After Ganod, out of caution, bought a small silver shrine to honor the fertility goddess, he and Jesus had a long talk about the problems of worshiping things made by mortal hands. When they met a young man discouraged that another worker had been promoted over him, Jesus comforted him by explaining that a person's gift from God, if nourished, makes room for them before illustrious people. And when a Greek philosopher asked Jesus the meaning of the word soul, he said that the opportunity to grow with God and eventually become an eternal soul one with God is freely given to all mortals by our Father in Heaven when they make their first moral choice as a child. that an actual spirit of God enters a person's mind and works to guide their actions, but that it is their responsibility to continually choosing God's will. Jesus explained that people who grow in their ability to do so are assured of survival status, but that people who remain stagnant or who willingly choose against God's will eventually lose any desire to know God. They lose their survival potential and their personalities cease to exist when they die. The ability to self-reflect that arises when a mortal is guided by the divine is what separates us from the animals.
