The Fate of Mankind
Chapter 16
The return of the energy
With regard to the superconsciousness it remains to be pointed out that it appears as a main instigating factor in all formation of fate.
What is the formation of fate?
It constitutes in the cosmic sense the coming into existence of a living being's experience of the effects of the causes it has itself released.
Does the living being then release the causes of his own fate?
Yes, absolutely!
As no form whatsoever of the experience of life can exist without being identical with an interaction between the emission of energy of the being concerned and the emission of energy of its surroundings, every form of experience will thus be the same as a reception and transmission of energy.
As no energy whatsoever can proceed in a straight line but must move in a circle, every transmission of energy will invariably sooner or later come back to its source.
The various bodies thus constitute in reality a kind of instrument for the transmission and reception of energies.
According to the particular nature of the energies and to the restraints and speedings-up to which they have been exposed, the points in time at which they return to their source will vary greatly.
In the form of thoughts, manifestations or products, the I, through the superconsciousness, elicits a transmission of the energies.
When these return they manifest themselves in the form of the fate of the individuals in question; and as the individuals have sown, so shall they reap.
The terrestrial human being knows only the physical part of this immeasurable play; that is, his physical body and, to a certain degree, its functions.
Admittedly, in the most fortunate cases he calls all the remaining functions in his consciousness "functions of spirit", but in the majority of cases "imagination", and in the less fortunate cases "superstition" and so on.
But the functions of the superconsciousness take their own course independently of this, following eternal laws and paths that invariably allow the living beings to come to experience the effects of the causes they themselves elicited, in order, through this, ultimately to manifest their consciousness as the highest love, wisdom and bliss.
With this little insight into the basic analysis of the living being we have witnessed that it constitutes three unshakable realities, namely that which experiences life, that is "the I", the I's "creative faculty" and the principle of "the created", that is its experiences or day-consciousness.
As we have seen, these three principles are absolutely inseparable.
If one of them did not exist, the two others would be an impossibility.
And as they each express a specific principle, the cosmic analysis of the living being is expressed as "a triune principle".
As none of these principles can be identical with a result of creation, the immortality of the living being becomes thereby evident as a fact.
Immortality will thus eventually be experienced by every living being and so also by the terrestrial human being, even if it is hidden from his eyes today.
With this, we have gone through as much cosmic material as I have considered necessary in order to give the reader the essential basis for understanding the coming explanation of the material fate of terrestrial mankind, its exodus from the animal kingdom and its passage over the border to an elevated, transfigured existence.
