About Beings Who Influence the Human Being
On Venus beings dwell whose thoughtful speech points to a high logic, their countenance reflects a high morality—but even there are some who have predatory desires, and also others who are in all kinds of intermediate stages between gentle and wild. When the Earth’s population will have accepted Christianity and a unified bond of brotherhood spans the Earth in ever-widening circles, then it will draw nearer to the Venus beings. These exert an influence on our nutritional juices. Food is not only a chemical production, but with it a spiritual power flows through the throat. It reflects the actions of the mysterious beings and powers, how they influence the plants; each plant only grows under special conditions, so that in accordance with the ground and soil specific types of people, communities and tribes can form itself.
