The Inevitable Road All Must Follow - A Life Time Of Experiences That End
From the time of our birth, we begin our indoctrination into a temporary existence we know as life—an existence limited by a beginning and an end, integrated within the passage of time.
We accumulate moment-by-moment experiences, building on memories and relationships that reinforce our perception of reality. But is it truly real when considering the amount of time we live compared to the amount of time we do not?
Whether there is an experience after life or there is nothingness, the simple reality is this: the time we spend in life is not even measurable against the time we do not. So, what is real?
A thousand years ago, a little boy watched an old man pass by—stooped, fragile, and weathered by life. He wondered what it must feel like to carry so many years, but the thought soon faded. Ahead of him stretched what felt like an endless lifetime, rich with possibilities yet to be lived.
Decades later, that same boy had built on relationships, forged memories, and felt the steady rhythm of seasons passing until he became that old man. But now, even that full lifetime has itself been gone for a thousand years… as time marches on, indifferent and unbroken.
And so it is for all who ever draw breath—those who ever lived, those living now, and those yet to live will all share in the same inevitable fate….the end of life and then….eternity.
Those who lived a thousand years ago experienced childhood through old age and for a thousand years are no more
One thousand or one hundred years ago….the same will occur over and over again
Well into the future….All yet to experience the journey of life will also face the inevitable end.
But facts are facts: eternity is not a distant theory… It’s a certainty. And no matter where we are on our life journey… young or old, searching or settled… each of us will one day come face-to-face with that reality. There’s no escaping it. Eternity is forever.
As we journey through the passage of time within the reality of life, there is an instinctive tendency to overlook the reality of death. Even as we approach this inevitable fate, we cling to what’s left of our lives, allowing it to overshadow the reality of the end. But whether there is anything to experience after life remains the greatest mystery that man must face….
AND FACE IT HE MUST
And that realization brings us to the very heart of this book: not only to explore the meaning of life, but to confront the reality of the forever that comes after….
But what is forever? We know our bodies turn to dust, and the individuality that defines us—our thoughts, emotions, identity… fades away into that unknown forever.
THERE IS NOTHING
THERE IS NOTHING
LEAING TO ONLY TWO IRREFUTABLE POSSIBILITIESS
If there is an ongoing existence after the end of life then, it will be of a spiritual nature.
Upon death, the body fades away leaving us with an eternal unknown….our spiritual fate.
And so, reason draws us to its final conclusion: that our true nature is spirit, temporarily confined within a passing physical form.
THE TRUE MEANING OF LIFE
What We Do Here Impacts What Happens After
At the end, every worldly pleasure, every ounce of wealth, and every trace of who we once were will fade into nothingness. If there is something beyond this life, it will not be of flesh and bone, nor will it rely on eyes to see, ears to hear, or a brain to understand. It will be a perception unlike anything imaginable.
Whatever form we take, the real question remains: When your spiritual eyes open… what will you see?
Will you behold a beautiful, eternal existence—or step into a journey of unending regret? Regret in life can be mended, but regret in eternity is a consequence without end.
