		In the previous texts it was obvious that many laws 
		from the old World Year has lost their validity totally or partially in 
		the new World Year. This does not mean that they are without influence at 
		the beginning of the new World Year; such matters are always a gradual process, 
		and the new World Year has only just begun. Nevertheless it is important 
		to consider the question that what is taken for granted today will continue 
		to be right, despite the fact that justice and righteousness in general, 
		even within the time frame of one World Year or part thereof, are dynamic 
		concepts, which easily can shift in their appearance. The spiritual - 
		as well as the social code of conduct that one grants oneself, is strongly 
		depending on this. From the point of the cosmos there is no re-evaluation 
		of all values - the accomplishments of the old World Year remain accomplishments. 
		It may be taken or granted that, in the light of the more penetrating, at 
		this time not so secret anymore, Knowledge of the new World Year, these 
		accomplishments will acquire a different appearance and especially a different 
		significance. This does not necessarily mean that is has a deeper, more 
		noble meaning. On the contrary: many a concept from before the Threshold, 
		is of little influence after the Threshold. Most of the philosophical and 
		religious systems have a certain form of messianic ideal, and only few systems 
		emphasize self-salvation. This is mostly related to the repression of Paganism, 
		that in its highest evolution does know self-salvation, and in which the 
		Gods fulfill a role, as it is also present in the Book of Spirits. The new 
		World Year will prove that a messianic ideal is not valid. The concept "Soter" 
		(Savior) does not relate to anything else but the latent self-liberating 
		power of the Self, independent from the fact that this power will come to 
		full development or not. This primal concept in itself brings about that 
		at present the messianic religions have already lived out their existence: 
		the savior-idea as light image appears to be nothing else but a self projection, 
		from the Self-nucleus, which is already seen as purified. When the Christian 
		God "offers" himself, then this is nothing else but a symbol of 
		self purification for the benefit of the Self, and of his fellow-man. Making 
		one step further and the ideal of bodhisattva has been reached. Only the 
		understandable, but not less the unnecessary fear for the Self, for the 
		High Loneliness and for the required courage and alertness, that the idea 
		of a savior seems plausible. Hereby, the appearance of the savior is irrelevant, 
		although some have been more perverted than others by its followers. 
		One must free oneself from the paternalizing of saviors and subsequently 
		of similar religions and systems, in order to discover the true Soter in 
		oneself. This Soter is called Freedom, is called Cosmic Width, is called 
		Universal Seriousness, the three elements which together form Wisdom. 
		No wisdom is in him who is not free within himself, because he is a thoughtless 
		slave of others, who think in his place or at least pretend. No wisdom 
		is in him also when he is deaf and blind, who believes what others see and 
		hear in his place or pretend to do so. No wisdom is in him neither who 
		is frivolous to the All, because he is a spiritual fool, who leaves his 
		responsibility to others, who pretend to fulfill the cosmic plights in his 
		place. The path that is open, is not the one of the least resistance. 
		In stead of other thoughts, enlightened or not, one has to think for oneself. 
		In stead of echoing other people's sentences, one shall have to learn to 
		speak from oneself. But above all: in stead of going to promised lands of 
		eternity as if being part of a traveling companionship, one shall have to 
		oneself find the answers to cosmic questions, and to find the spark in order 
		to alight the innate eternal Light. The era of belief is totally over; the 
		era of Cosmic Knowing has started.
