  33.68  The beginning of the emergence of neighbourly love. Figure no. 14
This figure symbolises the beginning of the emergence of neighbourly love in the unfinished human being. We see how it develops in harmony with the being's double-poled state, and reaches perfection in period of evolution no. 31. This development of love through suffering and the transformation of the one-poled state into the two-poled state is the liberation or salvation of mankind from all so-called "evil". In their ignorance people persecute, mock and deride this universal love in those people in whom it is so far advanced that it raises them above the one-poled state and enables them to love their neighbour more or less as themselves, regardless of sex. This love seeks not its own. This love makes its originator give rather than receive. This love makes its originator forgive not merely seven times but seventy times seven times. This love is the absolutely only thing that can totally dissolve war, hatred and persecution, or everything that exists within the concept of "evil". This love is one with God's universal love and the ensuing eternal light that vibrates hidden or visibly within every single existing living being. This light makes all darkness retreat and makes the being appear in God's image after his likeness. God gives the being this divine state of light through its experience of darkness. The life of the son has here become one with the life of the Godhead, and the son feels himself at one with the father and identical with eternity and infinity.
