Maybe I should highlight why this is so important, [] emphasis added:
The sum total of life on all the planets in the universe was called by the Essenes the cosmic ocean of life. And the sum total of currents of thought in the universe was called the cosmic ocean of thought, or cosmic consciousness in more modern terminology.
This cosmic ocean of life and cosmic ocean of thought form a dynamic unity of which man is an inseparable[/crucial] part. Every thinking body of every individual is in constant inner communion with this unity. Every human being is an individualized part of the unity.
