In addition to the climates of "feeling" and "intelligence" – which correspondingly constitute the thought-manifestations of "people of feeling" and "people of intelligence" – there is also in the terrestrial zone a series of thought-manifestations from the above-mentioned beings who are richly experienced and which likewise will bring about a thought-climate.
This will gradually come to control the whole of mankind and thereby liberate it from the animal condition, from war, injury and suffering; and instead of the present death-promoting discord, they will permeate the future being with the illuminating radiance of "lasting peace".
And according to how terrestrial man becomes enriched by experiences of suffering and can begin to turn his intelligence to the service of compassion, humane qualities and tolerance, that is, in the service of true neighbourly love, he will contribute to the propagation, maintenance and building of the new thought-climate of world-salvation.
And as the foundation of this thought-climate, as shown here, is based on the consequences of a wealth of experiences from earlier zones of suffering on battlefields and hunting terrain, in prisons and torture-chambers, in dramas bathed in blood, hate and revenge, in death-bringing religious dissention, in struggles for gold or material goods, in fights for position, "honour" and power, in quarrels with marriage partners, mistresses and suitors, or in psychological conflicts in those unhappy zones where the path of the sexual poles has its tribulations, as well as experiences from culminating inspirations of light along the same journey of the sexes into the divine Father's eternal radiance – then we must be compelled to realize that only through this collection of memories in our consciousness can the true understanding of life begin.
And consequently we have to assess the thought-climate of those particular beings as the only genuinely "intellectual" one.
Therefore this thought-climate will be expressed as the "climate of intellectuality".
