nothing can doom us but the belief in doom, for this prevents the movement of return. 
the belief in doom is a delusion from the start. 
the scheme of running down is appropriate only for ordering that which is  
nothing-but-having-become, the severed world event, objecthood as history.  
the presence of the you, that which is born of association, 
is not accessible to this approach, which does not know the actuality of spirit,
and this scheme is not valid for spirit.  
divination based on objecthood is valid only for those who do not know presentness. whoever is overpowered by the it-world must consider 
the dogma of an ineluctable running down 
as a truth that creates a clearing in the jungle. 
in truth, this dogma only leads one deeper into the slavery of the it-world.  
but the world of the you is not locked up. 
whoever proceeds toward it, concentrating the whole being, with the power to relate resurrected, beholds freedom.  
and to gain freedom from the belief in unfreedom is to gain freedom.
