As the unfinished or undeveloped beings on the awake physical plane know nothing of their spiritual structure and existence, since it is not directly accessible to the physical senses and cannot yet be transferred by means of memory to the being's physical day-consciousness, there has, in the worst cases, arisen the superstition that this liberation from the physical organism, which the beings experience during the above-mentioned process of death, is an absolute death, an absolute cessation of this being's experience of life and existence. But since the physical organism does not constitute the real being but constitutes merely a temporarily constructed instrument for the being's temporary step in evolution and the fulfilment of the specific conditions of life at this stage, the being does not die just because it loses its physical organism. On the contrary, this liberation from its physical organism is actually a vital necessity for the being's continued evolution or transformation. How could beings transform themselves from plants to animals, and from animals to the present terrestrial human beings, and how could these in turn be transformed from their present unfinished state to the divine state in which they are totally transformed into "human beings in God's image" if the opportunity for them to replace their physical organisms was not created at the same time? These organisms are designed so that they can be injured, in order that the beings can thereby experience the sufferings that they, by virtue of their mistakes or the unfinished state of their mode of existence, must of necessity come to experience in order, through this, to learn to avoid the mistakes and become one hundred per cent perfect in both bodily and spiritual manifestations, and thereby experience the culmination of life in the experience of light and well-being. As the beings' erroneous manifestations can be so far-reaching that the effects of these can completely destroy their physical organisms, so as to render them totally useless as instruments for experiencing and manifesting on the physical plane, it is thus an extraordinarily great divine blessing for the beings in question that they can be freed from these wrecks of organisms and again each have the opportunity to build up a new physical organism. As the being, through its physical epoch of evolution, grows through higher and higher forms of life experience and manifestation, it is also here a vital necessity for it that, for every new higher form of physical life experience and manifestation it grows into, it acquires a corresponding, new, physical form of organism by virtue of which it can experience and manifest itself perfectly in contact with the specific laws or conditions for experiencing life pertaining to this new sphere of life experience and manifestation. It would not be very good if today's refined and highly developed, humane, cultured human being, through replacing its organisms or being reborn, had not long since been liberated from the lizard organisms, ape organisms and primitive, prehistoric human organisms that were vital necessities for it to inhabit in its previous epochs of evolution in order for it to be able to attain the relatively highly developed state of manifestation and life experience in which it exists today. We see here that the so-called process of death is an absolutely indispensable link in the divine creation of the human being in God's image. As a further confirmation of the necessity of death there is also the commonly known cause of death, namely the decrepitude of the organism during old age and its ensuing unfitness as an instrument for physical experience of life and creation. As the above-mentioned organism is a created phenomenon, it must of necessity, like other created phenomena, be subject to time and space. It is thus, of necessity, perishable. It hereby constitutes a contrast to the being's very highest spiritual structure, which, in its fundamental essence, has never been created and therefore cannot be subject to time and space. The being's highest spiritual structure constitutes its I and superconsciousness. As this structure is eternally imperishable and constitutes the real living being behind the physical organism, the same being can thus easily survive all time- and space-dimensional things and thereby also the death of its physical organism.
