“Since someone in cosmic consciousness experiences himself as completely separate from his outer limited action, it makes sense to him that he should only pretend to act, because certainly he experiences within: I Don't act - even if it might look different from outside.

For someone in cosmic consciousness all outer, relative doing - even his own - has only the value of pretence.

“Furthermore he knows that his unchangeable, unruffled, pure consciousness could never oblige itself to waking or dreaming - and thus to all outer fields of experience - because the outer limited experiences prove to him transient; but his own pure, radiant, inner consciousness reveals itself to him as imperishable - incomparable.

“Therefore to someone in cosmic consciousness, in the light of his own personal natural insight into the joyful reality of his own cosmic life, all outer mundane activity can only appear as a completely useless exertion - like a completely senseless effort by which he might at best achieve eventually what he has achieved already and what he permanently experiences anyway, namely: absolute consciousness - pure joy of life.

“But the king Helgi knows that this new, liberating cosmic consciousness of his entrusted ones is not yet the end of the development of consciousness; therefore he tries everything to move his warriors to further activity.

“And in his effort he even goes so far as to sometimes playing the total fool - just to induce his soldiers to more action.

“In the meantime the cow Savala creates with her supernormal powers new warriors - armed with golden shields and swords, gleaming like the gold of the sun; in their golden glistening armours and weapons permanently silvery-white fissures appear that quickly close again, while new cracks appear elsewhere.

These silvery-white crevices are flashed through by golden yellow lightnings creating the impression that the sun were haunted by moon-bright, silvery-white thunderstorms.

“And as Helgi can persuade with untold exertion all his soldiers to turn their attention, that is absorbed in pure joy of life, towards these new soldiers, his people enter the sixth main state of consciousness and attain to god consciousness.

The nature of god consciousness in essence corresponds to that of cosmic consciousness for in both states of consciousness the actor experiences himself as separate from his action, and at first he sees in his state of permanent fulfilment no further inner purpose in acting.

“Yet in god consciousness the changing experiences of all outer action are more fulfilling than in cosmic consciousness since in god consciousness the golden glory of celestial experience dominates.

This is brought about when the cosmically conscious turns his attention quite naturally to ever more beautiful and more positive values of life, thus refining and ennobling the process of his experience.

“By educating himself to increasingly more precise attention inwardly and outwardly, the cosmically conscious systematically refines his senses, his thinking, feeling and understanding; he further cultivates his organs of cognition.
