47. As we have mentioned before, the relationship of living beings to the Creative Principle's two radiations will be expressed in stages or grades. That particular grade which the single individual comes to represent from these radiations, constitutes that same individual's highest and finest expression of his spiritual standard. And so with regard to the two radiations, the above-mentioned principle gives a special cosmic halo around the individual; to this I have given the name "cosmic radiance". This radiance is accessible only to the most outstanding occult senses and can be perceived only from that plane of existence which here in Livets Bog is called the "divine world". One should not, therefore, confuse it with the ordinary clairvoyant vision of the "astral aura" also surrounding living beings which in reality is the screen behind which the cosmic radiance is hidden.
