119. But as the energies from the Divine Creative Principle's light radiation have long ago become a dominating factor in terrestrial mankind's evolution and thus made it a reality that mankind is developing from the animal kingdom to the human kingdom, and not the opposite, and that this development can undoubtedly take place only on the basis of the fulfilment of the great commandment: "Love one another", and again, that this fulfilment - according to the divine world plan concerning terrestrial mankind - can only be released in the form of the mentioned points, then the expansion of these points together with the consequent creation of a divine World Kingdom will also be manifested as an absolute reality.
The important events taking place all over the world in the present century should be defined as a transformation of terrestrial mankind's twilight state into a brilliant, clear existence; they are the animal kingdom's death struggle in terrestrial mankind's body of society; they are the beginning of the cosmic human kingdom's resurrection on Earth. That these great events could not - and will not - take place without bloodshed is quite natural while they still remain identical with a fight which is brought about within that area where hate, revenge and self-defence are at war with slavery, hoarding and avarice. A battlefield expressing the interactions of such energies can only produce corpses. But from these corpses the world will arise in a new, transfigured appearance, and the Earth will become a vibration of reason and love, a harmony of intuition and bliss.
