Now, this most great cycle is also purely spiritual, the bestowal of eternal life. For the foundation stone of the religion of God is the betterment of morals, the improvement of character, and the sanctification of deeds. The goal of all this is that beings who are veiled might attain to the station of the beatific vision, and that defective, dark essences might be illumined.

Subsidiary regulations are the purview of the house of justice.
The wisdom therein is that the times do not stand still. Change and alteration are among the characteristics and exigencies of contingent existence, time and place.

The greatest house of justice makes decisions and laws by virtue of the inspiration and confirmation of the holy spirit.
