230.	Terrestrial science is about to pass into a spiritual life and a "thought life". Qualifications for becoming an authority in the area of spiritual research
231.	The researcher moving slowly away from the material plane. Terrestrial science as an instrument in the service of the dark morality. Terrestrial mankind's consciousness as a seed for the unfolding of genius in the animal consciousness. The cause of the title of "human being". The animal genius has to be lived through before the transformation of animal to real human being can accelerate
232.	The individual evolves through suffering and pain to a transfigured existence. Science becomes more and more difficult to prove for those people who can only sense on the material plane. There is no way to reach higher knowledge and learning or to "see" God except through refinement of the spiritual life
233.	There is no "fixed point" in the physical world. All material or physical realities are identical with movement or transformation. It is impossible to sense the same thing twice
234.	A picture of the universe recognized on the basis of movement is unrealistic
235.	Examples of the unreality of physical movements or manifestations. The limits of the physical world or time and space. A "something" which "experiences" despite the limits of time and space
236.	Another dimension of sensing outside the limits of time and space. Sensing in time and space is dependent on the individual's physical body
237.	The limits of the physical world are not found in distance but in condition. The individual's sensing beyond the limits of the physical world. Terrestrial man both as a physical and a spiritual being
238.	"Philosophy" as the beginning of spiritual science. The spiritual bodies and the Great Birth. When the individual assumes that physical realities are "fixed points". When the individual's concept of God does not appear on the basis of "fixed points". The illusory concept of God as the way to the real Godhead
239.	Just as the individual cannot experience the real sight of God in temporal values, neither can he experience his own cosmic identity by such values
240.	Living beings as identical with "fixed points" behind movement
241.	The individual's concept of living beings while he is able only to sense movement
242.	The individual's identity as an "eternal living being" becomes a fact and is experienced as the first part of the Great Birth
243.	Living beings as "fixed points" for the measurement of movement. The final results of movement do not exist as "speed" but "purpose"
244.	No absolute value whatsoever exists on the physical plane. Terrestrial mankind begins to be able to sense the intentions behind movements within the area of fellow beings of its own or related species but cannot experience the intentions behind the cosmic powers, the movements of planets, natural forces and the forces of fate, and must therefore be satisfied with "relative" values. Beyond the Great Birth the individual experiences all "fixed points" and thereby absolute values and the identity of living beings as "sons of God" and, in beginning to experience life in reality he becomes a "real human being" united with the Father

256.	"Gravity energy" and the "animal kingdom"
257.	"Feeling energy" and the "human kingdom"
258.	"Intelligence energy" and the "kingdom of wisdom"
259.	"Intuition energy". "Cosmic consciousness". The "Godhead's own viewpoint". The "divine world"
260.	The "outer world" and the "inner world". "Memory energy". The "mineral kingdom" or "kingdom of bliss"
261.	The basic energies. The planes of existence and the colours of the solar spectrum

	Symbol No. 6 The Eternal Godhead and Living Beings' Capacities for Sensing
262.	The planes of existence, living beings and their capacities for sensing are shown on the symbol
263.	The universe identical with nourishment for the capacities of sensing of living beings. Living beings' knowledge dependent upon the basic energies
264.	The basic energies as conditional factors in sensing. Every kind of sensing identical with an experience of the Godhead, this experience constituting the highest analysis of the basic energies
265.	The "Divine Something" and the basic energies expressed in the symbol. The Godhead as a sun in relation to the basic energies which eternally connects living beings with life

	Chapter 8 Evolution
266.	Living beings' experience of life sensed as transformation or evolution
267.	Living beings' age, standard of development and manifestation as a matter of cosmic perspective not an expression of their eternal existence
268.	Living beings and the ladder of evolution
269.	Living beings who differ so much from terrestrial human forms of life that senses other than physical ones are needed in order to experience them. Natural forces, or all forms of movement as identical with functions in a living being's organism
270.	The universe, the milky way, the solar system and the Earth as constituting enormous organisms inside which our organs or bodily structures live and move
271.	Beings who elude terrestrial sight. The aggregate energy of the universe is a combination of the bodily structures of living beings. Those realities which make the universe appear as a "ladder of evolution"
272.	Everything as an expression of life. It proves necessary for the seeker of Truth to obtain a comprehensive view of his own and his fellow beings' relationship to and position in evolution, or the living being's eternal journey towards Light

	Symbol No. 7 The Organization of Universal Energies or the Ladder of Evolution
273.	The middle row of steps or "zones of basic energy"
274.	The violet steps. World beings, fellow beings and matter beings. Spiral zones
275.	The principle of perspective or eternal evolution as one of the basic cornerstones on which rests our daily impression of existing
276.	Character zones
277.	All the energy of the universe in the form of a ladder of evolution as the fundamental basis for "Life's Road"

	Symbol No. 8 Life's Road - Cosmic Evolutionary Lines
278.	Stages of evolution. Life and Life's Road
279.	Dissimilarity between living beings on the same step in evolution exists only in form, not in morality. Moral standard is measured according to the living beings' ability to love each other
280.	The individual's body subject to renewal. A living being's eternal existence as a changing experience of six different forms of life
281.	The physical body as terrestrial mankind's most evolved body. Terrestrial mankind and the physical world. Death. A superstition which shuts out the individual's recognition of his own immortality. The concept of "death" as an expression for that part of the individual's life which lies outside his physical body
282.	Terrestrial man's tendency to believe in life after death. "Material" and "spiritual" existence
283.	The individual's ability to form new bodies on the basis of experience material from earlier lives. The "happy" or "unhappy" nature of the individual's fate based upon his experiences. The individual's ability to discipline his behaviour as the conditioning factor in his ability to form normal bodies. The reason for discussing these subjects here
284.	Two absolutely identical living beings is an impossibility. Only the moral standard indicates which living beings stand on the same step in evolution. Every living being's present terrestrial existence is a result of a previous existence on other globes. The origin of the cosmic evolutionary lines and their appearance as the source of the origin of the species,and the basis for the varieties of appearance in existence, regarding variations in bodies and forms of experience of life
285.	Mammals, insects and birds as expressions for cosmic evolutionary lines that cross the Earth, and consideration of the equality in evolution between mammals and insects
286.	Plants will not become animals with the same animal structure as we now see, nor will animals become human beings with the same form as humans now have. Bodily forms perish, or change, but the moral standard will be the same eternally for each step in evolution
287.	The cosmic lines. The "Divine Creative Principle" and the "Divine Something" expressed on the symbol
288.	All the cosmic basic energies together cause all living beings to be "cosmic travellers"; they appear as an unfailing source of divine wisdom and become the fundamental releasing element for love, joy and bliss
