1003. The fact that these three "X's" constitute an absolutely indivisible unit – in that they appear as three analyses of the same phenomenon, namely, the eternal "something that is", and this "something" therefore becomes a "trinity" – is actually what we have already repeatedly analysed in depth here in "Livets Bog". The fact that this "trinity" constitutes the overall cosmic structure of the "living being" and the fact that it would be totally impossible for it to manifest without this structure are also analyses that the readers have long been acquainted with. We shall therefore not dwell on these here but just point out that besides being the living being's cosmic and eternal structure, they are at the same time a living and equally unshakable image of the structure of the universe itself. This constitutes, as we have also previously pointed out, a "something that is". As "something" cannot come from "nothing", this "something" that constitutes the universe has therefore existed eternally. As it comprises everything that exists, there is nothing with which it can be compared. And as it cannot be compared with anything, it cannot have any analysis whatsoever apart from the one given above, namely, "something that is". And we must also express this nameless "something that is" as "X". As this "X" has an ability to create, which we know to be a fact through the great creative process we call "Nature", and this ability to create – just as in the individual or the living being – has to have been eternal, since all its stronger or less strong manifestations can be only temporal phenomena or local details in its appearance, they cannot be legitimate analyses of its eternal nature. This ability to create, besides being "something that is", is by nature thereby nameless, which is why we have also had to express it as "X2". But as the eternal "something" that comprises the universe has eternally had an ability to create, a result of this has also existed eternally. This eternal result is thus "Nature" with all its changing kinds of movement and processes of transformation, all its forms and organisms. As each of these details can constitute only a temporal or provisional phenomenon in the eternal existence of the universe or the totality, absolutely none of these details can constitute a legitimate expression or an absolute analysis of the eternal manifestation of the totality itself. The manifestation of this totality will therefore also be nameless, apart from being a "something that is". And we also have to express this as "X3".
      The universe reveals itself as having exactly the same analysis as the living being. It has the same three "X's", the first of which, just as in the case of the living being, constitutes "that which creates", which is in turn the same as the "I". The second "X" is the "ability to create", which is also the same as the ability to experience or manifest, while the third "X" constitutes "that which is created", in other words the organism with its ever-changing processes of transformation.
