Sin, death, violence, sex and shame all enter the world at the same time. This is indicative of the temporal existence of sex; sin ceases, death is defeated, violence abandoned, shame erased, and we are all relieved of the instinctual - to rise as spirits wrapped in skin incorruptible.

From stones God can raise children of Abraham to sing and dance - the blessing of procreation passes as the rhythm of life touches the stars and we shine forever as children of God. The sensuous joy of being free in the life of God enraptures the soul in love, life, righteousness, and peace, while uncertainty is swallowed up in endless celebratory rest.

Forever the gates of our city are open to receive humanity. The ravaging beast rests with the lamb to devour no more. The end of instinct, of the sexual impulse, the beast who reigned east of Eden has become a powerless, fading memory.
