(294) The Immortals do not stand above.
They walk among the living. Anonymous. Equal. Their mortal traces are public — anyone can read the record of the life that earned them eternity. But their current existence is private. Their ongoing Reflections appear in the Commentary without mark or distinction.
They are proof. Not saints. Not authorities. Not models to be imitated. Simply proof that it can be done. That a life lived in honest commitment to the Tenets can endure. That the promise is not empty.
