Moment 3
“Intelligence as Animal Kingdom”
The animal kingdom is in every moment of its respective lives. This signifies that a moment is needed in life for the animal kingdom to be in it. The animal kingdom is in the moment and it neither knows nor believes that there is a moment in which it is.
The animal kingdom lives in a moment though the animal kingdom neither knows nor believes that it has to do something to be able to be in the moment in life.
The questions are: can the animal kingdom make a moment in life to be in the moment? Can the animal kingdom make a moment in life to do anything? The answer why the animal kingdom cannot make a moment in life is given in the article ‘Moment 1.’
The enlightened have proclaimed that the animal kingdom does not make any moment in life and cannot make any moment in life either. So what is the understanding of the moment in life for the animal kingdom by the enlightened, is the question?
The understanding of the moment in life for the animal kingdom by the enlightened is: Every animal, either big or small, gets its food in the moment by the intelligence in life, which is in the moment.
The way and manner any animal gets its food is also manifested by the intelligence in life, which is in the moment. The animal neither knows that it has to hunt nor how to hunt. The hunting happens by the intelligence in life in the moment as instinct.
The understanding of the moment in life for the animal kingdom by the enlightened is: Every bird, reptile and fish, either big or small, in the animal kingdom gets its food in the moment by the intelligence in life, which is in the moment.
The way and manner any bird, reptile and fish gets its food is also manifested by the intelligence in life, which is in the moment. They neither know that they have to get their food nor how to get it. They get their food by the intelligence in life in the moment through instinct in them.
The understanding of the moment in life for the animal kingdom by the enlightened is: Every insect in the animal kingdom, no matter how tiny, gets its food in the moment by the intelligence in life, which is in the moment.
The way and manner any insect gets its food is also manifested by the intelligence in life, which is in the moment. The insect neither knows that it has to get its food nor how to get it. Every insect gets its food by the intelligence in life in the moment through instinct in the insect.
The understanding of the moment in life for the animal kingdom by the enlightened is: The intelligence in life looks after the entire animal kingdom the way it is meant to be looked after.

Editor’s Note:
Human beings are understood to have evolved naturally through stages of manifestation. There have been many theories as to the process which enabled this to happen and many scientific investigations to explain it. A moment’s reflection indicates the presence of a miraculous system that nourishes and sustains life from even the minutest of living creatures that populate our planet to the human being. This system is endowed by the intelligence of life to provide what each stage of evolution requires and is meant to receive. With growing understanding, supported by scientific data, man continues to search for answers to the mysteries of life. In their wisdom and generosity, the enlightened guide man as he searches for answers. The guidance, present in this article, is what man is meant to receive. It never wavers.

German Translator’s Note:
In the article “Moment 3“ the animal kingdom is explained deeply. Animals are not worried that they will not get what they need in the moment. Only humans have this worry. Humans are sophisticated animals. And the worries go far beyond what people need, such as food, for example. Man furthermore worries about things he wants without actually needing them. There is a deeper understanding: That the moment gives everything that man is destined to get. With this understanding, if it happens, worry becomes trust in the moment in life.
