657. But an organism's microbeings can also have their existence disturbed in another way; they can to a certain extent even completely lose their living conditions in one area or another. Such disturbances arise if the organism suffers major or minor injuries. These injuries can, of course, be so great that the organism is completely destroyed. But if they are below that limit, they will in the worst cases result in life-long disability and in less serious cases a disability of a kind that is only temporary or passing. It is of course inevitable that such a disability, in its worst form, will make existence or living conditions for the microbeings involved more difficult and harsher than they would have been without the occurrence of the disability. In the less serious cases the inconvenience caused by the disability may be partly or wholly overcome by artificial means, as far as the microbeings are concerned. They therefore struggle against the affliction and thereby achieve an accelerated development, in other words, a better possibility of developing than would otherwise have been the case. We have brought up this issue here because, as we will see in due course, terrestrial human beings, as microbeings in the Earth's organism, find themselves in exactly such a situation. The Earth's organism has a slight "disability", the difficulties of which terrestrial human beings are to a certain extent in the process of overcoming artificially. We will therefore take this opportunity to observe what such a disability ultimately can bring about for the microbeings, and how this analysis fits into the great final analysis of the universe: "Everything is very good".
