"In any case, you must first of all be
told that this holy planet, which is called 'Purgatory,' is the heart and place
of concentration of all the final results of the pulsation of everything that
functions and exists in the whole of our Great Universe.
"Our Common Father Creator Endlessness appears there so often only
because this holy planet is the place of existence of the most unfortunate
'highest being-bodies,' who obtained their coating on various planets of our
Great Universe.
"The 'highest being-bodies' who have become worthy to dwell on this
holy planet suffer, as perhaps no one else and nothing else suffers in the
whole of our Great Universe.
"In view of this, our All-Loving, All-Merciful, and Absolutely Just
Creator Endlessness, having no other possibility of helping these unfortunate
'highest being-bodies,' often appears there, so that by these appearances of
His, He may soothe them, if only a little, in their terrible yet inevitable
state of inexpressible anguish."
