1532. But even if it has become obvious here that the observance of the great commandment, "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself", is life's very highest standard of morality, it is also evident to us that this morality is something relatively new here on the Earth. The prevailing morality in the "animal" and to an extraordinarily great extent also in the terrestrial human being is still based on the killing principle or "every man for himself", that is, the absolute opposite of neighbourly love. Inasmuch as the reactions engendered by the animal nature, which leave the being in darkness, unhappiness and suffering or "hell", have been extricated by our cosmic analyses from the domain of "belief" and established as scientific fact, we no longer need to touch further upon the details of this morality. What we still have to do, however, is to provide the final, concluding analyses of the primordial force or divine cause that brings about this shift from "animal" to "human being", this eternal principle that allows the I or the divine something in the beings to become alternately one with a dark morality or an imperfect experience of life and a light morality and the ensuing perfect experience of life. We have already provided preparatory analyses of this primordial principle and have expressed it as the "highest fire". It therefore remains for us to manifest in Livets Bog the main analysis of this divine highest principle, and will therefore in the next volume of this book, as well as in other places, through symbols and text, devote ourselves to this aspect of the analysis of eternal life. In the present volume we have just enough space left to provide an overview, in the form of a symbol, of the presence of the very "principle of paradise and of hell" in all the six zones or kingdoms of the spiral.
      And by planting this overview, among other things, in the consciousness of the present reader, we have given him the intellectual insight into the science of neighbourly love or the very highest standard of morality in the world plan that he will have unshakably confirmed when we in the next volume draw aside the last great veil from the mystery of life and allow him to see into the all-penetrating highest fire of the eternal Father Himself, this Godhead's eternal body of fire with which He controls worlds, suns and galaxies, with which He initiates beings and makes the universe one with love.
