913. We have thus seen that the transformation of the Earth from a fiery state to its present stage reveals a logical plan. We have seen that at present this plan has the aim of making the Earth a world for animal living beings. And concerning the fulfilment of this purpose, we have also seen that in certain respects the plan has advanced so far that even now there is such an abundance of vital resources or possibilities for the manifestation of this life-form that these resources far exceed what is needed for the amount of animal life at present on Earth. At the same time, we have also seen that this life, which in its most advanced or developed form manifests as "terrestrial mankind", has not yet reached its perfection. This becomes evident through mankind's still widespread inability to manage these vital resources and an inability to administer all that the Earth provides, sharing it naturally and logically among its individuals. Myriads of its beings are undergoing enormous suffering; they are ill and dying precisely because of their lack of access to the Earth's superabundant sources of life. That this is not the intended final aim of the great transformation of the Earth can be clearly seen, partly due to the superabundance or profusion of sources of life in proportion to the amount of life to be nourished, and partly due to the undoubted fact that mankind is rapidly developing its ability to create easier and better access to these sources of life. But as this ability is under development, it will be only a matter of time before access to these sources of life will be so widespread and perfect or fairly organised that not one single one of the human inhabitants of the Earth will any longer be deprived of his just share of the Earth's joy-giving resources and wealth of life, which he so much needs for his physical and mental health and his bodily and spiritual well-being.
