeed billions of
planets. In a study published in the scientific journal “Nature” [2], researchers estimate that the
Milky Way galaxy contains at least 100 billion planets, most of them being Earth-sized.
The authors declare that “these planets are at least as numerous as the stars
in the Milky Way”, and they conclude “that stars are orbited by planets as a
rule, rather than as an exception.”
As someone said in
the Yahoo e-group E-Theosophy:
“This is an
indication that the so-called ‘Exact’ Science has a future. As a younger sister
of Esoteric Philosophy, it is still naïve; but it is also promising already.”
Perhaps it will
not take too long for some scientists, while looking at the night sky, to come
to the conclusion that many other humanities travel with us through Space,
under the wise light of Stars.
