Gospel Koan 100.4

Transformation Itself

Koan 100.4

Immortality is a given as each being contributes power—ability—in the never-ending process of transforming.

Summary Exposition

This koan's mechanism is the guaranteed perpetuation of influence, where every entity's 'ability' is eternally inscribed into the ongoing chain of transformation, constituting a functional immortality. A single example is a philosopher whose ideas, after their physical death, continue to shape thought and action for centuries; their ability to influence is not extinguished but is transformed and propagated through the minds and works of others. The implication is that individual finitude is an illusion, as every action and capacity becomes a permanent, causal strand in the indestructible web of being's ceaseless activity.
