388. Through this a new world now begins to cast its shadow into the "divine world". Just as the "true human kingdom" begins to overshadow the "animal kingdom", in the same way, the "kingdom of bliss" overshadows the highest world of the spiral. After the culmination of "intuition-energy", "memory-energy" begins to assert itself to an increasingly strong degree. It is a matter of course that here, where "intuition-energy" culminates and "memory-energy" is approaching culmination, conscious life is far richer and more satisfactory than in any other area of the spiral. At this point we are actually at the culmination of life-experience. The fact of being able to go backwards and forwards in previously experienced centuries of time is indeed a mental state completely unknown in the zone of terrestrial man. This kind of experience will, to a great extent, characterize communication among divine beings, though not, so to speak, in their "daily life" – for there are no "days" or "nights" as we know them here on Earth – but in their eternal "now". The above-mentioned faculty to experience in this way actually has the effect of enabling them to relive the "past" in the present. One must also take into consideration that all the inhabitants of the divine sphere are beings who have experienced their former spiral-existences on greatly differing worlds or globes and have come from solar systems and galaxies from all corners of the Universe so they represent correspondingly highly varied "cosmic lines". (See Livets Bog 1 Symbol No. 8.). At the same time they can relive the events of these cosmic lines in the "now", and – as matter obeys thought in the divine sphere – make those events visible in animate form to fellow beings. Perhaps with all this considered, it is easier to understand how infinitely abundant is the experience of life in God's own sphere.
      In this way it is not merely events met within areas of one's own cosmic line or previous passage through underlying kingdoms or worlds, but also details from fellow beings' "cosmic lines" and their earlier passages through entirely different globes, worlds and spheres, which are now in our divine existence revealed to us in the form of detailed "gold-copies".
      Indeed, being in God's own sphere is never uninteresting, whether one is a "guest" or a "natural inhabitant". In colours of blazing glory, fellow beings reveal here the details and the immeasurable multiplicity of the worlds and globes they have experienced. Hitherto unknown forms of minerals, plants and animals, human organisms and mental creations in harmony and perfection are made manifest in radiantly detailed phenomena in colour and tone within the beings' divine auras in conformity with the strength of their will and their wish to "caress" their neighbour.
      One must remember that a "caress' here is not a "pat on the cheek" or a "word of comfort" or other gestures of sympathy, for such things are not necessary in God's own domain. There is no one to be "consoled" here, for there is nothing which creates sorrow; there is no need for pity because there does not occur even the slightest hint of anything approaching misfortune or suffering. Every being here is in divine mental balance and exists only in order to fulfil exactly the divine clarity and intellectual perfection of his creative power as a gift for his "neighbour". Everything here is a superlative fulfilment of the eternal laws of creation which again, taken all together, fulfil the law of existence, that is, "thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself", for, to fulfil the laws of creation absolutely is indeed the same as total perfection. Such a perfection is the same as "total goodness". But this can only exist as identical with "total love". As such love constitutes exactly that very culmination of the beings' mutual sympathy, then the atmosphere here can only resound with a never-ending song of praise and gladness for the "neighbour's" existence which becomes an eternal inspiration for the individual to serve, support and maintain the happiness of that "neighbour" unselfishly with all the strength of his creative ability.
