82. But when, as a result of the dawning of the Divine Creative Principle's light radiation, people's habitual way of life and instinct of self-preservation became more and more antagonistic to their changing state of mentality and became a greater and greater "Fall", their ability to forward or fulfil the animal condition of life began to degenerate. And through this degeneration arose their real sufferings. The Earth had been "accursed", so to speak. And as the transformed beings now aimed at an ideal different from the animal way of life, there arose disharmony between the manifestations of the animal and the manifestations of the dawning human being. There was: "Enmity between the seed of the serpent and the seed of the woman", and this "enmity" will finally make the individual: "Crush the head of the serpent" or gain complete mastery over the animal consciousness in himself, but thereby he will himself: "Get his heel crushed", which means that this mastery cannot possibly come about without pain and suffering. Degeneration takes the form of "crushing" his animal faculties or that "foot" which bore him to the peak - or highest form of genius - of the animal kingdom, fulfilling its supreme ideals of greatness. And, because of this, terrestrial man, considered as an animal, already finds himself "limping". He is not an animal in the purest sense, but he is not a finished human being either. He is a wounded refugee between two kingdoms. At present he finds himself in a "no-man"s land". He is a homeless son of God.
