1086. Since we know that the "living being's" experience of life and thereby its sensory perception is thus a "hallowing" of the being, an elevation of the son of God to the culmination of light, to fusion with the Father's radiance, consciousness and sphere of thought, then it is of course certain that "everything is very good". But if "everything is very good", then all the phenomena in this "living correspondence" with the Godhead must of course also be "good". They have, after all, been the means through which it has been possible for the Godhead to guide the son of God forward to fusion with the Father. Everything within the beings' ranges of sensory perception, based on the specific phenomena of perspective occurring there, that is registered as realistic "injustice", "unkindness", "hatred", "persecution", "envy", "professional enmity", "avarice" or "greed", "vices" and so on are thus absolutely inevitable steps without which the "hallowing" of the divine correspondence or relationship between the Godhead and the "living being" (the son of God) could of course never become an absolute reality or experience. Only through knowledge of "injustice" can one recognise or experience "justice", and only through knowledge of the low, animal, primitive forms can one recognise elevated "divine" states. Only through knowledge of "unhappiness" can one recognise "happiness". And "happiness" is thus the culmination of the "experience of life", which, in the highest instance, is the experience of and union with the Godhead.
