Most people consider death as something awful. But just think; imagine what would happen if death stopped its work. That would be far worse. The principle of life and the principle of death share the same work site, but their work takes place at different times. As Solomon says in the Book of Ecclesiastes: ‘For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up...' Only the spirit is immortal and he constantly incarnates in new forms, which in turn will be destroyed. However, people who endeavour to give the spirit first place within themselves, will delay the action of the destructive principle – which is also likened to time: Chronos or Saturn – they plunge into this Fountain of Youth, which is divine light, and are regenerated in it. They endeavour to open up their hearts to goodness, kindness, and beauty in everything they do in life, in order to allow springtime to enter them
