It seems obvious to me now that +Mk's Dance of Death has no place in the final scene [of the second book] as at present intended – since there is no death there. But it is also interesting that the spiral moves inwards there, whereas at the end of ['O']* it moves outwards. If the outward passage of the Spiral represents the slow death of Creation, of which birth, growth and dissolution are a part, then its inward passage might represent the other aspect of Death: towards Unity, the Beginning – and also the End, since the spiral itself has no end (the apparent 'ends' in fact proceed into Eternity, where they are One) and does not move: it is the individual who moves, and the apparent direction of his movement reflects perhaps his own view of life and death.
