252. Later in Livets Bog we shall elucidate in special symbols and chapters these divine themes and problems just touched upon and so here in the Introduction we cannot elaborate them further. But we have now obtained such a survey over terrestrial mankind's zone of evolution that we have become familiar with the fact that all living beings here on Earth, in spite of all darkness, suffering and pain, in spite of all privation and need, find themselves on a "Road towards Light", and that all without exception will meet with the Eternal Father and become conscious of their eternal existence. Here in the form of an Introduction to Livets Bog, we have thoroughly studied this road in such a way that the seeker of Truth is given all the material and all the groundwork necessary for him to come to a recognition of his own spiritual position, and thereby be able to direct the course of his consciousness to be in harmony with the different details and problems of that road so that he can go along it with gladness and confidence, through the hardships and difficulties and zones of darkness and suffering yet to be experienced, not for one moment losing sight of his divine goal - "Light" or a "transfigured existence" - for the ray from the new divine world impulse will, through Livets Bog, henceforward illuminate his way towards eternal realities.
      It is in complete harmony with this that the analyses of the new world impulse, in other words the divine world plan, are manifested in coherent lines of thought, and thereby made visible not only for the feeling but also for the intelligence and common sense and handed to the serious-minded reader in the following chapters. And the "Eternal Truth" is hereby made plain for the world, while the true analysis of life, in the form of this book, is a guarantee for its own identity as absolute Truth by virtue of its nature in unveiling all ideas, all concepts and all facts as being in contact with the divine saying: "Everything is very good", for the speech of life is the voice of the divine Father addressing all living beings and concentrated in the words: "See! I am with you always through all time and all things in all eternity".*
