All further development consists in the continual refinement, the spiritualizing, of this love-principle.

When the beings reappear who will inhabit Jupiter they will regard all those in their environment with their own spiritual powers of perception; and just as with our intellect we admire the wisdom contained in stones, plants, and animals, and indeed in everything that surrounds us—just as we draw wisdom from them that we also may have it—the Jupiter-beings will direct their forces to all that surrounds them, and the love which had been implanted in them during the Earth evolution will be wafted to those who now surround them. In the same way that we analyse objects and learn from the wisdom contained in them, so the Jupiter-beings will edify themselves with the outpourings of love that proceed from the beings about them. This love which is to develop on Earth can only develop through earthly egos being related one to another in the way described. Development in this direction can only take place through men being torn away from group-soul qualities; through one man drawing close to another; only thus can true love develop. Where egos are united within the group-soul there is no true love. Beings must be separated from each other so that love may be offered as a free gift. Only by such a separation as has come about in the human kingdom, where ego meets ego as independent individual, has love as a free gift become possible. This is why an increasing individualism and a uniting of separate individuals had to come about on earth.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":272,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/105/1908-08-12/p020","german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"1908-08-12","de_passages":[],"bead_confidence":"medium","pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false,"correspondence":"unestablished","note":"NOT ALIGNED.
