A recent study was released stating that Physicists Find Evidence That The Universe Is A ‘Giant Brain.’ In the article it says, “The idea of the universe as a ‘giant brain’ has been proposed by scientists – and science fiction writers – for decades. But now physicists say there may be some evidence that it’s actually true. In a sense.

Rudolf Steiner had written, “The Soul of the World lies outstretched Upon the Cross of the World’s Body. In five out-beaming rays, luminously it lives Through Wisdom, Love and Power of will. Through all awareness and ego-awareness. Finding thus within itself The Spirit of the World.
