Martinus: Livets Bog, vol. 5, sect. 1890

1890. A being that has advanced beyond the killing principle's culminating sphere of consciousness could not possibly thrive in it as long as it does not have the support of intellectual or absolute knowledge and does not have a series or flock of other like-minded beings to lean on. The as-yet predominant deadly, physical and mental warring mentality of the masses would be so much more than a match for it and would have such a suggestive effect on the mature human being I – which, as we will see later, is very lonely – that it would inevitably begin to doubt the particular structure of its own psyche. It would be unable to overcome this doubt. The mental attitude of the general public would have an intense suggestive effect. The lonely figure would inevitably come to believe that it or its psyche was abnormal, while the attitude or view of the masses had to be normal. This mass suggestion would thereby destroy this being's will to live, for this suggestion would mean that it would have to live with trains of thought or habits of life that it had long since outlived and therefore loathed intensely. But fortunately there is order in the structure of the universe. In God's kingdom nothing can happen that is truly without purpose. Beings cannot be held down in a hell that they have nothing in common with and no attraction towards, and whose consequences they have long since outlived in their consciousness. Beings that have grown beyond the conditions of life that the Earth can supply can no longer incarnate in its sphere. The living being can be attracted only towards spheres that have conditions for its further development. For this reason the incarnation of the advanced human being I on Earth had to stop when it grew beyond the killing principle of life or acquired the perfect humane tendency.
