Contemplating the victory in us of the Father, we chanted a song in answer to that of the Sons of God who were our fellows. Perfect at last, in rapport with all the law fulfilled, karmaless, immortal, beside Jesus, no more need to incarnate, Life was ended, but Being just commenced. Paradoxical? In all the aeons of time we had Life, but Being, which hath no beginning, neither end, and is not under the dominion of Time, every ego hath ever from the Father. But Life hath beginning, so also it must have end; it hath end. If its conditions are strong enough to enchain for aye, then the soul is diverted from its ego to the tracks of Life, and is then heritor of death. Only if a soul forfeit not to Life its hold on Being-on its ego-shall it not die. Sin is the error of turning from Being unto Life, whereof the shadow is death. The soul that sinneth and turneth not away from finite life and the conditions thereof, it shall die.
Contemplating the Father's victory in us, we chanted a song in answer to the song of the Sons of God who were our fellows. We were perfect at last, in rapport with all the law, having fulfilled it. We were karmaless and immortal, beside Jesus, with no more need to incarnate. Life was ended, but Being had just begun. Is that a paradox? In all the ages of time we had Life. But Being has no beginning and no end, and is not under the rule of Time. Every ego has always had Being from the Father. But Life has a beginning, so it must also have an end, and it does end. If its conditions are strong enough to chain a soul forever, then the soul is turned aside from its ego onto the tracks of Life. It then becomes heir to death. Only if a soul does not give up its hold on Being, on its ego, to Life will it escape death. Sin is the error of turning from Being to Life, and the shadow of Life is death. The soul that sins and does not turn away from finite life and its conditions will die.
Down all the realms of light echoed the paeans of praise, as when the "Morning stars sang together and the Sons of God shouted for joy."
