Concentration and dispersion

Two processes in nature

August 15th 2025
Concentration is a coming together of forces or materials at a single point. Nature continually alternates the two processes of concentration and dispersion. The most striking example of this is the formation and dispersal of clouds. Concentration is an accumulation of elements within a given space in order to materialize them, and it manifests itself first of all as a limitation. Even God limited Himself in order to create the world. Concentration is necessary for formation, for nothing can be created if the elements are not brought together and amalgamated.
Brotherhood among humans is also a form of concentration, but on a higher plane. It is the highest expression of spirituality, for the elements in a brotherhood are the souls that unite and join forces in order to realize an idea. In a spiritual brotherhood, human beings are the elements which are brought together in order to realize their high ideal: the kingdom of God on earth.*
