1071. Since the living being cannot exist without constituting an indivisible unit united by "time" and "eternity", it is consequently easy for the researcher to free himself from all "muddled thinking" and assign all the cosmic analyses of the living being to their respective places in the experience of life and there perceive them in their absolutely rightful cosmic perspective where they are reality and where they are illusion. This qualification is all the more necessary since, if the opposite were the case, all existing cosmic analyses of the living being would make the researcher simply mentally defective and bring about his meeting with the "guardians of the threshold". He would then sometimes take temporal phenomena for cosmic phenomena and vice versa. It is naturally a matter of course that this in turn gives rise to a corresponding, illusory view of life and existence, which cannot be on the level of anything other than simple or primitive superstition. If he were unacquainted with humility, he would, with his erroneous cosmic knowledge, begin to hold forth about all the great artists' beautiful sculptures and pictorial works and all the great poets' and writers' poems and eulogies about Nature and life being meaningless illusions, thereby in a way justifying his own lack of humility and gratitude for the beauty and magnificence of life or Nature. In the same way he will conceal his lack of neighbourly love or sympathy for his neighbour's sufferings and dark fate on the grounds that this neighbour is himself the first cause of his own unhappiness and has therefore no right to understanding and love from any other being. To a great extent he will conceal himself behind the cosmic analysis: "No one can suffer injustice, and no one can do injustice", thereby convincing himself that he is more or less innocent of any painful action he inflicts upon his neighbour. He will plead that nothing "divine" exists and nothing "devilish" either. No one is "good", and no one is "evil", no one is "beautiful" and no one is "ugly", and so on. But he nonetheless introduces the view that "everything is very good", a view that in turn estranges him from the very nature and power of prayer. In so doing he loses for a while the only existing natural mental attitude and training of the consciousness that would lead him to the direct, personal contact with the Godhead, which means life and existence or the experience of being "one with the Father". Here the "guardians of the threshold" are indeed realistic reality.
      As we see here, misunderstanding cosmic analyses can be rather disastrous for the immature researcher who, precisely by virtue of this misunderstanding, comes to live entirely in disharmony with himself and his surroundings. He has thus come into contact with the analyses, whose real truth he does not grasp at all, these analyses therefore becoming for him merely a kind of philosophy of life by virtue of which he in good faith imagines that he is free of responsibility for his unfinished or less loving behaviour towards his neighbour and surroundings with the justification that "everything is very good" and that no one, as previously mentioned, "can do injustice or suffer injustice", and that everyone is the originator of his own unhappy or happy fate.
