Martinus: Livets Bog, vol. 4, sect. 1420

1420. Thus the entire world impulse during its millions-of-years-long process of creation proves to be logical and one-hundred-per-cent purposeful. But a logic or purposefulness that transforms everything so as to be absolutely completely to the advantage of every living being can exist only as the very height of "universal love". This "love" is thus the absolute main key to life or existence. But since absolute "love" is thus the only phenomenon that removes war, accidents, sufferings, sorrows and all mental and physical darkness from the living beings' journey onwards through heaven and is therefore life's all-outshining light, the very culmination of the sense of life, indeed, the "kingdom of heaven" itself, we have here, as already previously mentioned, thrown the entire universe onto the scales, thus tipping them in favour of the analyses that we already have touched upon in previous sections of Livets Bog concerning the organic evolution of "love". And it will be very fitting for every true reader or researcher to bear very much in mind that "love" is thus the alpha and omega of life or the only existing road to heaven, to the light, to the very highest pinnacles of life or of all experience, for he may need this when meeting subsequent analyses of the organic structure of "love" itself.
For the majority of terrestrial human beings today this side of their life or the organic evolution of "love" in their own flesh and blood is as yet something quite unknown or unconscious, indeed, for some beings even something quite incredible and unintelligible. They still thrive with an organic functioning that renders absolute "neighbourly love" totally impossible, because it can create happiness and mental well-being solely through sexual ownership of beings of the opposite sex. The opposite sex is therefore "heaven" for such a being. That something else could be higher, more beautiful and nobler, and thereby to a greater extent be the meaning and goal of life than that which the terrestrial human being perceives as natural, is of course inconceivable for such a being. The being must of course feel that what it is organically built for is very much its normal fulfilment of life and its laws. The normal and perfect life for a fish must thus be in water, because it is organically built for such a life. If mammals, to which terrestrial human beings belong, are organically built to love the opposite sex, this "love" for this being must of course be the complete fulfilment of the meaning of life. And this "love" is then also called "normal" or "natural" love. And since this form of "love" is that of the majority or the flock, it has the favour or authorisation of the entire flock.
