What we saw in the analysis of the development of talents
747. Through our analyses of the development of talents, we saw how purely practical life is connected to the great answers as a natural reality, and is thereby a highest expression of an ingenious, divine creative power, displaying a culmination of justice and love.And in this analysis of the formation of talents we saw how the being's current life and fate was a perfect, continuing experience of life, formed by the being's actions, wishes and longings in a former life.And in addition, we saw in this analysis how the being in the same way with its present actions, wishes and longings is already beginning to shape and set its stamp on its future fate in future lives.We saw that the fact that the beings appeared on steps or were subject to evolution was not in order to create happier conditions for "future" beings, but was solely in order to create bright and more perfect conditions for the present beings themselves in their "own" existence in future lives.But it thereby became one hundred per cent crystal clear or obvious that the issue of the beings' fate is in a culminating contact with the justice or love whereby Nature in all other phenomena reveals its might.We saw that the irresistible longing that exists in every being for a higher position with regard to consciousness or a more perfect existence has thereby been given a meaning, since this longing can thereby be satisfied, and it is satisfied.The being that has wished for such a position and has worked and trained or practised with this satisfaction in view cannot fail to experience this satisfaction, even though its present physical organism were to perish.
