Martinus: Livets Bog, vol. 4, sect. 1063

1063. As was shown by the previous analyses the living being has a "temporal" manifestation and an "eternal" manifestation. For this reason it has at one and the same time two analyses, namely one for its "temporal" manifestation and one for its "eternal" manifestation. Everything that is directly accessible to sensory perception can be said to be indicative of the being's "temporal" manifestation. Since direct sensory perception depends on "movement" and the results of "movement", that is "created things", and since these in turn can exist only with a beginning and an end, thereby indicating time and space, and since they can likewise also appear only as indicative of the eternal rhythm of the movement, that is the cycle, which determines their manifestation as solid, liquid, gaseous and ray-formed matter by means of which they express consistency and weight, we have here before us the entire "temporal" aspect of the living being. This aspect is thus nothing less than the direct "experience of life" itself.
