task. It is only when there are no more prepared to take the path
            that  Spirit  will  stop  this  work.  You  will  notice  that  we  said
            `prepared' for if the ideal for humankind in the humans mind is
            ignorance  then  that  is  what  humankind  wishes  and  humankind
            must  therefore  be  prepared  to  face  the  consequential  action  of
            these ways they have chosen. There is only one way, though many
            paths, back to God and that is by determination. If one seeks to
            return to God but only with certain provisions then that will be
            the way he will return, only in a certain way and provisionally, it
            doesn't take much wind to dislodge a loose slate.



                   Let us now examine the matter of sin. You are taught there
            are  many  kinds  of  sin,  this  is  not  so.  Sin  is  sin  and  there  is  no
            excuse for it other than there is a different degree of consequence
            for the sinful action. Every cause has an effect. Let us look at the
            push used to move an object, a little push moves the object only a
            little and a hard push moves it further. If you look at this analogy
            closer  you  will  also  understand  that the  mass  of  the  object  will
            cause the movement of the object to differ as the mass differs. So
            to with sin, the degree of seriousness (push) is proportional to the
            degree of consequence (mass of object), but the sin has still been
            committed. Therefore we can now see that there is no way that sin
            can be evaluated into `kinds'. The simple answer is to avoid sin as
            much as is humanly possible and then there is no need to try and
            justify the mal-action. This brings us to understand how we cope
            with  the  knowing  that  we  have  transgressed.  This  is  infinitely
            more complicated as this is the effect that conscience has on the
            offender. Working on the understanding that the offender is even
            conscious that he has misbehaved, then in his own judgement on
