2. "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." - Bible: Matthew (5:18) "Put not off from day to day and from cycle to cycle, is the belief that ye will succeed in obtaining the mysteries when ye return to the world in another cycle." - Jesus Christ in the Gnostic Gospels: Pistis Sophia "All souls are subject to revolution… but men do not know the ways of the Holy One… They are ignorant of the way they have been judged in all time, before they came into this world and when they have quitted it." - Zohar (Kabbalah) "Every soul... comes into the world strengthened by the victories or weakened by the defeats of its' previous life. Its' place in this world as a vessel appointed to honor or dishonor, is determined by its' previous merits or demerits. Its' work in this world determines its' place in the world which is to follow this." - Origen "In other worlds I lingered through the length of many nights; And God alone can ever know how great the sorrow of soul I saw - In Brooksvalin, where souls are subject to the cosmic cause of judgment." - Scandinavian "Song of Olaf Ostensen“ "We never made for any mortal before thee immortality… Every soul shall taste of death! We will test them with evil and good, as a trial; & unto us shall they return again and again" - Koran "The individual self, augmented by its' aspirations, sense contact, visual impressions and delusion, assumes successive forms in accordance with it's actions… So it is that we live in accordance with our deep, driving desire. It is this desire at the time of death that determines what our next life is to be. We will come back to Earth to work out the satisfaction of that desire." - Svetasvtara Upanishad
