80. This fight of terrestrial mankind to unite "right" with "might" has been taking place every since the Divine Creative Principle's light radiation began to influence the Globe, and, caused by the present experiences of mankind and the new world impulse, it will now take place in a quick process of change and at a speed many times faster than hitherto.
      This fight, then, has developed from the animal instinct of self-preservation with its condition: "Every man for himself" and on the basis of the fact that within the animal kingdom no other protective principle exists. In the animal principle of self-preservation there is, as mentioned above, no sense of rightness. "Might" alone dominates. And those living beings who were most highly qualified to forward the said principle necessarily had to conquer and become masters of the other living beings in the animal kingdom. These former beings became the founders of the present terrestrial human community. They became its "Adam" and "Eve". And as they did not yet know any difference between "good" and "evil", but were inspired wholly by the single idea, or instinct: "Every man for himself", and this again, in the evolutionary zone in question, was in fact the law of existence which they were not yet sufficiently developed to be able to break, they lived a "life of paradise", which means, in true contact and harmony with their own kingdom. And, as this kingdom was the true animal kingdom it became a "Garden of Paradise" for all those living beings.
