489. As all substances or all matter in existence and thereby everything accessible for sensing, in reality or in its cosmic analysis constitutes the mentality of the Godhead, the Godhead's thoughts or the proclamation of His wishes and wisdom, then everything that happens in life or existence is identical with "God's own personal language".
      In order to understand another being one must understand its language. In the same way one must understand also the "language" of the Godhead in order to realize His wishes and thoughts. And as "Cosmic chemistry" in "Livets Bog" is based upon showing substances' identity with a mental expression which is precisely the "language" of the Godhead, then that same chemistry thus becomes identical with a science which constitutes instruction in that "language". "Cosmic chemistry" is thus a "language lesson". It is giving humanity knowledge of the actual meaning behind the reaction of substances, that is the words and sentences of that divine language.
      It is little wonder, then, that as one gradually becomes familiar with the various "words" and "sentences", and comes to know the special methods and principles of that "language", that its Author becomes ever more real for one and it becomes correspondingly easier to understand His particular mentality and approach to oneself or to one's I. The perfection of this understanding or correspondence, is the provisional goal of terrestrial mankind.
