1611. Since living beings are eternal beings, they have no beginning or end. In our cosmic analysis we have therefore been unable to begin at any "beginning" of the living beings' eternal life. We have been able to begin our cosmic analysis only at that place in the spiral cycle or in the beings' eternal existence or life where – from an existence as radiant sons of God in the kingdom of light living in union with Providence or the Godhead, their eternal Father – they were transformed into cosmically "dead" beings, whose previously so radiant cosmic consciousness shrank to become an experience of life based on complete ignorance of their own eternal I and the laws on which the universe or true light is based. We have begun where "Adam" was one hundred per cent masculine, and "Eve" was correspondingly feminine, and where the process of creation was advantageous for the son of God's descent into the darkness of hell, his journey to the domicile of deadly horrors, sorrow and suffering, to the obliteration of his memory of his elevated identity with eternity. Later, when we have finished analysing the son of God's experience of the kingdom of death and his journey through it, we will return to the nature of the being's existence in the light.
