32.562-3

“You, my boy, perhaps still do not know in what, namely, the cosmic process of the sacred Antkooano consists?

“This sacred Antkooano can proceed only in those planets upon which in general all cosmic truths have become known to all the beings.

32.563

“And all cosmic truths usually become known to all on these planets, thanks to the fact that the beings of the given planet who by their conscious labors learn some truth or other share it with other beings of their planet, and in this way all the cosmic truths gradually become known by all the beings of the given planet without any distinction.
