1000. Concerning the living being, it can, as the readers already know, exist only as a trinity, which is in full accordance with what we have described here.The living being thus cannot avoid constituting a "something".As this "something" experiences and creates manifestation or "movement", it cannot by its very nature be "movement" and must therefore, as we have seen, constitute the absolute "fixed point" that is essential for the formation of perspective and hence for cosmic perception.But as it is not "movement", it is eternally unchangeable.And as it is not itself identical with any manifestation whatsoever, being, on the contrary, the creator of manifestation, it cannot in itself have any analysis, for it is impossible to say anything at all about this "something" that would not be an analysis of what it has created.If we were to say it is "big" or "small", if we were to say it is "loving" or "unloving", "beautiful" or less "beautiful" etc., all these expressions describe merely phenomena that this "something" has produced.These statements or analyses do not become expressions of this "something" itself; they are, on the contrary, descriptions of what this "something" has created.The only thing that we can therefore say about this "something" is that it constitutes "something that is".But a "something that is" that can have no analysis can be described as only a nameless "something", and on these grounds we have therefore in "Livets Bog" expressed it as "X1".As this "X" confirms its identity not only through its steadfastness as the absolute "fixed point" that registers all movement, but also through its identity as the experiencing and creating "something" without which everything would be tantamount to an eternal "nothing", we will here express this "X1" as "life substance no. 61".
