1583.
In this half of a kingdom, which is indicated by the white circular figure, the structure of the organism is thus in a pure state, which means that it is one hundred per cent in harmony with the being's desires and will.
In this half of the kingdom there is no dissatisfaction with life, and no wish for an even better existence.
Satiation with this kingdom has not yet reached its peak.
There is therefore no such thing as "evil" or "good" in the structure of the being, such as is unavoidably the case in the latter half of the kingdom.
Here the ideals particular to the kingdom have been experienced to a point of satiation and therefore no longer create any zest for life or joy.
Here it is the particular structure and details of the next kingdom that begin to dominate the longings of the being.
And with these longings its body also begins to be transformed in favour of the manifestations of the next kingdom, at the same time as those aspects of its nature that are in favour of the present kingdom degenerate.
It is this state of consciousness that determines that so-called "evil" and so-called "good" occur in the consciousness of the terrestrial human being.
"Evil" is thus the particular, deadly structure and laws of the terrestrial human being's present kingdom, that is to say, the "animal kingdom", a structure and laws that have been experienced to a point of satiation.
For this reason there is a continuously growing loathing or aversion towards these laws or this structure.
Because of this loathing or aversion they are gradually regarded or recognised as "evil".
Formerly, when terrestrial human beings were not yet satiated with these laws and details of the animal kingdom, they were perceived as ideals or virtues.
It was, as previously mentioned, upon these ideals or virtues that Nordic mythology or the worship of Odin was based.
It will be recalled that "good" in the consciousness of the terrestrial human being is the principle of humaneness and neighbourly love and the consequent peaceful and harmonious way of being that is now the much-coveted ideal and foundation of the new, coming kingdom (the real human kingdom).
Both of these mental states, the animal and the human, are indicated in the symbol by the dark circular figure and the white circular figure respectively.
