The Godhead's revelation of himself and the way out of the cosmic winter zone for terrestrial human beings
The universe, this all-embracing work of creation, this gigantic panorama stretched out over uncounted light-years from eternity to eternity with its infinite ocean of working organisms, macrocosmic as well as mesocosmic and microcosmic, and the equally gigantic ocean of creations and created things produced by these, constitute the manifestation or revelation of a function of consciousness working through the highest immortal Self of all living beings as well as the result of this function, an all-embracing cosmic display of will and behaviour, revealing itself as based on omnipotence, all-wisdom and all-love.
These phenomena can exist only as characteristics of a living source.
And the source here can only be identical with the eternal supreme Godhead.
The universe thus constitutes the eternal Godhead's revelation of himself, his unshakable unveiling of the solution of the mystery of life through which he takes all living beings to his heart and makes them one with the vast ocean of light of his own eternal life, identical with eternity and infinity.
In this divine panorama, in this great sphere of love of the Godhead, terrestrial mankind finds himself in the secondary field of consciousness of the Godhead, the cosmic winter zone of darkness or of life, which means the contrast to the great ocean of light of the Godhead.
It is true that there is war, pain and suffering, distress and anxiety here, but this is so only in order that the eternal living beings behind the organisms can experience darkness or the contrast to light and thereby have their abilities developed in the opposite of darkness, namely humanity or love, by virtue of which they can become the primary instruments for manifestation of the Godhead in the unfolding of the highest wisdom and love in the spheres of light or the cosmic summer zone.
But terrestrial mankind has already begun to be satiated with the manifestations of darkness.
This satiation shows itself as a very widespread wish to be freed from the darkness, from the war that nearly everyone wages against everyone else.
A very pronounced longing for a lasting peace is strongly evident.
Humane and charitable organisations in the form of peace movements or peace leagues, as well as the great humane relief-measures for the populations of countries in unfortunate situations, together with the injunctions of the humane world religions about neighbourly love, are irrefutably mild, cosmic winds of spring.
It is an unshakable fact that immortal mankind is on its way towards the light and warmth from the cosmic summer of life in the primary consciousness of the Godhead that lies ahead.
