For they stand so between the Pillar of Life and the Pillar of Death
Judas said to Jesus, “Does the human spirit die?”
Jesus said, “This is why the Force of The All gave the spirits of people to them, as a loan, so that they might offer service: but the great Force of Life ordered things, in order to grant the freedom of will, so that mankind might choose his true Way, and so be rewarded for his choices, and not for his obligations that he cannot avoid.”
