The beings of the killing principle constitute the macrobeing's stomach and digestive organs
1925. Neighbourly love or the highest feeling of pleasure dominates in this being's organism through the living beings' mental and bodily interaction and life together. In the macrobeing's organism these beings and their kingdoms or spheres constitute this being's sexual organs, which are, as is known, the organs for the direct, double-poled display of love. They are, as previously mentioned, organs for caressing. Below this kingdom we have the zone of terrestrial human beings, whose individuals are beings that are still struggling ferociously to eradicate their animal nature. Here it is instinct and primitive feeling that is to the fore. Here it is only the one-poled display of sympathy or the instinctive sympathy we know as "amorous love" that is to the fore. But this, from a cosmic point of view, primitive sexuality is thus an offshoot of the real energy from the real human kingdom transformed and adapted through the being's one-poled state into partial or selfish love, which is the same as egoism or the desire to possess. These beings are thus predominantly physical beings whose mentality is devoid of cosmic knowledge or insight. Their religious sense is only instinct – not reason or absolute knowledge. We have here the cosmic zone of death where the killing principle dominates. In the macro-organism these beings and their kingdom constitute the stomach and digestive regions.
