But, as far as ismaili doctrine and belief is concern [And I guess other religions share some what similar doctrine] the spiritual hierarchy or ranks of The First [Intellect] and the Universal Soul, is not only limited to our solar system, but extends beyond to the entire universe, that ...

So sir if I may ask you, does life exist only on our planet earth ???
