Deviations from the Law have many consequences
1) The breath of Spirit fills the heart, giving it life and form. And when that Spirit is denied by outer man the inner man withdraws. And by and by that which you call death ensues because there is a collapse of the inner chamber of the heart. Therefore those who deny God are already dead but they know it not, and yet the soul is alive forevermore. [21-second pause] I seal the sphere of love in a ring of whitefire, and I restore the rhythm of life. To maintain that rhythm you must guard--*guard* the conscious... read more

Harvard's Gospel of Jesus' Wife
