Whatever angels or heavenly beings exist outside also exist within man, in shadow form.And if one takes on the qualities of a demon, then he is a demon.This body is a cooperative store.If one takes on the qualities of a lion, then he is a lion; if one has the arrogance of the elephant within him, then he is an elephant himself; if he has the quality of the biting snake, he is a snake.If he butts like the bull or kicks like the horse, then he is that animal.
If he has the quality of illusion, then he is illusion itself.If he has the quality of satan, then he is darkness itself.So, man has the form of whatever qualities he has taken within himself.It is by his qualities and actions that you can ascertain his form.If he is filled with arrogance, envy, vengeance, and jealousy, he has the qualities of satan.If he has desire, then he has the quality of illusion.If he has torpor, then he has the quality of ignorance.
Therefore, we must find out who is a true human being.If you look at all of mankind in the world of God’s creations, there are very, very few true human beings. But there are very, very many who are animals.
God is just one, and like that, true man is very, very rare.In the kingdom of this earth, the true human being is very rare indeed.They are very few and even these few are not tolerated here; they are not allowed to exist in this world.The true human being is just one in ten million.But if one does become a true man, then for him there will be no birth or death, nor will he return again.He does not come back to the world, nor is he destroyed.
A bull must plow, then later go to the butcher, and from the butcher come to the table.He must go and come back.He must go and come back through the gate of hell.This is the way of the animal.They must go to hell and come back through hell.This is the way it is, but true man is not like this. A true human being is very rare.
