698. Having acknowledged these three "X's", the living being's eternal existence is established as a fact. We see that its main analysis is composed of three unshakable, eternal principles, each of which is completely above any temporal state whatsoever or anything at all that comes under the term "created things". The living being is not a "human being", an "animal", a "plant" or anything else that is temporal; such temporal phenomena are temporary or short-lived tools of the consciousness and expressions of creation, subordinate to the living being's combining of thoughts and exercising of will, and come into being and pass away according to respectively the hunger and satiation in its consciousness. Everything about the living being that is visible, everything that we can witness in the being, is not the being itself, but its products. And only through these products can one indirectly sense the "something" itself that exists eternally behind the will, the thought and the manifestation. The living being thus constitutes an eternal principle that can be expressed as three analyses: a "something that is", "this something's creative ability" and "the result of this creative ability". As each of these three analyses is inextricably bound to the other two and, together with these, constitutes the unit that appears as the "living being", this same being's eternal and unshakable basic analysis will be that it constitutes a "triune principle". None of these three principles can be separated from the other two, since they are each eternal realities, whose analysis is ultimately rooted in the ineradicable "something that is". This confirmation of the living being's immortality or sovereign eternal existence in the form of the "triune principle" is the eighth basic answer to the mystery of life and is expressed in the symbol's star field no. 8 in the form of a triangle.
