What remains as lasting value at the end of an earth cycle?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The quality that our souls are meant to achieve during the earthly cycle is expressed through community, an ethics of goodwill, and active altruism. These qualities align with the intention of the Greater Life. Our earthly cycle is strictly conditioned by this larger rhythm of existence.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

We stand at a turning point in the struggle for development. Humanity is entrusted with the task of redeeming the spiritual impulse that has penetrated deep into matter. Through free will and soul experience, we facilitate the transition of existence into a new expression.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The question is: Has enough purified soul substance been generated to serve as a sufficient gain for the system? If the “exam” is passed, the community moves forward. If not, another cycle in the first dimension becomes necessary. Those not yet ready will enter a new round after a long sleep. We have passed the material low point; a spiritual upward pull now affects all who are not solely focused on the material world.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
