382. Therefore all physical beings without "cosmic consciousness" can have only an illusory notion of the true "fixed point" in existence. That which they consider to be the "fixed point" in existence, is in reality only those things which constitute a "fixed point" in relation to their physical bodies. And the knowledge of life possessed by such beings cannot be more than a knowledge of the relation between the matter forming their own physical bodies and the physical matter outside them. Their picture of the world or grasp of life, their morals and precepts cannot constitute anything more than a recognition of, and an incentive towards, conditions which are, or are thought to be, the most advantageous for upholding and preserving the situation of their physical bodies in relation to the surrounding physical matter. Therefore one perceives, senses and experiences only in weights and measures, time and space. One is only able to apprehend what can be expressed in figures. The I and its "super-consciousness" constitute an eternal reality. Consequently it cannot be expressed in "time". Nor can this same reality weigh anything, for "weight", from a cosmic viewpoint, is synonymous with the manifestation of will, therefore it cannot be expressed as being in "space" either. (All forms of falling are actually based – as mentioned before – on the will of the "globe's I" to maintain its materialized physical body – that is, the physical globe which terrestrial people have as their abode – in the same way as the inseparable interplay of cell-beings and organ-beings within a terrestrial person's physical body is based on that body's will to live transformed to an automatic function.) Consequently, as "weight" is a manifestation of will and thereby is the same as something caused "by" the I and "is" not the I itself, then it cannot constitute in any way an expression in gravity or weight of the I's own nature.
      As "weight" is thus a product of the I, the latter must have existed before what it has produced. But if the I has existed before the creation of "weight", then it cannot of itself "weigh" anything. And again, as the "weight" of a thing is the same as the spatial relationship between it and other physical things or matter, then the special nature of the I, as just stated, is quite beyond such space. Space is likewise a product of the I in its highest identity.
      In its highest manifestation the I has no kind of numerical analysis. An analysis of that kind can only be applied to that which the I has produced. There could not be any other analysis of the I but as the eternal creator – that is, the eternal cause of all things created – for anything that might come into the consciousness of the living being would, without any doubt, only be an analysis of that which the creator has produced. The creator itself is superior to any form of analysis. Only "the product" has come into being as a result of previous thought and can be verified by that thought. But as the creator is not a product of previous thought then it cannot be verified by any such thought. It is separate from "the created" by never itself having "come into being" but "has always been" throughout eternity. Every aim or purpose is a product of the creator but is not identical with it. In this way the supreme nature of the living being is shown to be completely inviolable and sacrosanct. Its totally divine and sacred superiority over all matter is now seen to be a fact.
