The Cosmic Radiation of the Globe
The individual's ascending and descending curves  43. According to the particular and mutually combined conditions under which the two radiations from the Divine Creative Principle manifest themselves, living beings will appear at highly differing stages or grades. Thus they can find themselves at a stage where the dark radiation is on the increase and the light one is correspondingly decreasing; and they can find themselves at a stage where the opposite is the case. Such an evolutionary zone in which both these opposite standards come to a complete unfolding, or culmination, is called in Livets Bog an "evolutionary spiral". In the first half of such a spiral the dark radiation from the Creative Principle arrives at culmination while the light radiation from the same principle is reduced to a latent state. In the last half of that spiral it is the opposite, in that the light radiation has its culmination and the dark one becomes latent. As the conditions between the two radiations described here result in the living beings in the first half of a spiral evolving from a spiritual to a material state and in the last half it is the opposite, then these two halves will be expressed for the individuals as their "descending curve" and their "ascending curve".
