878. As regards the above, one must constantly bear in mind that the Christian clergy or authorities represent to an overwhelming degree those very beings whose abilities to imagine and comprehend are one hundred per cent concealed behind the "forgiveness of sins" and the associated presumably "spiritual" or non-physical "kingdom of heaven".
For them, the mystery of life is still accessible only as formulas and sacraments that fit with their consciousness, and not as clear facts or science.
For them "grace" and the "forgiveness of sins" are the only comprehensible way to the Godhead.
But in the case of the millions and millions of beings whose developed intellectual facilities prevent them from "believing", their pangs of conscience cannot be removed through sacraments or the "forgiveness of sins", just as their intense hunger for justice cannot be satisfied through proclamations about a "grace" that became possible only through an innocent being's blood sacrifice or crucifixion.
They find no joy or satisfaction and far less any justice or love in another being being subjected to shameful and cruel suffering for the imperfections and excesses that they themselves have committed.
They know that a justice in the judicial system of everyday life that is built on such a foundation would make it impossible for any perfect culture to be established or to exist.
They know that such a form of justice would mean that an inordinately large number of innocent, loving beings, on account of their neighbourly love or their urge to offer themselves as a sacrifice, would voluntarily do time in prison so that their guilty and unloving relatives could go free.
And life would then continue to be characterised by these beings' continuing excesses and terror.
Experiencing that the divine world order rests on entirely different principles that are the culmination of justice and love is the only thing that can give them satisfaction and thereby peace or salvation in their minds.
And thanks to the world redeemer's all-embracing cosmic insight into the mystery of life, the major part of his mission and presence on Earth became devoted to these souls who were so hungry for justice.
It was to them that his eternal statements, precepts and ideals were directly beamed, and it was to them that he promised that the "Helper, the Holy Spirit" would come and reveal even more of the Godhead's shining consciousness, methods of creation and culminating love.
Did he not say: "Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled"?
And did he not realise that this satiation could not be released merely through the "forgiveness of sins", which certainly brings peace but is devoid of wisdom?
Why else should he promise that the "Helper, the Holy Spirit" would come to teach them all the things they were unable to receive through him at that time?
