Hope

Where is hope in a world in which physical death is possible? Where is God where death is possible before an individual’s life has run a satisfactory course? If you break off a walnut of dough from a larger piece, it has all the same characteristics as the larger piece; if the walnut of dough is discarded, ‘dough’ has not been destroyed, and still exists. If only the walnut survives, and the main body of dough is discarded, the same is true. It is impossible to die if we are one. The body can die but our consciousness is part of a much greater whole. But what if humanity itself could be destroyed? Humanity—and its corollary, consciousness—arose out of a potential for humanity and manifested in this material plane; whatever happens in this material plane cannot touch the plane in which the potentiality resides. The physicists tell us of infinite multiple universes, perhaps parallel, perhaps consecutive. The potentiality is real—nothing can have no cause—and that potentiality is perfectly safe. That is where we come from; that is who we are: the potential for infinite forms of life. If a particular form of life is destroyed, that does not destroy the potential, nor the potential for future flourishing. Now that has been settled, come back to earth and help awaken others; for those who cannot be awakened, help make them comfortable, because comfort itself is an echo of eternity.
