You, the Animal - You, the Human Being
Which Has Higher Values?
The emergence of humans and of the Earth:
The reversal process from the pure spiritual,
the fine material, to the coarse material
The spiritual body which, burdened and incarnated, is called a soul lives on the Earth in an envelopment that we call the human being. Not until the soul has been purified of its burdens, that is, liberated, does it become a pure being again. Then, as the All that has spiritually taken on form, it lives again consciously in the All-stream, God, from which the spiritual divine body, the pure being, went forth.
The All-stream is the eternal divine law that flows through infinity. It flows through all forms of Being, all divine beings, all pure heavens with their planets and divine nature kingdoms. It also flows through the planes of preparation, the planes of unfoldment, which group around the pure Being and on which the purified souls prepare for their return home into the eternal Being. The eternal law also flows through and maintains the purification planes and the souls which live there in order to purify themselves. The eternal law also flows through and maintains part-matter—and matter with its stars and the Earth with its people and nature kingdoms.
All spiritual forms came and come forth from the great All-One.
He is the breath of the All and the All itself. He, the All-One, spoke His
almighty word, and the first beings and life forms emerged.
All pure beings and life forms are the All that has taken on form. The All-law flows in them. They are substance and power of the All. Through the Creator, the All-Spirit, who is at the same time the principle of creation, everything is contained in all things.
The Earth with its people has the rhythm of day and night and the hours, minutes, seconds and moments. People call this rhythm “time.” If they do not live consciously in the day, then they are lived by the day and its events; this is why only few pay attention to the eternal laws of God and why they often see themselves as soul-less—as “only human.”
The human body is merely the protective shell for the soul that dwells in it, for the spiritual body. The material of this shell consists of matter. In this materiality, the soul can live on matter, on the Earth, in order to clear up in the brevity of years what it inflicted on itself in previous incarnations—and perhaps even in this incarnation.
The protective shell, the human, emerged very gradually. To the degree to which the emerging human being rebelled against the eternal law, the spiritual body enveloped itself in materiality, in the vibrations that the human being sent out —and which came back to him according to the law of “sowing and reaping.” Over the course of the ages, the material garment, the protective shell, became ever denser, and its vibrations became increasingly coarse. What very gradually crystallized out of this was and is the human being.
The beings that had turned away from God—also called Fall-beings—and burdened themselves more and more, fell into ever deeper zones of the All. With them, parts of pure spiritual planets also fell, which, similar to the Fall-beings, enveloped themselves in coarse matter.
As a result of the Fall-event, the planes of preparation and of purification developed, and the coarse material developed, which, in its state of greatest density, is called matter. In human terms, this reversal process from the fine-material to the coarse-material took countless epochs of time.
As it is in heaven, it is similar on Earth. The heavenly planets carry the spiritual nature kingdoms—the Earth carries the condensed nature kingdoms.
The spiritual nature kingdoms consist of minerals, plants and animals of all kinds, similar to the nature kingdoms of the Earth; the nature beings, too, are a part of them. The part-planets, which slipped from the eternal Being as a result of the Fall, carried spiritual minerals, spiritual plants and animals, which gradually condensed and became coarse-material, that is, matter.
Everything that vibrates and moves outside the pure Being is enveloped in a corresponding rate of vibration. And so, anything that is not pure primordial substance bears a magnetic shell, which can be called a mantle. A person, too, moves in his self-made magnetic shell. According to the law of sowing and reaping, he attracts what he sends out; for what he sows, that is, what he sends out, is what he reaps, what he receives.
No energy is lost: Whatever negative energy the individual Fall-being sent out fell back onto the Fall-being; it enveloped itself with this. At the same time, it contributed to the envelopment of the spiritual part-planets.
Over the course of becoming human, the shells condensed more and more,
through which the material body and the material universe emerged.
Many people are of the opinion that from generation to generation different
people come into this world. It only seems this way, however, because the
souls appear again and again in different shells—in different physical
bodies—that correspond only indirectly to the previously discarded shell.
The characteristics that the soul radiates when incarnating again mark the
physical garment; with this, the soul forms its shell, the human being. The
soul, which is fully incarnated only upon its actual birth, forms itself
already in the womb, in the embryonic state, that is, in the already
developing human body.
