1648. Since the entire functioning of life is thus a matter of the creation or attainment of a feeling of pleasantness or wellbeing, and life without this feeling does not reach its peak, it here becomes evident that this principle is identical to the ordinary sexual principle.But this principle is also a matter of the attainment of the highest feeling of pleasantness or sensual pleasure.There is thus no difference between the terrestrial human sexual principle and the cosmic principle of the experience of life itself.Only in its purely outer structure with its connection to the bodily principle of reproduction does terrestrial human sexuality differ from the main principle as a specific, detailed area.The entire experience of life, indeed the entire world structure, is thus a question of a feeling of pleasantness.In its highest instance this feeling of pleasantness is the "kingdom of heaven", "bliss", the experience of "immortality", the experience of being "one with the Father", the experience of being the master of time and space.The satisfaction of life's highest feeling of pleasure is thus the same as the "highest fire".This satisfaction or "fire" is the I's mental source of warmth, its hearth, its cradle, its grave, its resurrection and eternal existence.
