DAY 2463: Write about the stars.

"Know thou that every fixed star hath its own planets, and every planet its own creatures, whose number no man can compute."
Baha'u'llah1

Stars. Planets, and Humanity's Maturity

Humanity isn't alone in the universe,
there are other intelligent,
sentient,
soul possessing beings
in the cosmos.

Baha'u'llah doesn't specifically say what type of creature live on the planets of other stars, or even the planets of our star system. That is left up to science to discover. Baha'u'llah, like the other divine manifestations or prophets, revealed only what humanity is ready at this point in its spiritual and material evolution to understand.

Humanity is growing up, maturing, entering its adulthood. At this time the human species is capable of comprehending many things we couldn't understand when earlier prophets--such as Moses, Abraham, Christ, Muhammad, and others--were sent by God. That changed with the appearance of the Bab and Baha'u'llsh, ushered in the maturity of the human race. We are now ready to take on the responsibility of adulthood.
