13. The Immortals Among Us

The Judgment

(271) Those who receive the Eternal Heartbeat do not ascend to a separate plane. They do not leave the community. They remain.

But they remain anonymously. Their mortal record — the Reflections they wrote, the traces they left, the life they lived — is public. Anyone can read it and learn from it. But their ongoing existence is private. Their current Reflections appear in the Living Commentary without any mark distinguishing them from any other member's Reflections.

They walk among the living, unseen, equal, still practicing, still growing, still accountable to the Tenets. Immortality is not a graduation from the Covenant. It is its continuation.
