Livets Bog, vol. 2
A resume of foregoing analyses.
555. In our investigation of "cosmic chemistry", we reached that very highest "substance" – "primordial desire". And "primordial desire" led us on to an appreciation of the illusory state of the world perceptible to the senses and to the necessity of this condition if life is to exist at all. Next we came to realize the "principle of perspective" or that reality through which illusions arise. We saw that the cosmic analysis of this principle was "X2" and "X3", and that the ultimate analysis arising from this was identical to "the divine something". And with this, we reached the very peak of all analysis. From now on all further analysing will be undertaken not above, but below the level of the faculty of sensory perception and will consist of analyses or details of a "created" nature and will thus be relative. In this part of the series of analyses there will be no lack of the more intricate details about the nature of the divine. Here the principle of perspective will appear in radiant detail as we shall see when we return to this later on in "Livets Bog". Here thought-climates, consciousness and creation will present themselves in a shining stream of divine creative power, gladness and joy. Here the world of illusions will be experienced as a truly radiant culmination of love. So now, as mentioned above, after our sojourn beyond the faculty of sensory perception, we shall return to the world of the senses, where illusions become a kind of reality. From here we see that the "principle of perspective" constitutes the "creative faculty" and "that which is created". And from here we shall realize that the "creative faculty" is rooted in a "fate-element" in which are stored all the living being's talent kernels.
