“In the meantime the cow Savala creates with her supernormal powers a seventh group of completely golden warriors - with silvery-white glories around their heads and armed with golden shields and golden spears: radiant like the sun in the sky.

“All of Helgi's soldiers are now full of the happiness of life and of bliss. What more do they want than the inner fullness of their universal being and the outer fullness of their cosmic experience at the same time - like two immense treasures?

Now there is no desire left with them, neither within nor without; what else could there be for them?

Nothing is left that can urge the soldiers to do anything for some additional fulfilment - now that they spontaneously experience all happiness of the divine world in abundance.

“As soon as the king sees the new golden warriors of the cow Savala, he implores his soldiers to turn towards these warriors too. ”But what should be my advantage, now that I really have everything I need for life: happiness of life and joy of life in abundance?” each of them asks sceptically.

“Even if you Don't think of fighting yet,” the king incessantly implores every single one of the soldiers, ”at least turn towards the new warriors!”

“Now some of the soldiers and eventually - after immense effort of the king to persuade every one of them - his whole great army turns their view towards the golden brilliant heroes; and they can't take their brightly shining eyes, full of bliss, from the sun-like men; and spontaneously they see the world as unity: in that manner they enter the seventh main state of consciousness - unity consciousness.

“Testing the new universal steadfastness of his soldiers again and again, Helgi, the mighty king of the earth, can't find the slightest flinch in his peopleis cognition of unity; and this high accomplishment of his retinue fills the king with deep happiness.

“As if by a secret spell the one hundred and eight sons of Helgi turn their view away from the golden warriors and open their unity consciousness for all new possibilities because they think of the great sage Sehermund; everyone of them esteems the great sage higher than himself.

“Now it is a characteristics of unity consciousness that man in this state of consciousness realizes the whole world as natural living unity; but not in a manner that he is not able to distinguish anymore the shapes and things on the surface of existence; rather does he perceive - from his own, inner faculty of cognition - the outer diversity on the basis of its true togetherness.

“Someone in unity consciousness quite naturally has this view in relation to the whole world.

If, for example, we say, ”This is my hand and we are aware that a fly sitting on our hand might see it as separate from us, it is still for us only part of ourselves; we humans perceive ourselves in the entirety of our different organs as an entity - even if on the basis of this unity we distinguish these organs again.
