Settling the BIG Question
Before we can settle the BIG question, we have to define it. Some religionists may approach the question as, where do you want to spend eternity – or, perhaps, do you want to be sure of eternal life, meaning having a life after these bodies we occupy are “laid to rest?”
What if there is a more important question, the answer to which is that either question in the foregoing paragraph is also answered?
That’s the BIG question. The term “eternal life” actually comes from the Bible in the original language, before it got all screwed up in translation to English and other “modern” languages. The term in the original does NOT mean merely life without ending, it means entering that realm in which there is no ending OR beginning; the realm in which time, as we experience it in this “reality” of the 3rd dimension, DOES NOT EXIST. Another English word, forever, further obfuscates and confuses – it comes from a term in the original language which means an indefinite period and has nothing to do with “eternity,” which, again, refers to a different dimension in which TIME, as we experience it, in this dimension, does NOT exist.
We have been programmed to think in terms of TIME and since it is difficult to think apart from time, in this physical realm which is governed by time, we’ve asked the question in such a way that it traps us into thinking that we have to die first before we can enter that realm some refer to as eternal life.
What if it is possible to enter that realm whenever we desire? In fact, what if it is possible to enter eternal life, NOW while still occupying a human container?
Some of us have the radical belief that we never have to experience physical death, but that is a bit “out there” for some folks. We can and will say, however, the only reason some believe that radical prospect is impossible is because they’ve been exposed to and programmed by religious and academic “knowledge” that says it is impossible.
Therefore, the BIG question is posed in this (what if it is possible) scenario. We have found one way that brings the possibility into sharp focus – it’s a meditation in which some of us engage whenever we become aware that we’re caught in the cognitive trap of the conscious part of the mind of these bodies we occupy.*
“We” are YOU WITHOUT LIMITS, an unregistered, non-profit organization with a small group approach to helping one another overcome limitations and obstacles to entering this timeless zone we’ve been taught to think of as “eternity” or “eternal life.”
If you would like a FREE copy of the meditation along with a FREE PDF copy of the YWL handbook for facilitators of small groups (we are all facilitators of small groups and co-learners and your small group can be all in your own mind), please visit: www.youwithoutlimits.life, click on the contact tab, enter your name, your best e-mail address and in the comment box type, HANDBOOK and MEDITATION both will be sent as e-mail attachments, without further strings attached.
* In the handbook you will find a brief explanation of the four parts of the mind based on neurobiological research – the YOU WITHOUT LIMITS approach is to activate an Integrated Mind and to recognize not only the beauty and power of the conscious part, BUT TO RECOGNIZE HOW AND WHY IT IS LIMITED.
