1897. In its next incarnation human being I had then to be born in a sphere where the absolute truth was not merely dogmas but also existed as concrete, day-conscious, universal science. Now this situation is, however, in the process of being discontinued. Now the terrestrial human beings I no longer need to be born on another planet in order to attain the great birth. With the world redemption's present great impulse and efforts, the solution to the mystery of life, or the world picture's concrete analyses in their entirety in the form of spiritual science, has now been born and manifested in the sphere of the Earth. The entire structure of the world picture, both its temporal and its eternal details, is now found in cosmic analyses that constitute cohesive rows of thought, logically built up as concrete nourishment for the intellect or reason. By comparing the beings' own experiences with these analyses, the real truth about the world picture becomes a living, concrete reality. The developed or spiritually mature researcher can thus by virtue of his own material of experience reflect on, and thereby check, every main detail, every main phenomenon in the world picture's cosmic analyses and thereby, through personal observation, experience these as concrete knowledge, truth and reality. These cosmic analyses of the world picture, couched in substance of intelligence and thereby made accessible to ordinary intellectual senses as verifiable science, have thereby been transferred from the domain of feeling and instinct, where they were accessible only as unverifiable dogmatic beliefs or prophetic postulates, to the clear, realistic area of the waking day-consciousness. The entire world picture, its mental or spiritual aspect as well as its material or physical one, has thereby become tangible or concrete reality. And since this knowledge can give rise only to a way of being that is such that one loves one's neighbour as oneself, and to the understanding that "everything is very good", as well as to clear-sightedness about the beings' own immortality or eternal existence as being at one with the Godhead, one understands how the present manifestation of the cosmic world impulse or world redemption has paved the way for the transformation of human being I from being an uninitiated terrestrial human being to being an initiated one. Now that the solution to the mystery of life has become accessible on Earth as knowledge A, B and C, terrestrial mankind will in the coming centuries see the transformation of many human beings I into incipient human beings J. The great birth will gradually become an everyday occurrence in the sphere of the Earth, an occurrence similar in frequency to ordinary physical birth.
