THE IDEAL NATURE OF HUMAN EXISTENCE
The idea that the human mind and body resemble the divine mind and body amounts to a profound anthropomorphic principle, which pervaded the ancient science. We have already seen that it can be used to predict accurately the smallest audible wavelength that can be heard by the human ear.
Yet why does this principle work? As we have seen, the sound waves that are heard by the human ear correspond to sound waves in the ambient atmosphere of the earth. If the earth’s atmosphere were to have a different air density, then the speed of sound in air would be different, as would the wavelengths associated with a given frequency of audible sound.In this case, the prediction regarding the smallest audible wavelength, based upon the measured arrangement of the matched pairs of layers in the metaphysical Logos, would no longer hold true. This wavelength would have a size different from 1 digit.
Yet this is not the case. The particular air density in which human beings have evolved carries the smallest audible wavelength: roughly 1 digit. This raises a fundamental question regarding the ideal nature of both the human being and our planet. According to the ancients, human beings are unique among all created beings in the sense that they are suited ideally for the realization of spiritual immortality. Moreover, this realization was deemed the ultimate purpose of creation. In order for human beings to evolve, however, they need a more or less ideal environment—an ideal planet.
Of all the planets within our solar system, only Earth provides the ideal environment for such evolution. When scientists search the starry heavens for possible signs of intelligent life, they look typically to other solar systems similar to our own that might include a planet similar to our own. It is accepted that the conditions required for the evolution of organic life, including humans, are very specific. Not just any planet will do; it has to resemble our own. If the human represents an ideal organic being capable of realizing the very purpose of creation, then the planet upon which human beings evolve must be ideal.
