As I must refer the reader to Livets Bog (The Book of Life), where a more
detailed description of the coming world government and its results is manifested,
I will, through the following quotation from that book convey only the essence
of terrestrial mankind's fate or present epoch of evolution. This essence
can be conveyed in the following twelve points:
1. The victory of unselfishness over selfishness in all forms (the victory
of common interest over private interest).
2. The creation of an international, democratic world government.
3. The disarmament of all countries in favour of the establishment of an
international, impartial world police force.
4. The development of an international, undisguised - not secret- supreme
system of law and justice represented by science's most eminent people in
spiritual as well as in material fields who will be qualified to know the
difference between "abnormal actions" and "crimes" -
having knowledge of the course of evolution and the eternal laws of life,
which would thus guarantee absolute justice for everyone and everything.
5. The abolition of private individuals' possession of valuable goods in
favour of their appropriation by the world state.
6. The abolition of money in favour of the establishment of an individual's
personally rendered work as the only means of payment for him.
7. The establishment of one fund for childhood, old age and illness covering
the whole of the world state and founded on the basis of deductions from
work-receipts.
8. The use of machines for shortening material working hours in favour of
days for study and spiritual research.
9. The abolition of bloodshed and policies of violence.
10. The abolition of torture, corporal and capital punishment in favour
of expert arrangements for internment and education.
11. The development of vegetarian food, of health and the care of the physical
body, and of light, healthy housing.
The development of intellectual liberty, tolerance, humanness and love to
all living beings, to people and animals, to plants and to minerals.
These twelve points are thus identical with the realities around which the
entire terrestrial human energy for evolution will be concentrated and under
which the fulfilment of existence's highest commandment of love, "Love
one another'', on the basis of the new cosmic world impulse, will now approach
its perfect release in the terrestrial human being's daily existence. These
twelve points are thus not a complicated speculation worked out by the brain
or a hypothesis but, on the contrary, an expression of the analysis of a
true fact that has come to expression in thought only on the basis of previous
actual experiences. No terrestrial human being will therefore be able to
exist without being in contact with these realities or being surrounded
by these energies.
Being in tune with these energies or the twelve points mentioned is thus
the same as being in harmony with the divine world plan. It means being
a stimulating factor in the creation of world peace on earth and it is the
quickest way for every terrestrial human being to "the great birth''
or the attainment of a transfigured existence.
Being against the twelve points or energies means, on the other hand, being
in disharmony with the energies of the universe, being against the essence
of the world's religions: it means that one is a hindrance for terrestrial
mankind's release from the dark areas of war and suffering, whereby one
makes oneself an undermining factor in one's own absolute happiness.
But, since the energies from the light radiation of "the divine creative
principle" (that principle which, among other things, has given rise
to the religions of the world) have long ago become a dominating factor
in terrestrial mankind's evolution and have therefore established as a fact
that mankind evolves from "the animal kingdom" to "the human
kingdom" and not vice versa, and since this evolution can take place
absolutely only on the basis of the fulfilment of the great commandment
"Love one another'', and since this fulfilment in turn, according to
the divine world plan, as far as the terrestrial human being is concerned,
can be released only in the form of the previously mentioned realities or
points, the evolution of these and the creation of a divine world kingdom
resting on these will here be visible as an absolute reality.
The great events that in the present century are sweeping over the
world are therefore to be seen as identical with the transformation of terrestrial
mankind's twilight state to a sunlit existence. They are the death throes
of the animal kingdom in the body of terrestrial human society and the incipient
resurrection of the cosmic human kingdom on earth. That these events have
not been able to and will not come to pass entirely bloodlessly is quite
natural as long as they are still identical with a fight that takes place
in an area where hate, revenge and self-defence fight against slavery, hoarding
and greed. A battlefield that is the scene of a reaction between such energies
can produce only corpses. But over these corpses the world arises in a new
transfigured form, and the earth becomes a vibration of intellect and love,
a harmony of intuition and bliss.
