Get It Here



“Eternity is not the
hereafter - this is it.
If you don't get it here
you won't get it anywhere.”

Let the world say Amen!

Perfect combination of picture and words once again my sister.

The realisation of the 'nowness' of Eternity...

There is no more beautiful awakening...

For your light, For your love,

I give thanks,

Maithri

Maithri,
Your gratitude lifts me to the highest heavens where my Soul sheds the burdens of the world.

Thank you.

Your quote made me go find this:

"...if materialists do not believe in the existence of the soul, their unbelief does not prove that there is no such realm as the world of spirit. The very existence of man's intelligence proves his immortality; moreover, darkness proves the presence of light, for without light there would be no shadow. Poverty proves the existence of riches, for, without riches, how could we measure poverty? Ignorance proves that knowledge exists, for without knowledge how could there be ignorance?

"Therefore the idea of mortality presupposes the existence of immortality -- for if there were no Life Eternal, there would be no way of measuring the life of this world!"

‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Paris Talks, p. 92

Your two last posts are great, and also match themes...diamonds are for eternity. :)

I find this so liberating. I know some people find the idea of an afterlife comforting, but for me "this is it" = freedom.

I loved the picture too :)

Hello Alexys,

What a cute little girl in her ballerina dress *tender face*! It makes me wanna be a mom :)...

Looking at that beautiful child I transferred the word Eternity to immortality...leaving descendants is being immortal :).
Joseph Campbell's quote is a very good one...but I don't know why it transported me to eternity on a whole different level...how odd is that?

Eternal Cheers

Uber,
Diamonds are not as forever as love. Love is eternal. :D

Alexys Fairfield 2/26/2008 7:16 PM  

GS,
I agree. You are right. We can't really be concerned about what lies after this life, we have to experience it now.

The picture IS adorable.

Alexys Fairfield 2/26/2008 7:22 PM  

Max,
Isn't she sweet? She is already dressed for your wedding. She won't upstage you though - she would never think of doing that. She loves you.

"Looking at that beautiful child I transferred the word Eternity to immortality...leaving descendants is being immortal :)."

Leaving the world with descendants AND love.

"Joseph Campbell's quote is a very good one...but I don't know why it transported me to eternity on a whole different level...how odd is that?"

Because eternity IS a whole different level.

Eternally Yours Cheers

Give your brain a brerak.

Huggy Cheers Right Back
