When we think about life, we think about ourselves. All the things we’ve experienced and done and all the things that are yet to come. We spend most our lives just being, doing, thinking, but when it comes to the hard hitting questions we shy away and play coy. We joke, we avoid or we cry. Thinking about the end of this life for many is the end of their exisitence all together. They had a good run and now they’re done.
I wonder though how many people really believe this or feel this to be true. How can we just be born, live and die. It doesn’t make sense. Then there are those who have died and they live to tell the tale that there was nothing but they fail to realise if they are telling about the nothing, then it wasn’t their time to see the afterlife. They weren’t ready to go on to the next stage of their existence, their death did not decide their final breath. We also have those who are spiritual but not religious and those who meditate. There are those who speak to spirits, tell fortunes and even those who really experience life changing moments with beings greater than us and stay silent. Do all these things not become real to them to open their spirits eyes and realise there is more than this or does the thought of a greater expanse frighten them?
So, my questions is what are we doing here? Are we in denial of what was before and what now lies ahead of us. Do we really believe we can fool ourselves into believing that we are no more than dust? That we the internal exist with our external and as it perishes so does our soul? I want to believe there are many who are prepared for life after death, every day they live with the knowledge that they are powerful and in charge of their life and they will make a difference here one way or another. I would also like to believe those who try to make the most of their time here see the bigger picture. What could that be? Maybe that we are more than what we like to say we are. We contain ourselves to the small practices of everyday life, we are bound by excuses not really reach out further into our own destinies.
I guess I just want to know, do we believe we are worth more than we project our life to be or are we just going along with the current? Do we find ourselves embracing change and challenges or are we just comfortable in our space where nothing can happen that we don’t wish to happen. Are we not sure of our full power and potential, what tries to contain us and keep us trapped? Can we break the chains and allow ourselves to full ascend into our eternal self? I can’t answer these questions but I hope we do.
