677. Since terrestrial mankind's outstanding civilised human beings belong to a large extent to the "non-believing section" of the evolutionary ladder and are therefore more or less in the spiral's zone of darkness and therefore farthest away from knowledge of their original, cosmic origin and the nature and cause of life, it is not so strange that their absolute origin including life or existence itself is, in these beings' present state, a mystery. But as this section contains many beings that have passed the culmination of darkness and are thus on the threshold of meeting the Father – which means that they have reached beyond the materialistic denial of all spiritual life and are actually hungering and longing for a true explanation or solution to the mystery, and are at the same time sufficiently advanced to be able to begin to understand this solution – we have therefore arrived at those beings for whom the present analyses are of particular interest. In "Livets Bog" we describe beings of this kind as advanced seekers after truth. And with such beings in mind we will now begin to present Symbol no. 11, which expresses nothing less than the solution to the mystery of life. It symbolises all the incontestable key points through which the solution to existence or life is established as a fact.
