1891. What contributed to the diminishing possibility for human being I to continue its incarnation in the sphere of the Earth was to a great extent the fact that its particular mentality or consciousness did not merely deviate from all others or from the general public; it was also so far ahead of the general public's step that it was one of its most remote outposts on the way up towards the perfect human kingdom.Unlike the human being on the general public's step, human being I was thus not together with or surrounded by such a complete flock of like-minded beings.Indeed, it was, so to speak, completely alone.If we say that there was only one human being I for every hundred thousand other human beings, we have a symbolic image of the ratio, even if this is not to be passed off as being the exact mathematical number.There are actually zones in which the finished human being I is so lonely a figure that there are several hundreds of thousands of other mental types of human beings for every human being I.But this of course changes with the growth of the flock towards the human-being-I stage.When the general public has reached this stage in evolution its flock will consist mainly of human beings I.Then the human being I will no longer be a lonely figure, but will, on the contrary, live among millions of like-minded beings.But then the as-yet primitive being with inhumane tendencies, that is the type of being that at the moment constitutes the common being of the flock, will be a lonely figure in that it will constitute one of the last beings in terrestrial mankind's rear guard in its passage out of the zone of the killing principle.
