380. With regard to the organisms or bodies of beings in the "C spiral's" "kingdom of wisdom" and "divine world", these are also of a directly dissolvable nature all according to their owners' mental faculties and thought-concentration. But what of the micro-individuals in these beings' organisms? These organisms are, of course, identical with the globes or worlds in which the "D spiral's" highest beings have their abode.
      It has already been explained that when these beings find themselves in this part of the spiral they are liberated from matter because it obeys thought directly. Consequently each individual being constitutes its own "centre of gravity". While the foundation, or the "fixed" point, for beings in the physical world constitutes solid or heavy matter, in the "divine world" the basis or foundation of the beings' manifestation consists solely of their highest "Self". Beings in the physical world know nothing whatsoever about this "highest Self". An animal, at its initial stage of development, is conscious only of the world around it. And even among terrestrial people there is still a high degree of total ignorance about the life of beings which exists outside earthly "day-consciousness". The deepest and highest nature of living beings is a mystery. Matter and form, and all the combinations of what is physically visible, audible and tangible, is supremely dominant. Whatever cannot be weighed or measured and whatever has no physical weight or solidity, is unreal for beings in the spiral's second zone. The beings here live, think, act, cry and laugh; they arrange their affairs, marry each other, love and hate. Life is experienced without anyone knowing what it is that is experiencing that life. Any factors that are not based on figures, time and space are considered "unscientific' and at most are able to exist only as "dogmatic faith". Here the beings' knowledge about existence consists solely of knowledge about matter, and matter alone – it is all about substance, ad infinitum. Everything is buried in matter; also the living beings' knowledge about their own high identity – far superior to any kind of matter – as immortal sons of God. They imagine themselves to be identical to their physical body, that is to say, they believe themselves to consist of a certain accumulation of physical substance and they believe it is that which does the thinking and acting. Although this is exactly the opposite of actual fact, and of the experiences they meet on their way, they still conclude that it is actually matter, or substance, which does the creating. This has the actual consequence that it is the "created thing" which creates the "creator". Again, the extreme consequence would be that everything "creates itself". But any concept, or any science, that is based on this exact opposite of reality or the absolute, is not science, it is total "superstition" revealing the fact that terrestrial man and all other beings in the animal kingdom are the furthest of all away from reality and hence from the truth and from the Godhead. They do not know who they are. They experience only that which is matter. They remain outside reality. They live in a "world of shadows". We are here in the "realm of death" and experience a form of existence which is the absolute opposite of life in the "divine kingdom". There one is aware of the most profound details in existence. Life is not a mystery. There every material form is experienced and recognized for what it is, namely, thought-material for the I's cosmic chemistry, that is, the process by which it brings about its manifestation, makes itself visible and through which it fulfils its wishes and desires. Consequently these beings cannot, as in the physical world, be led to believe in such an inconsistency that it is matter – the "lifeless" – that creates the "living". In the divine world one experiences directly that it is the "living", that is to say, the I and its "super-consciousness" which in actual fact constitutes the solid foundation for the whole of existence and therefore also for matter itself. As mentioned previously, in the "divine world" and in the other intellectual areas of the spiral, everything which here in the physical world is felt as a living being's innermost core – his consciousness – has become external and visible and has become his supporting, firm foundation.
