We are not able to fully understand or appreciate the Galaxy as a living entity. But everything we can learn about this great being, can help us understand more. 

In a lecture from 1959, Dr. George King says that the Galaxy is in fact a Lord of Creation and suffering on our behalf. 

“…if it is—and we have no reason to believe it isn’t: we’ve good reason to believe it is, if Jesus says so—if it is one of the Lords of Creation, this intelligence must be suffering tremendous limitation on behalf of all those things which reside within it.”
