Gospel Koan 100.3

One Chorus to Another

Koan 100.3

Death is not the end of being but a transformation in ability; a voice transforming from one chorus to another.

Summary Exposition

The central mechanism redefines death not as cessation but as a qualitative shift in an entity's capacity to act and relate—a metamorphosis of its operative power or 'ability'. A clear example is the decomposition of a fallen tree, which ceases to function as a single organism but transforms into the ability to nourish fungi, insects, and soil, thereby joining a new ecological 'chorus'. The profound implication is that being is a continuous, participatory field; what is conventionally perceived as an end is merely a transition between different modes of contribution to the collective unfolding of reality.
