Impulses which are suitable for microcosmic and macrocosmic beings. Some first principles for the seekers of Truth
54. As well as the above-mentioned world impulses, there are other forms of impulses from the Creative Principle which are suitable for "living beings" which - with their appearance in microcosmic or macrocosmic forms - lie respectively below or above the human sphere of consciousness. The life and existence of such beings must naturally seem quite fantastic and incomprehensible compared with the ordinary idea of "living beings" held by people on Earth. Therefore, in the Introduction, we will not go into the extensive material necessary to elucidate these factors but must be content to refer to the passages on "cosmic world analyses" in Livets Bog. But in order to give the student of this book a first impression of the extension and huge dimensions in which we here witness the Creative Principle, we must mention that some of the macrocosmic beings come to light for us in the form of what we call "globes", "solar systems" and "milky ways", and that the recognition of the identity of these realities as "living beings" will be seen as some of the first absolute principles for the cosmic seeker of Truth.
