"The Door"


    Whole families over centuries and millennia have passed this way.  They have come and gone, each and every one of them.  Any whom were left behind waited only the smallest, insignificant amounts of time before they too followed upon the heels of their own loved ones into the unknown.  We all go through that door.  Millions.  Billions.  Trillions when also counting intelligent and spiritually guided non humans.

    Where we come out, is for our innermost souls to know.  But it is strangely comforting to know that we all pass through the same world, and nobody escapes the experience.  Somehow, the fact that all life must go through that door is a relief to me and I believe to most people.  It’s a relief because it is obvious that we are designed to do this, to be here temporarily and then to continue on.  And if we are important enough to have been designed this way -- by God, nature, or some brilliant intelligence as far above our awareness of life as we are above the ant's -- it is doubtful that the purpose was simply to throw us away without thought or due consideration.  And if due consideration has brought us this far, to the door of infinite mystery, I believe our creator has planned for us to go further.

    So, even though we all must pass through this door of mystery, we shall pass into something right, not wrong or accidental.  And we shall probably meet up with each other on the other side.  And our love here in the physical realm ought to keep us together in the spiritual realms beyond that door.
