Martinus: Livets Bog, vol. 5, sect. 1936

1936. With this fusion of the two sexual centres – the brain centre and the sexual centre or centre for sympathy – the being will one day be free of being born of women. In a society of such god-like human beings one does not marry. Here one is no longer a specifically male being or a specifically female being but belongs to a structure of life that, because of the liberation from gender that it expresses, one can call "free gender". It is the culmination of the living being's situation or epoch in the cycle that underlies Christ's words: "You are Gods". In this society the material organisms are so etheric in nature that they can be built up using surplus mental energies from the living beings' organisms. We have called this surplus energy "substance A". It exists in the aura of the beings. When a new "embryo" is to be formed here, certain advanced beings that have special gifts for this will use their will and power of thought to create the possibility for this substance to come into contact with a force in the living being on the spiritual plane, a force that we call the "force A". This force is released from the mental plane by the discarnate being through its fate element and the talent kernels it contains for building up an organism. It is the same talent kernels that build up the little embryo's organism in the mother's womb in the one-poled beings, but here it takes place very slowly and takes both months and years. In the perfect two-poled state the formation of the body takes place at lightning speed. The building up of the organism, which takes several years to reach adulthood in the one-poled state, takes here only the same number of minutes, indeed, sometimes only the same number of seconds. We know this manifestation and creation under the concept of "materialisation". But just as the organism in this way can be built up at lightning speed, it can also be broken down or dematerialised at the same speed. In the highly advanced beings on this plane, that is to say beings that live almost exclusively on breath – that live on air and a small percentage of the very finest raw food that exists, namely the fruit flesh around the seed in the finest fruits – the organism can even be dematerialised and built up again according to the individual's own wishes outside the ordinary materialisation and dematerialisation that replaces birth and death respectively. Because of its bodily state and the level of evolution of its consciousness the being can thus here, during its physical incarnation, wander so to speak in and out of the spiritual world as it wishes and pleases. Thus we understand here that the great separation between the "living" and the "dead" that exists on the present terrestrial human beings' primitive steps does not exist here. Here there are no tearful, sad funeral ceremonies. Here all the ways in which the living being subjugates Nature's processes of life are experienced as divine joy and light. But this aspect of life is as yet so far away from the terrestrial human being's present spiritual step that it is not particularly necessary to go into more detail about it here. When this aspect of the terrestrial human being's fate is of current interest there will be sufficient cosmic beings to go into it in more detail. With this we have wanted to give only a hint of the contours of the human being's future final form of existence in physical matter and as a "god-like human being" on Earth.
