19. Having explained the tolerance and sympathy that will be shown to every reader's or investigator's attitude towards Livets Bog from the Source whence this book has emanated, all that is left for me now is to give a short survey of my own relationship to it and to the core of the matter in its content, which is herewith expressed in the following lines:
For terrestrial mankind's present dawning level of cosmic consciousness, Livets Bog constitutes an apt and complete description of the universe, life or existence, transformed down from that zone in evolution where all super-physical or spiritual realities do not exist as mysticism or utopias, but on the contrary, manifest themselves in fullest measure as constituting the fundamental, conscious experiences and details of daily life in the way that I, through my own cosmic set of sensory organs - developed and regulated by love, intelligence and intuition - have been able to experience it.
In the above manner life has shown itself to me as a state of radiant light and perfection as well as revealing living beings' identity as
"Sons of God".
It has further shown me that love is the most powerful factor in all manifestation, in that
to be a joy and blessing for everything with which one comes into contact is the only way for the individual to throw light on
himself, on his divine Father and on the existing world order.
At the same time it is
the only thing that can liberate or lead him away from everything known under the concept of "pain", and finally that
every individual's fate is built up from the effects of which he himself is the cause.
And so I have felt that by revealing my condition of consciousness in the form of pictures, text, speech and my way of life, I can be of use as
a helping hand to all those who are in search of
the Truth, the Father or the Godhead, and be of use to everything with which the Father has surrounded me.
The fundamental usefulness in this may, amongst other things, be emphasized thus - that Livets Bog, on account of the universal outlook it represents, exists as constituting in itself
the one and only great defence for the reader in the face of all those who might happen to appear as his critics.
The reader's main purpose, then, is to inspire his critics to learn to love him in such a way that they will be kind and considerate towards him, and at the same time he must show them that
every time they forgive him, however more or less serious the annoyance he may have caused them,
they free themselves from one of the sandbags, the weight of which in the form of
"non-forgiveness" keeps them tied to the lower and less developed planes of existence, and from where, to the same degree as
these sandbags have been released, they can, more and more freely and unhindered, lift themselves up to lighter and happier planes and regions of existence before the eternal throne.
This will show them that the outcome is not a beautiful dream but
a true reality in daily existence all around them; it will teach the reader's critics to understand that he, just like themselves and all other existing beings, works in
the same garden, and that, as I have already pointed out, there is only
one God and one religion, the living illustrating doctrines of which every single moment
are being demonstrated to every individual son of God by a fatherly communication, via the surroundings adapted to his temporary level of evolution.
It will make it clear as well that this one God and this one religion comprises and constitutes all that exists and that all else in life under the concepts of "religions" are but
echoes or clusters of rays from this one all-embracing living religion's immense ocean of light.
As the Father has thus permitted
my personal experience, state of consciousness and the course of events in my life, to be of such a nature that its transcription in the form of Livets Bog has become identical with a disclosure of all living beings' identity as
"sons of God", simultaneously uncovering the close mutual relationship between all religions like clusters of rays from one and the same sea of light and thereby constituting a further
defence of all living beings, He has thereby in a wonderful way made Livets Bog
a tool for the demonstration and the removal of the last remnant of that form of ignorance which leads to intolerance and its companion, "suffering".
For ignorance is in fact
the true cause of everything known to the world as "evil".
Where ignorance has been removed the so-called "evil" ceases to exist.
Everything which falls under the term "evil" is thus identical with
the effects of ignorance, and consequently such effects cannot exist without at the same time representing the motivating factor behind all forms of the question - "Why?" or the cry - "More knowledge!" which from the thousandfold legions of human beings is directed towards
the Eternal Light.
And so the Father, precisely by making Livets Bog the above-mentioned tool, has made it a reflection of His own
inexhaustible principle of wisdom casting it back in response to the said cry.
He has thus allowed
the "Eternal Truth" to appear in
a new incarnation so that it can continue to shine upon and give out warmth over the world in everlasting youthful beauty, power and radiance.
