Livets Bog, vol. 2
We have completed the analysis of the basic mental atmosphere of terrestrial mankind. Through the climate of intellectuality terrestrial man acquires "cosmic consciousness" and the mental atmosphere of the Earth becomes identical with the Holy Spirit. God's spirit shines everywhere upon the Earth's course throughout the space of the world.
638. And now, in establishing the existence of the above three thought-climates, we have reached the analysis of terrestrial man's basic mental atmosphere. How this atmosphere constitutes the absolutely vital element in terrestrial man's experience of life and becomes material for his cosmic chemistry or the creation of his fate, and how this same being consequently, by means of these three climates, can himself unlock the gates of Light and enter into that glory of the Father he once had before the terrestrial zone was evolved – all these are analyses which will be dealt with in the next chapter of "Livets Bog". And so to conclude the present important chapter of this book we will just indicate that on the strength of the harmony and balance which is brought about in the individual's consciousness by the third thought-climate, it becomes at the same time a channel for the spiral's fifth basic energy, that is the "energy of intuition" which gradually brings about that same individual's meeting with the "great birth" whereby he acquires "cosmic consciousness", becomes the master of life and is "one with the Father". But with that fifth energy's penetration into the new thought-climate, the latter becomes identical with the "Holy Spirit", which again is the highest form of sensory and creative existence – the very highest form of conscious life. It is itself the culmination of experience of absolute reality – indeed, it is the experience of the Godhead's own consciousness.
      This beginning of the new thought-climate is the same as a penetration of the most illuminating sunshine of highest intellectuality into terrestrial people's sphere of darkest clouds. It is the movement of the Divine Spirit over the "face of the waters", across continents and oceans. And there, where the spirit of God passes over the Earth, the shining blessing of peace permeates all things. And see! At the bidding of the Almighty, our globe continues its journey through the heavens, onwards among star- and sun-communities, casting the radiant wealth of God's spirit out over foreign worlds, planets and human populations. And everywhere on its journey in solar space its thought-climate will be as an experience of the Almighty's presence, it will be an experience of His eternal Spirit which ever shines, blazes and radiates throughout the Universe, the cosmos and life itself.
