552. In our current journey through "cosmic chemistry", we have taken a short detour to the area lying beyond the faculty of sensing and thereby behind substances, chemicals and thought-climates, i.e. all the cosmic-chemical materials. That the analysis here could be so simple and easy so all that remained was the indestructible principle or the eternal "something", which, in connection with thought-climates, appears as "a living being", is indeed a surety that our analysis has been correct. If anything else had emerged at this point, if a wealth of detail had been revealed, it would only have proved that we had not yet moved beyond the sensing and creating faculties, but were still perceiving and researching merely in the world of illusions, still considering this as the absolute reality, thus entailing that the immortality of the living being, or its identity as an "eternal something that is" could still be nothing more than a fantastic utopia, whose reality would still have remained outside the clear light of factual knowledge and so, at most, could only be a question of belief. Now, on the contrary, the mystery of life has been disclosed. With the present analyses from the area behind the faculty of sensing, the highest cosmic factors will be of benefit to the truly mature, enquiring reader or investigator. He or she thus has the benefit of knowledge and qualification which, earlier in the history of this Earth, was accessible only to the very highest of initiated beings, that is to say beings who, from perfect personal insight alone, experienced the revelation of the mystery of existence, and in their own awake day-consciousness met with their own identity as immortal.
