Meditation: (7) That when all the pre-existent Souls who have been incarnated here have arrived at
perfection, the Evil Angels are also to be raised, and all lives will be merged into The
Deity by the Kiss of Love from the Mouth of the Holy One, and the Manifest Universe
shall be no more, until again vivified by the Divine FIAT.

Are there a finite number of souls created at one time?
It was said in a previous statement that perfected souls are absorbed into Deity.
This means the souls "die" and are not truly immortal. I would think that what dies must have been born. I'm assuming here that "merged into The Deity" indicates dissolution.
Again, as in a previous lesson, does the animus mundi (soul of the cosmos) die?
Cosmologically, this is an important question.
I suspect that if the cosmic soul "dies", it would die at the end of time itself.
It's odd for me to conceive of the "end of time".
My assumption here is that there is a level of cosmology where time does not exist. I would call this Eternity. The Platonic realm of the Mind and Forms. The roots of Deity exist within this eternity. Neoplatonically, one could conceive of souls being re-absorbed into the cosmic soul and perhaps others being born. It would be VERY odd to say that time would end. There are two levels of the temporal universe in Neoplatonism. First there is a temporal realm without space. Then there is physical reality. Perhaps there is a realm between them called nature. Souls are rooted within this upper temporal, non-spacial realm. Their various layers of vehicles or sheathes allow them to experience natural/spacial reality. It's much easier for me to conceive of the spatial universe ending and being reborn than it is for me to conceive of the temporal, non-spatial realm to come to an end.
What is "evil"?
For me, evil is a deliberate turning away from the Source and demands that its own individuality take priority over others. This is usually accompanied by a declaration that there is no underlying Unity/Deity/Ground-of-Being. If the existence of Deity is acknowledged then it is thought of as being completely ontologically separate.
Are "Evil Angels" really evil or are the fulfilling a cosmic, evolutionary function by providing temptation to us so we can grow beyond it. Muscles don't grow without weights to work against.
