Chapter 7
The terrestrial human being is still not a fully developed human being
It is this lack of "Christianity" that today influences the fate of all terrestrial human beings.
As we have already mentioned, true Christianity is the same as true neighbourly love, just as true neighbourly love is "the fulfilment of all the laws".
What then is "the fulfilment of all the laws"?
In this connection "the fulfilment of all the laws" is the same as the fulfilment or the observance of all those conditions necessary for a human being to really experience being a "human being".
Can a "human being" then live and exist without experiencing a truly "human" existence?
No, the perfect or completely developed human being of course cannot live without his life being the experience of true "human" existence, but the unfinished human being, which means "the terrestrial human being", still lives his daily life without ever having experienced true "human" existence.
He has to date reached only as far as acquiring the physical organism designed to be the dwelling or instrument for the truly "human" mentality.
And it is because he now possesses such an organism that he is today called "a human being".
But not even particularly thorough research is needed to see that the being in the terrestrial human organism has so much in common with the animal or is so like the animal in his mental attitude to his fellow beings that, to a great extent, there exists no difference whatsoever between the terrestrial "human being" and "the animal".
In all situations where the terrestrial human being gets angry, hateful or vindictive and makes war, in all situation where he elbows his way forward at the expense of others, as well as in all situations where he lies, cheats and steals, his consciousness is completely identical with that of the animal.
