### II. Does Everything in the World Have a Useful Purpose?

Today is the fifth race of humans in the fourth round. Each round has seven races. In earlier rounds, we were designed differently. Our moon today is the remnant of a planet where we developed into the beings we are today.

Moon = Cosmos of Wisdom, Earth = Cosmos of Love. Fourth round Earth, third round Moon. Moon dwellers without brain and nerves, beings of a lighter nature, with the 'solar web'...

A spiritual shell surrounded the moon, guiding the beings – like today's bees, which act wisely without the individual being wise.

After this round had ended, the seed remained and guided the beings over to the emerging Earth. The now-finished moon planet became our Earth's moon.

From the “seed” developed man - and from the spiritual cover, which surrounded the moon and guided the beings from the outside, a drop descended into each human being. This enabled man to want and create something himself and to develop further.
