1527. Through the aspect of eternal life that we have explained here in this volume, we have now provided exhaustive evidence of how the psyche of the terrestrial human being constitutes an "animal mentality" that is degenerating and a "human mentality" that is beginning to grow. It has also become obvious to us that this psyche of the terrestrial human being is not intrinsically a pleasant state. Since the animal mentality has existed for millions of years, and the individual has thus used this mentality for thousands of lives, it has become an extremely deeply ingrained habitual consciousness. The moral views on which this is based are still to a great extent views from which the terrestrial human being is almost unable to extricate himself. And through additional thousands of years of moral teaching, upbringing and experiences of suffering that are disadvantageous to animal tendencies but positively promote a diametrically opposite attitude to life, which in turn in its heart of hearts gives rise to the wish or the will for humaneness or a certain degree of neighbourly love, this part of the individual's mentality comes into conflict with the part of its mentality that still represents its primordial state or animal tendencies every time these tendencies have been the stronger in its consciousness and have been given expression. Every time such an individual loses its temper or has an outburst of anger aimed at its neighbour, indeed, has perhaps even assaulted and tortured this "neighbour" both physically and mentally, it will sooner or later "repent" or "regret" its action. This "repentance", which is the same as a "pang of conscience", continues to torture the individual until it sooner or later subsequently manages to give its neighbour an apology and thereby brings itself into harmony with this neighbour. This pang of conscience thus constitutes the dissatisfaction with one's own way of being or acting that arises every time one has not acted in accordance with the purely "human" tendencies in one's consciousness, but has acted towards one's neighbour in accordance with the purely "animal" tendencies, or, in other words, every time one discovers, like Paul, that the "good that one would, one does not, and the evil that one would not, that one does".
