The cosmic world picture, which will become the high-intellectual world view of the future, appears for every living being in three quite simple, eternal analyses, namely the three cosmoses. In order to attain perfect contact with the true, cosmic world morality, it is very important that one also becomes familiar with how the world picture appears in these three analyses. No one who is unfamiliar with these three analyses can get into contact with the perfect life and represent unity or being one with the Godhead. These three analyses are, like all the other cosmic analyses of the world picture, so simple and straightforward that one does not need formulas here that are so complicated that only an Einstein can understand them. If the world picture was so complicated, how could the poor simple soul have any joy and understanding of his existence or of life? And without this understanding, how on earth could turning morality into general science be possible? Previously, morality was based on common belief, but today morality is based on common knowledge since the human being can no longer believe. Since the right understanding of the world picture is the absolutely only thing that can create peace in the world today, one understands that it is a matter of urgency. Hydrogen bombs and other ingenious materials of destruction or hell are being manufactured at lightning speed and will come to destroy the creation of culture, life and existence for millions of people through the millennia; indeed, people will come to drag themselves along in a spiritual and physical proletariat while at the same time being intellectual and ethically very highly evolved. This slavery will not be as easy as it was in people's past when they were also slaves but of initiated kings and pharaohs who were the only people who, along with their helpers, had understanding and insight. The rest of the crowd was unintellectual and felt comfortable being dictated to. This is not how it is today. Mankind would be desperately unhappy if dictatorship were thus, as now, to spread with lightning speed throughout the whole world. The present civilised mankind, with its schools and colleges and its extraordinarily great ability to control the elements is not intended to be bound spiritually and bodily by primitive, spiritless, powerful upstarts who can use their power to create only instruments of destruction and murder weapons thereby keeping mankind in a state of corruption.

Containing this hell on Earth cannot be done with the creation of ingenious abilities and materials for destroying and breaking down culture and everyday life; it cannot be done by keeping mankind at war with mankind. There is only one mankind on Earth, and it cannot possibly be happy or get any real joy from its life on Earth as long as its principal task is to destroy itself. Therefore, the one thing needful for this mankind will be for it to get to know itself and the reason why it has been placed on Earth and thus in the universe. This mankind has no world picture because the traditional world picture supplies no nourishment to its intellect. It comprises only beautiful dogmas that are based on constituting the foundation for feeling. It lacks an epic context. It does not express any continuous train of thought or cosmic analysis evident for intellectuality. In the world press it has been said that the most intelligent high priest of materialistic science, Albert Einstein, has now created a formula that expresses the world picture, but it is so incomprehensible and complicated that only he himself and a couple of other almost equally talented "Einsteins" can understand it and, as yet, cannot prove it at all in practice. How shall this world picture be able to control mankind and get rid of or stop the madness of atomic bombs? Does one really believe that it can be useful to tell people that their culture will be wiped out if they do not stop this madness? Does one really believe that this teaching can be of any use when it can be based only on something that demands such a fantastic development of the brain that it will take even more millennia before the general public will be able to understand it? Until then this world picture would of course be merely a hypothesis, a dogma that promotes belief in precisely the same way as the traditional world picture does. And since people throughout the millennia have exhausted their ability to believe to the point of loathing, triviality and nausea, mankind's spiritual and physical situation at the moment would be rather hopeless if the saving world picture and the revelation of the cosmic morality emerging from this were not far more easily accessible, not only for one's feeling but also for one's intellect and intuition.

No, the road to happiness and peace lies not in becoming an "Einstein" and coming to live at a mental level that one cannot express, explain or prove for others besides oneself. The road to happiness is fortunately easily accessible in quite a different way and appears in a language that is otherwise easily accessible for the ordinary intelligent terrestrial human being. Indeed, it is not even nearly as difficult as the explanation and the understanding of the structure of the various modern types of atomic bombs. And thus it is an aspect of this world picture that I shall express for you here. It is this aspect of the world picture that I have expressed in my cosmic analyses as the three cosmoses. It is a fact for every normal civilised human being that it lives on an earth and has a sky above it. In this sky it sees a multitude of planets, suns and solar cities. Many species of visible fellow human beings, animals and plants live alongside it. These living beings that are known in this way represent something one is not immediately aware of that also exists among the phenomena of the heavens, on planets and suns and behind the physical spherical body of the Earth. Within the materialistic world, one has the tendency to recognise these celestial phenomena almost as merely barren and uninhabited substances, energies or forces and consequently the known life on Earth as the universe's only and thereby highest form of life. In Livets Bog (The Book of Life) or in my series of cosmic analyses I have called this life form the "mesocosmos". This mesocosmos thus consists of our own consciousness and the organisms of known living beings. We are used to calling everything that lies outside these known forms of life nature.

What is wrong with science's attitude or method of research? What is wrong is that it has forgotten that there is something called life, and science is therefore focussed only on matter and therefore finds answers only in terms of matter, the characteristics of matter and the weights and measures of matter, which in no way whatsoever provide any revelation. Thus the materialistic researcher does not use all of his knowledge. He knows well that he himself and the known fellow beings constitute something more than mere dead, chance releasings of energy. He knows well that his own actions come into being through his will releasing or revealing his thoughts, wishes and desires. He sees that within the sphere of the human creative faculty a logical creation cannot possibly take place by itself or happen merely by chance. Indeed, he completely ignores these real, scientific facts in his research, which consequently becomes extremely naïve and unscientific and from a cosmic point of view quite irrelevant, regardless of how intellectual and logical it may seem to be in purely materialistic terms. He has an overview of the entire mesocosmos and sees that behind every single one of these processes of creation no creation whatsoever occurs except by virtue of living beings. But when no logical creation can take place here without a living being as its source or foundation, why then does one not attune oneself to the fact that the vast revelations of energy and processes of creation in the whole of this vast mass of energy that makes up the heavens and outer space or the macrocosmos, should be precisely the same as those that are to be found in the mesocosmos? It is here that the great shortcoming of materialistic science's attitude emerges, a shortcoming that renders material science unscientific and in so doing promotes war and destroys the spirit.

Why should there not be intelligence, will, creative desire and creative joy behind the logical processes of creation in the macrocosmos as well as behind creation in the mesocosmos? When such small, microbial processes of creation as those that people carry out can take place as only an expression of consciousness, will, desire and wish, why then should such tremendously logical processes of creation be based on chance? How can a logical creation be the result of chance? Such an assumption is not merely contrary to the ways of nature but is also potentially lethal. And at the moment it is with such an assumption that one perceives the macrocosmos, viewing the world as materialistic, godless, devoid of spirit, unconscious and expressive of death rather than life. Indeed, does one not believe that it is better to begin by believing that the macrocosmos is a continuation of the expression of life in precisely the same way as the mesocosmos is everywhere a one hundred per cent expression of life? Does one not believe that very soon one will begin to find proofs of life? Ought not the entire logical lawboundness that governs everything in the universe be an expression or proof of life? Where does one have any proof of the opposite? And is not nature – in all the processes that the human being has the ability to see – logical? Logic is the same as purposefulness, but purposefulness can of course exist only as the revelation of preceding wishes, which in turn is the same as thought. And surely thought can exist only as the most outstanding proof of life? The macrocosmos is thus one single, great revelation of logical processes of which the Earth is a suitably adapted result for us. We must thus find ourselves inside – not a random mass of dead matter – but a logical, conscious mass of matter that is thus governed by spirit and will. However, a mass of matter governed in this way by spirit and will* is of course the same principle as our own organism. It is also a logical, conscious mass of matter that is governed by spirit and will. Since such a mass of matter or combination of substances governed by life is a living being, it is here evident to us that the macrocosmos is a living being.

But we have in our knowledge of the mesocosmos yet another huge amount of material that determines that we are compelled to perceive the macrocosmos as a living being. Here we have, as we know, our knowledge of the combinations of substances that constitute a living being. We sense ourselves as the directing midpoint in our own organism. All sensations from the various areas of the body are received by our I. We sense both pleasantness and unpleasantness. We have become aware that our organism does not consist of random substances, but that the matter in it consists of myriads of living beings that "live and move and have their being" in our organism. These small beings live, breathe, eat, drink, think and experience life within us. The functions of our organism are natural forces for them; they are in principle continents and oceans; they are their world and playground. Here they have their joys and sorrows, their hell and kingdom of heaven. For these beings, our organisms and those of our fellow beings are thus the macrocosmos, and our I is their macro-I, and their well-being is our well-being; if these do not feel well, our I does not feel well either. But when we are thus one with these, why then should we not also be subject to the same principle? Why should we not be a microcosmos inside a macrocosmos? Why should we not be cells or microbeings in a larger organism? Why should this thought be fantastic when there is thus a precedent for it in our own organism and experience of life? Thus, everything is of course alive, and it is thereby a matter of course that the law of life is the creation of blessing, joy and happiness, and that the opposite – sorrow, suffering and darkness or hell – can take place only where the law of life is not fulfilled. If it were only the mesocosmos that was "alive" and expressing life, it would not matter how the microbeings lived. If we did not have any life and thereby had no feeling or sensation in our organs or in our organism, it would not matter how our microbeings behaved. But this is not the case. We are dependent to an extraordinary degree on our microbeings feeling well or having their conditions of life fulfilled; if the opposite is the case, we get sick, the harmony between them and us or in our mutual cooperation has ceased, and hell sets in. Why should there not be the same relationship between us and the macrobeing in whose organism (the universe) we are situated? We appear with a specially formed organism that is intended to be able to fulfil a special mission in this macro-organism. Mankind is thus collectively a special organ in this organism, just as lions are a special organ, tigers are one, crocodiles are one, apes are one and so on, each with their organism intended to fulfil a particular process of creation in this macro-organism. If this process is not fulfilled, not only do we ourselves feel unwell, but the macrobeing also gets symptoms of illness. Does it not become evident from this world picture that Providence is not only alive, but it also becomes evident that we shall find ourselves in a special relationship with this Providence; we shall fulfil a special purpose and a special organ activity in order to become one with this Providence and thereby gain happiness. Thus, here God once again begins to come into the human being's sight and confirms the eternal truth: "in him we live and move and have our being".
