What It Means
This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "Death, as the human consciousness understands it, pain and sorrow, loss and disaster, joy and distress, are only such because man, as yet, identifies himself with the life of the form and not with the life and consciousness of the soul..." in the context of "Alice Bailey, Esoteric Psychology II, (1941) p. 76" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
