WORLD, what it means to us?

WORLD is the usual English term for translating the Greek word "KOSMOS." The basic meaning is "ORDER" or "ARRANGEMENT."
To UNDERSTAND when it describes things related to the INVISIBLE WORLD, we only need to read stories that are around the WORLD (our present WORLD), and figure it out.

HOW THE WORLD WAS MADE : This is a GERMAN story and has been told to German children for centuries.
BEFORE the EARTH was born the UNIVERSE was DARK and TERRIBLE.
 There was only ONE SPIRIT IN the UNIVERSE who had never been born and would never die, and that was FIM- BULT-TYR.
The UNIVERSE consisted of ONE HUGE, DEEP, STEEP-SIDED VALLEY - an enormous RAVINE  called Gin-nun-ga-gap.
This ONE SPIRIT IN the UNIVERSE (Fim-Bult- Tyr) DIVIDED the RAVINE (Gin-nun-ga-gap)  into TWO halves.
The NORTHERN most half,  called Ni-flhe-im,  was COLD and FOGGY, great cliffs of ICE fell steeply down to where the RIVER, named Hver-gel-mir,  burst OUT of the ICE and FLOWED in TWELVE separate ICY STREAMS along the RAVINE (Gin-nun-ga-gap).
The SOUTHERN half, called Mu-spelhe-im, was HOT and sheets of FLAME flared upwards and the ROCKS MELTED in the HEAT.  IN the kingdom of Mu-spelhe-im lived a BEING who was the god of that place, his name was Sur-Tur. He was the only one CAPABLE of BEARING the HEAT and FIRE of that blazing FURNACE. Surtur would SIT ON A ROCK and WATCH the TONGUES of FIRE streaming away TOWARDS the NORTHERN half (Ni-flhe-im).
