Then you will realize it for yourself. The Apocalypse sees the world and man as made up of seven principles. The four lower or inferior principles or powers are represented by the four beasts. These must be overcome. By overcoming the lower, the three upper ones are built up. After this has been presented to us, we are shown how the entire seven-membered nature of the world and of man is scorched in fire, that the divine lightning strikes and that the entire material, in which the seven-membered nature is immersed, is once again overcome. The eighth stage is when the actual material, the evil, really perishes. We are then shown that in addition to the three spiritual elements, the fourth physical element appears as an overcomer; the fourth physical element is seized by the three spiritual elements and then also the three lower ones. The fourth element is man himself. Eagle, [bull], lion and man. Man represents nothing other than Kama-Rupa. The fourth, the human being, combines the three lower physical elements and the three upper ones and gives birth to three new ones from the three physical elements. The physical elements are spiritually reborn, as it were. So we have ten elements instead of seven. This is what the Apocalypse wants to depict with the ten kings.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"20.

Nachdem dies uns hingestellt ist, wird uns gezeigt, wie die gesamte siebengliedrige Natur der Welt und des Menschen im Feuer versengt wird, dass der göttliche Blitz einschlägt und dass das ganze Materielle, in welches die siebengliedrige Natur eingetaucht ist, noch einmal überwunden wird. Als achte Stufe geht dann das eigentliche Materielle, das Böse wirklich zugrunde. Es wird uns dann gezeigt, dass zu den drei geistigen Elementen als Überwinder das vierte physische Element auftritt; das vierte physische Element wird von den drei geistigen Elementen ergriffen und dann auch die drei unteren. Das vierte Element ist der Mensch selbst. Adler, [Stier], Löwe und Mensch. Der Mensch stellt nichts anderes dar als Kama-Rupa. Der Vierte, der Mensch, verbindet die drei unteren physischen Elemente und die drei oberen und gebiert aus den drei physischen Elementen noch drei neue heraus. Die physischen Elemente werden geistig gleichsam wiedergeboren. Wir haben also zehn Elemente an Stelle der sieben.
