1803. Since it is now obvious that it is a gentler manifestation of sympathy – so-called "neighbourly love" – that is needed if there is to be real peace on Earth or an existence without war, torture, hatred, persecution and oppression, it is in fact just as obvious that this transformation could not possibly come about if the sexual structure, through which the highest fire can blaze with only such a very low flame in the terrestrial animal and human being, were one-directional or constituted the norm for sexuality throughout the entire spiral cycle. A sexual structure must exist that can make the highest fire blaze in another way through the living beings' organism, nature, mind and thought. How could real, one hundred per cent neighbourly love otherwise emerge? And how could the fulfilment of the law of life, and thereby the manifestation of the perfect experience of life, come about? Every perfect experience of life is exactly the same as a perfect fulfilment of the conditions that provide the unimpeded, most elevated sensation. And can the most elevated sensation be more elevated than love? What is an experience in which there is no love? What is art, science, culture and life together without love? Is it not a fact for the advanced researcher into life's cosmic analyses that no manifestation whatsoever can be art, science, culture or life together without love? Is it not a lack of love that creates war, hell and Armageddon instead of art, culture or a vitalising life together? Is it not a lack of love that creates pain and suffering, torture, oppression and destruction?
