Martinus: Livets Bog, vol. 4, sect. 1235

1235. But how is the source of all hatred, anger, persecution, opposition and misfortune to cease or be removed without the two flames of the "highest fire" being reunited in "one flame"? As long as a spring continues to flow, it will of course maintain its outlet. As long as the cause of darkness is not removed, the effects of this cause will also continue being present. Since the cause or source of darkness is "Eve's existence", which thus means, "Adam's" and "Eve's" respective appearance as "specifically male beings" and "specifically female beings", it is this part of the experience within the spiral cycle that must be completed and brought to an end in favour of another part of this cycle, namely, the "creation of beings in God's image", which in turn is the same as "perfect human beings". So life, in contact with the highest biblical traditions or the writings handed down from the greatest sages, has here shown us that the "Fall", which means "darkness", came into the world with "Eve", the "serpent" and the "transformed Adam", that is, the "Adam" that had "lost his rib" because of the "creation of Eve". But this transformation of the living being or son of God into two mutually essential opposite sexes was the "highest fire", which in turn actually means the "consciousness of God" divided into "two flames", which each gradually incarnated in flesh and blood and culminated in the terrestrial "man" and "woman". These two beings, the perfect "specifically male being" and "specifically female being", were thus each compelled to be nothing but a "sinful" being, which in reality means nothing more than that they were "unfinished" beings.
