THE NATURAL EARTH

	hen you study a body carefully, you will notice three things. Beyond its graphic outer appearance - which means, among other things, its form - a body has its circumference, its surface, and its coloring in accordance with its length, width, and height; and, most importantly, the body has a weight which will allow it to take a certain position.
	For example, when you study the shape of an irregular stone, you will find its center of gravity in a particular part. This may easily be determined with a bulky piece of wood; in the water, its center of gravity will be at the lowest point.
	The center of gravity should not be confused with the central point. Every body has two center points, one of gravity and another of physical measurement. When you examine bodies of all kinds, the center of gravity will never coincide with the corporeal center, not even in the instance of a mathematically perfect, properly poured metal ball.
	For example, break a steel bar into two pieces and, when it is highly magnified, you will notice the uneven crystalline texture at the break. When such a difference can be noticed in the crystalline structure of one of the most solid of metal bodies, by how much more will such a difference be perceptible to the eye in a less dense body?
	Anyone can determine this when making a scale. If one were to construct a mathematically symmetrical scale beam out of dense metal and balance it in a scale fork, one would be convinced that, even in a mathematically correct construction, the two parts of the scale beam will never form a perfect horizontal plane; rather, one part will be a bit longer than the other.
	Even in bodies that were formed by My power, the center of gravity and the central point by measurement do not coincide, just as is the case with the positive and negative polarities.
	Why are both poles on a magnetic bar not located at the mathematical center, but rather at both ends? Why is the husk of the inner seed not in the center, but only at the outer part of the seed, while its center point and opposite pole are located farther inwards and outwards from the germ husk? Why is it that a human being and an animal do not have the heart in the mathematical center of the body?
	From these questions alone you may deduce that the center of gravity of a body is something entirely different from the measured central point.
	Thus, when we are dealing with something as important as the unveiling of the central point of the Earth, we should not take it for the measured center, but rather the actual center of life, or, in other words, the center of gravity of the Earth. The measured central point is only an imaginary point without any volume, and therefore there is nothing further to be said about it.
	For these reasons, we shall now turn to the much more significant center of gravity of the Earth, which will, of course, be of great dimension, so that we may devote ample room to the terrestrial activities of life that go on within her.
	What does the center of gravity of the Earth look like? Is it a rock full of diamonds, or iron, or perhaps a magnet? Or is it a hollow space, filled with an eternal, inextinguishable fire of which, perhaps, the volcanic mountains scattered over the Earth are but the chimneys? Of course, none of this is true.
	The center of gravity in a human being is the heart, which, from the physical point of view, is an extremely artistic cellular tissue in which the living soul resides; and within this soul the spirit of the human being, like a weaver, is active. The loom is equipped for the development of earthly life and its timely maintenance, so that, through its wonderful construction, everything which is necessary for physical life can be produced by the soul.
	For the Earth, this is the significance of the center of gravity, which our next investigation will disclose.
