995. So what is this untruth? When for instance Jesus states that "they that take the sword, shall perish by the sword", this statement is generally taken only literally, in the sense that the being in this situation is going to perish. But as the being contains the "something" that is the "experiencing fixed point", it cannot be this "something" that will perish. And why indeed should it perish? It is certainly not the stationary, motionless or unchangeable "something" in the being that there is anything the matter with. What has to be changed is the changeable, that is to say the "movement", and this is also expressed in the sentence when seen from the cosmic point of view. It is here that there is a demonstration of how this change of the "movement" can take place. When "movement 1" is brought into contact with "movement 2", there arises "movement 3". In no way whatsoever does it state that something will happen to the "fixed point" or the "experiencing something" in the being. It is therefore only "combinations of movements" and the effects of these in the form of new "combinations of movements" that are being referred to in the language or the previously mentioned words of the son of God. But if the "fixed point" or the "something that is" in the being cannot come to an end or be affected by "movement", neither can it "perish". It can therefore be only that which is not the "fixed point" in the being, in other words the "movement", that can "perish". And that which is "movement" in the being is the organism itself. What Christ meant in his statement can therefore be expressed, in its final or absolute form, as "they who take the sword (destroy organisms with the sword) will cause their own organisms to perish by the sword".
      As one can see, the divine statement now appears in a one hundred per cent unconcealed form; it is totally in accordance with the cosmic analysis of the situation or in harmony with the laws of life or with what can really take place. Whereas the divine statement in its concealed form expresses that it is the being or the "living something" that will perish in the situation under discussion, the same statement in its unconcealed form expresses that it is only the organism and thereby a certain form of "movement", a certain situation, that will "perish", which in turn means a mere change of "movement". The concealment thus makes the divine statement untrue in that it causes it to state that the living being will die, whereas the statement made totally without concealment states that the living being will experience a new situation, which can mean only that it will live, since the continued existence of life is sustained only by means of experiencing new situations or the changing of "movements" into new "movements". But the experience of the situations or the registering of the change in the movements could not possibly take place without their opposite: the absolute "fixed point". And as it is the only "something" existing outside of "movement" that can experience or sense, it is not only its eternal existence but also its continued experience of life that is proclaimed through the world redeemer's statement. And the validity and high-intellectual brilliance of his divine words will therefore unwaveringly sparkle and shine in the cosmic heavens, even though physical worlds and planetary systems may perish.
      Whereas the unconcealed form of the world redeemer's statement gives the statement a fundamental meaning and logic, the statement in its concealed form indicates a change of something that cannot be changed, a destruction of something that cannot be destroyed, and is as a result illogical or absolutely untrue. And we are thus faced with the difference that there will always be between a "relative" or "temporal" analysis (which means an analysis that constitutes merely one "movement's" relationship to another "movement") and an "absolute" or "cosmic" analysis, that is to say, an analysis that constitutes one "movement's" relationship to the absolute "fixed point", in other words the experiencing, eternal "something that is" that exists behind the "movement".
