VISITING COSMORAMA

Among the books that Huberto Rohden wrote on Universal Philosophy, Philosophy of the Gospel, Philosophy of Life, Education, Mysteries of Nature, biographies etc. there is in the topic Mysteries of Nature, an enigmatic 150-page book entitled “COSMORAMA”, inspired by on the imaginary journey to a distant region of the Universe inhabited by spiritually evolved beings.

To undertake this journey, the author caused his own “death” in a fictional shipwreck, “resurrecting” shortly afterwards, on a small planet called Cosmorama; a world of superior life, far removed from the reality in which humans live on Earth.

And this supposed death was so well orchestrated, so real, that many of his readers eagerly sought the publisher to see if Mr Rohden had died!

In Cosmorama, Rohden learned that its inhabitants have the practice of achieving their goals, in the sense that the work in building their world is not worth for the visible results, it is worth for what the work is, it is worth for the nature of intent, disinterest, love and enthusiasm, and ethics among its inhabitants - for they comprehend that the mission of co-workers of Divinity is sublime.

This text is in line with what has happened to planet Earth in recent decades, due to the devastation of its resources. Although Nature is resilient, at this rate of destruction, it will not survive for many more decades of existence, as science says that if nothing is done now, nothing else can be done in 50 years!

“The inhabitants of Cosmorama are attuned to the Creator and, therefore, harmonized with Nature. No one can be subconsciously united with the Universe, without maintaining a permanent union with the omniscient part of that same Universe.

For the first time in my life, I was acutely aware of how much the Earth's inhabitants are divorced from the world around them ... from the earthly Nature and its human brothers.

The purely sensory man, not yet intellectualized coexists with Nature because he is an integral part of it, dominated by the same automatic laws that govern this department of the Universe, a slave to subconscious instincts like any mineral, vegetable or animal.

The intellectualized man partially emancipates himself from the laws of non-human Nature, because he conquered ego-conscience, which is a human privilege, consequently becoming selfish, self-centred, self-serving. He thinks of himself as a tyrant, a dictator and explorer of Nature who ends up being a slave to man.

But how can the slave befriend of whom enslaves?

For this reason, Nature on Earth is the enemy of the intellectual man, not yet rational, which unfortunately destroys Nature by altering its biological balance.

Man, surpassing the senses and intellect, the rational man, fully realized with the Spiritual Reason of the Infinite, the Cosmic Man, is no longer a slave nor does he enslave Nature, instead, he is a friend and ally because he comprehends Nature and Nature comprehends him.

The Cosmic being is always a mix between the material and the spiritual, between the mundane and the divine. This fusion of the elements from below and from above, of plurality and unity, is what produces a world of ineffable poetry because poetry is essentially a consortium between two different things, it is the “identity of opposites”, the mysterious synthesis of antitheses. Poetry is unity in diversity, diversity with unity. Whoever perceives the unique essence in many existences, and in these many existences, perceives the only essence, this man is a poet. Poetry is the incarnation of the eternal Logos and resurrection of the ephemeral matter, eternalized. Such is the Universal man, and the more this man penetrates in Nature, the more he is in the depths of the Creator.

Just as lovers do not explore each other, but spontaneously serve each other, and in wanting to serve they find the supreme bliss, so also the cosmic man does not explore Nature but cultivates it lovingly, and it opens spontaneously and joyfully its secrets and treasures. For this reason, the cosmic man is a being that produces miracles, which is none other than the spontaneous exchange between the latent forces of Nature and its natural use by man.

Francis of Assisi was one of the greatest cosmic men that earthly humanity knows - he had made his marriage, as he says: with Mrs Poverty, that is, he had acquired “poverty by the spirit” or “purity of heart”, which it is nothing but the complete and definitive liberation from the enslaved world of the senses and the world of the enslaving intellect, entering the fascinating universe of the "glorious freedom of the children of God”.

The man who is motivated by the senses is compulsorily dependent.

The intellectual man is deceptively independent.

The rational man is spontaneously interdependent.”
