As I must refer the reader to "Livets Bog" where a more detailed description of the coming world government and its results is given, I will, through the following quotation from that book convey only the essence of the fate or present epoch of evolution of terrestrial mankind. This essence can be conveyed in the following twelve points:
     

1. The victory of unselfishness over selfishness in all forms (the victory of common interest over private interest).
        
2. The creation of an international, democratic world government.
        
3. The disarmament of all countries and the establishment of an international, impartial world police force.
        
4. The development of an international, undisguised – not secret – supreme system of law and justice represented by science's most eminent people in spiritual as well as in material fields who will be qualified to know the difference between "abnormal actions" and "crimes" – having knowledge of the course of evolution and the eternal laws of life, which would thus guarantee absolute justice for everyone and everything.
        
5. The abolition of the possession by private individuals of valuable goods and their appropriation by the world state.
        
6. The abolition of money and the establishment of the personally rendered work of the individual as the only means of payment for him.
        
7. The establishment of one fund for childhood, old age and illness covering the whole of the world state and founded on the basis of deductions from work-receipts.
        
8. The use of machines for shortening material working-hours, and the replacement of these working-hours by days for study and spiritual research.
        
9. The abolition of bloodshed and policies of violence.
        
10. The abolition of torture, corporal and capital punishment, and their replacement by expert arrangements for detention and education.
         
11. The development of vegetarian food, of health and the care of the physical body, and of light, healthy housing.
         
12. The development of intellectual liberty, tolerance, humaneness and love to all living beings, to people and animals, to plants and to minerals.
         

These twelve points are thus identical with the realities around which the entire terrestrial human energy for evolution will be concentrated and under which the fulfilment of existence's highest commandment of love, "Love one another", on the basis of the new cosmic world impulse, will now approach its perfect release in the daily existence of the terrestrial human being. These twelve points are thus not a complicated speculation worked out by the brain or a hypothesis but, on the contrary, an expression of the analysis of a true fact that has come to expression in thought only on the basis of previous actual experiences. No terrestrial human being will therefore be able to exist without being in contact with these realities or being surrounded by these energies.
      Being in tune with these energies, or the twelve points mentioned, is thus the same as being in harmony with the divine world plan. It means being a stimulating factor in the creation of world peace on earth and it is the quickest way for every terrestrial human being to "the great birth" or the attainment of a transfigured existence.
      Being against the twelve points or energies means, on the other hand, being in disharmony with the energies of the universe, being against the essence of the religions of the world – it means that one is a hindrance to the liberation of terrestrial mankind from the dark areas of war and suffering, whereby one makes oneself an undermining factor in one's own absolute happiness.
      But, since the energies from the light radiation of "the divine principle of creation" (the principle that, among other things, has given rise to the religions of the world) have long ago become a dominating factor in the evolution of terrestrial mankind and have therefore established as a fact that mankind evolves from "the animal kingdom" to "the human kingdom" and not vice versa, and since this evolution can take place absolutely only on the basis of the fulfilment of the great commandment "Love one another", and since this fulfilment in turn, according to the divine world plan, as far as the terrestrial human being is concerned, can be released only in the form of the previously mentioned realities or points, the evolution of these and the creation of a divine world kingdom resting on these will here be visible as an absolute reality.
      The great events that in the present century are sweeping over the world are therefore to be seen as identical with the transformation of terrestrial mankind's twilight state to a sunlit existence. They are the death-throes of the animal kingdom in the body of terrestrial human society and the incipient resurrection of the cosmic human kingdom on earth. That these events have not been able to and will not come to pass entirely bloodlessly is quite natural as long as they are still identical with a fight that takes place in an area where hate, revenge and self-defence fight against slavery, hoarding and greed. A battlefield that is the scene of a reaction between such energies can produce only corpses. But over these corpses the world arises in a new transfigured form, and the earth becomes a vibration of intellect and love, a harmony of intuition and bliss.
