Martinus: Livets Bog, vol. 3, sect. 675

675. When the primitive human being believes that everything is manifestations of life of a god or gods, it is due to the fact that in their physical appearance in the new spiral they are still living on a kind of knowledge C from their "cosmic consciousness" in the previous spiral. The fact that they cannot be brain-conscious or wholly day-conscious in their high knowledge C is due merely to the still extremely imperfect state of development of their organisms. Their organisms first have to develop through the whole of the materialistic state of the new spiral, they must have culminated in the zone of the killing principle, before they can become truly perfect serviceable tools for a cosmic state of experiencing of life. And it is also in preparation for this new state of experiencing that the old "cosmic consciousness" from the previous spiral is degenerating or in decline in the primitive human being. Without this decline it would not culminate in the zone of the killing principle, which it must do, and will do, in order to be able to fulfil the spiral cycle's law of hunger and satiation or its experience of light and darkness.
In the case of the cosmically conscious being, its organism has reached such a standard that it can be used as a tool for higher sensory perception. The cosmic realities behind the physical illusions become real. And once again the being sees movement or the manifestation of energy as the foremost characteristic of life. It sees that everything is alive, everything is the manifestation or indication of an all-embracing living being. And it thereafter becomes one with this being.
