The fact that the living being's life experience is exclusively an effect of its own way of being is far from having become clear to terrestrial human beings. If it had, their way of thinking and acting would be completely different from the manifestation of the mentality of war that one comes across here on Earth between nations and states and between individual human beings in their everyday lives. One cannot blame human beings for not knowing better and for therefore not acting in a better way, but life itself will gradually provide them with the knowledge and compassion that will cause them no longer to have the heart to behave as they are doing at present. Quite a number of human beings around the globe are already beginning to possess a mentality in which the desire for peace, both on the large and the small scale, is connecting with a growing ability to take part in creating peace in the world around them. For these human beings a knowledge of the cosmic laws can be a further inspiration to contribute to the creation of peace and love in the world, since they will be able to understand that the work they are doing is long-term, and that every single little thing that they do that is in favour of and a joy to their surroundings has a far greater significance than it might seem to have at this moment.

If one understands that the living being is immortal and that it lives more than once and that it creates its own fate from one life to the other, this offers completely new perspectives on everyday existence and therefore on the concept of fate. It is clear to most people that cause and effect belong together, and that within days, weeks, months or years one can experience the effects of what one has oneself caused. The greater the period of time that divides the effect from the cause, the harder it is to see the connection. So when chains of cause and effect extend over several lives or physical incarnations it is not so surprising that human beings are completely unaware that there is a connection and a meaning in what can look so meaningless and unjust. But from the cosmic point of view nothing happens by chance, and no being is able to experience anything other than what they are themselves the innermost cause of. No being can avoid its fate, whether it is pleasant or unpleasant. It receives the effects of its actions or its way of being, and these effects correspond to the thoughts and actions that are their causes. If the being has released an evil action, this action will create correspondingly unpleasant effects, just as good actions will of course in the end release good effects. In this way the living being is the absolute master of its own fate.

Once terrestrial human beings learn that they are spiritual beings and that it is the spirit that is primary in their existence and that they can exist without being incarnated in a physical body, they will quite naturally ask the question: "Yes, but why should I incarnate in a physical body at all? Is it necessary? If it causes so many difficulties and such suffering would it not be better if one could stay in the spiritual state?"

On the spiritual plane human beings will at some time reach the stage of being "in God's image after his likeness". Concerning God's ability to create we have learnt that "he spoke and it came about, he commanded and there it was", and it is this method of creation that terrestrial human beings are evolving towards through their physical incarnations. But first they have to become so perfect that they can overcome the resistance in the physical world – not through struggle and war – but through logic and love. When at some point in terrestrial human beings' creative manifestation and entire way of being there is no discord, no mental short-circuits, no accidents and sufferings, when everything that they create is one hundred per cent a joy and a blessing to living beings, they will then no longer need to incarnate in physical matter. At that point it will no longer be necessary to have a tool with which it can reap its mistakes in the form of pain, resistance and all possible kinds of difficulties. Human beings will then be able to exist in the living beings' true, primary zone to which they belong: the spiritual world with its many bright, radiant spheres, where everything is in contact with the keynote of the universe, love, which is the Godhead's primary manifestation of consciousness.

The manifestation and creation that the living being displays is its entire way of being, all the way from direct creation to the slightest expression of sorrow or joy, dislike or fondness. All this is set in motion by the forces of the "I's" superconsciousness, which means the forces and kinds of movements that this "I" is the absolute originator of. But as no kind of movement whatsoever can come to an end anywhere other than in the eternity body from which it issued, this conclusion of the course of the movement through this eternity body will invariably sooner or later be experienced as the movement in the consciousness that we call experience. This takes place through the subconscious bodies, which means, in the case of terrestrial human beings, through the physical body and the mental bodies. All of these are details in the eternity body that are renewed and changed, but the living being has always, no matter where in the evolutionary spiral it is, the physical and mental bodies of the subconsciousness that are provisional tools for the living being's in- and out-going forces in its eternity body. The in-going forces or movements will be registered by the "I" as pleasant or unpleasant, according to whether they, at the time when they were released towards the "I's" surroundings or fellow beings, were formed as pleasant or unpleasant. Since all movement is released energy of consciousness, totally irrespective of whether it is macro-, meso- or microcosmic, it has its origin in a superconsciousness and moves in a living being's eternity body. There are no movements or releases of energy whatsoever that are not released by an "I". The forces of Nature are released by living macrobeings, and the movements in substances or matter are released by living microbeings, and it is only in relation to us that they are macro- and microcosmic, they all have their own mesocosmic experiences and forms of manifestation, just like we have. And we are also both macro- and microbeings that release energies that, at the same time as being significant for our own experience and formation of fate, are significant for macrocosmos and microcosmos. The living beings can in all eternity send out energy and receive energy, and this is the very reason why they are living. In this way they can make themselves known and experience their surroundings and themselves in relationship to their surroundings. But were it not for the fact that the manifestational movement released by the "I" from the superconsciousness was subject to a principle, a condition of which is that it can only conclude its course in the superconsciousness from which it issued, it would be totally impossible for the "I" to experience anything at all. Neither would we be capable of becoming masters of our own fate if the manifestational releases of foreign beings could enter our superconsciousness independently of our own released manifestational movement. It is this movement of ours that, almost like a conveyer belt, can take with it other beings' unpleasant intentions against us into our experience of life. If this was not the case we would never ever be able to overcome other beings' evil intentions. By forgiving and by breaking oneself of the habit of being angry, hating, persecuting and speaking ill of other beings we make our own returning fate-movement immune to manifestations that have these kinds of vibrations. No movement whatsoever and thereby no experience can gain access to our eternity body or superconsciousness other than through the manifestational energy of the same kind as we ourselves have released. If this were not the case the living being would be the plaything of all kinds of chance occurrences. As it is it can be only a plaything of its own ignorance, but it cannot avoid having experiences and thereby acquiring knowledge and an overall view of causes and effects, and through this it will gradually be able to free itself from reincarnation and the heaviness of physical matter and will become a "god-being", that is to say a tool for manifesting and creating for the Godhead's primary consciousness, day consciously experiencing itself as one with God and identical to eternity, infinity and love.
