So, I was born, I lived and now I’m dead.
What’s it all mean?
Why was I born?
Why did I live?
Why did I live when and where I did?
What about the choices that I made in my lifetime
and why?
Am I ready to be held accountable for every action
and thought I
have ever had in my lifetime?
Now
that I have crossed beyond human life and am sitting before
God
himself, as he waits to hear my first words, what will I say?
Wait…
Before
I could say anything, my entire life, from the moment of my
first breath
to the last gasp of air I drew into my lungs flashed through
the memory of
my very soul. I was now simultaneously
conscious of
every single
thought, word spoken or unspoken and action or inaction
that I ever
took.
No
matter how good I thought that I might have been in life before
my death, is
it even possible to stand before my very Creator and not be
ashamed now
that I know that He knows everything I do?
My
prior thoughts and/or beliefs about religion, atheism, Christ,
Mohamed, David
or anything else now mean nothing. I am
sitting before
God himself
and now know without question that he is definitely real,
making denial
no longer possible in any way.
In
the most immeasurable least bit of the fastest moment within a
moment and in
the most perfect clarity, I finally understood that I am a
part of the
One that is God and that nothing in creation, including
myself, is
ever apart from God.
Me,
the being that I now am, has had every barrier of ignorance,
racism, hate
and anger removed from within me.
Sitting
before God himself, I now had experienced the Mt. Everest
of
epiphanies. I realized that even though
I possess the memories of the
entire life I
just lived, it is void of every single emotion I had ever
experienced,
except for one, love.
As
this epiphany now grows and becomes my new reality, I realize
that my soul
is not new and I have added to the very purpose of it, which
was to gain
more knowledge and experience in the never-ending quest for
complete
wisdom within God and the absolute perfection that his love is.
Why
am I telling you this? The answer is
simple. I experienced it,
and so have
you. The only difference between you
and I is that I
remember it
and have been given the opportunity to share it with you.
I
have skipped ahead and just told you the ending. However, the
ending is
actually only the beginning and this is the beginning of my
