A SHORT BUT BRILLIANT STORY THAT WILL MAKE YOU THINK DEEPLY\u2026<\/p>\n
He was on his way home when he had a car accident. Nothing special, but the crash was fatal. He left behind a wife and two children. It was a painful death. The doctors did everything in their power, but it didn't work. Your body was so broken, it was better that it didn't work out - trust me. And here you met me.<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u201cBut what\u2026 what happened?\u201d He asked. "Where am I?"<\/p>\n
\u2022 "You died," I explained to you, without unnecessary rambling.<\/p>\n
\u2022 "There was a\u2026 truck, he served and\u2026"<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u201cYes,\u201d I confirmed.<\/p>\n
\u2022 "I\u2026 I'm dead?"<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u201cUm, but don't feel bad about it. Everyone dies,\u201d I said.<\/p>\n
\u2022 He looked around. Nothing but you and me. \u201cWhat is this place?\u201d he asked. "Is this life after death?"<\/p>\n
\u2022 "Something like that," I replied.<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u201cAre you God?\u201d you asked.<\/p>\n
\u2022 "Mah," I answered you, "I am God."<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u201cMy children\u2026my wife,\u201d you said.<\/p>\n
\u2022 "What about them?"<\/p>\n
\u2022 "Will they be okay?"<\/p>\n
\u2022 "That's what I like to hear," I said. \u201cHe just died and you're worried about your family. It's a good thing here."<\/p>\n
He looked at me in astonishment. I didn't look like God to you at all. I looked more like a man. Or maybe a woman. Perhaps some obscure authority. More like a grammar teacher than the almighty.<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u201cDon't worry,\u201d I said. \u201cThey'll be fine. Children will remember you as the perfect father. They didn't have time to develop contempt for you. Your wife will cry outwardly, but inwardly she will be secretly relieved. Let's be honest, your marriage was falling apart. If it's any consolation, she'll feel very guilty that she's relieved you're dead.''<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u201cOw,\u201d you said. "What follows next? Will I go to heaven or hell, somewhere\u2026?'<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u201cNothing of the sort,\u201d I said. "You will be reborn."<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u201cAh,\u201d you exclaimed. "So the Hindus were right."<\/p>\n
\u2022 "All religions are right in their own way," I said. "Come with me."<\/p>\n
\u2022 And you followed me, we walked together through nowhere. He asked me "Where are we going?"<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u201cNowhere really,\u201d I said. "It's just nice to walk while talking."<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u201cWhat's the point then?\u201d You asked again. \u201cWhen I'm reborn I'll be a blank canvas, right? Baby. All my experiences and experiences, all that I have done in past lives. Won't it matter?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u201cNot exactly!\u201d I corrected you. "You have within you all the experience and knowledge of your previous lives. You just don't remember them right now.\u201d I stopped walking and grabbed your shoulders. "Your soul is far more magnificent, beautiful and vast than you can imagine. The human mind can only hold a fraction of what you really are. It is like dipping your finger in a glass of water to find out whether it is cold or warm. You put a little part of yourself into the court, and when you take it back to you, you gain all the experience it brings. You have spent the last 48 years as a human being and you have not yet fully expanded to experience the other vast part of your consciousness. If you stay here long enough, you'll start to remember everything. But there's no point in doing that between different lives.''<\/p>\n
\u2022 "How many times have I been born then?"<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u201cOh, a lot. Countless. And in many different lives.\u201d I explained. "This time you will be a Chinese village girl in 540 AD."<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u201cWait, what?\u201d you stammered. "You're sending me back in time?"<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u201cWell, technically, yes. But time as you know it exists only in your reality. Where I come from, things are different.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u201cWhere are you from then?\u201d you asked.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Oh sure,\u201d I explained to you \u201cI come from somewhere. Somewhere else. And there are others like me out there. I know you want to know what's in there, but let's be honest, you couldn't.'<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u201cOh\u2026,\u201d you said, disappointed. \u201cBut wait. If I am reborn in different places at different times, I might meet myself at some point.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2022 "Of course. It happens all the time. But in both lives you are only aware of your own life line, and you do not understand what is happening.<\/p>\n
\u2022 "Then what's the point of all this?"<\/p>\n
