LIFE BEYOND THE WOMB

Do you believe in life beyond the womb?

In a mother’s womb were two babies.

One asked the other: “Do you believe in life beyond the womb?”

The other replies, “Why, of course. There has to be a world outside the womb. May be we are here to prepare ourselves to face that world bravely.”

‘Nonsense,’ says the other. “There is no life beyond the womb. If so what would that be?”

“I am not so sure, but I have a feeling that there will be more light out there than here. May be we will walk with our legs and eat from our mouths.”

The other says, “This is absurd! Walking is impossible. And why should we eat with our mouths?

Ridiculous. It is the umbilical cord that supplies nutrition. The umbilical cord is too short. Therefore, life beyond the womb is unimaginable. To think that there is one would be foolish.”

“I think there is something… and may be different than it is here.”

The other replies, “no one has ever come back to the womb once the life ended in the womb.”

“Well, I don’t know,” says the other, “but surely we will see our mother and she will take care of us.”

“Mother?” do you believe in mother? Where is she now?

“She is all around us. It is in her that we live. Without her there would not be this world.”

“I don’t see her, so it’s only logical that she doesn’t exist.”

To which the other replied, “Sometimes when you are in silence you can hear her, you can perceive her.”

Reflection

• There is always something more than what catches our eye if only you believe in an inner eye to perceive the deep realities that surround us.
• Most often our reasoning and researches tie us to the mere cause and effects but do not lead us to the first cause that caused you and me.
• If you want to bathe in the truth, to be cleansed by it, to be seen by it, be silent and know the TRUTH. When God appeared to Elijah, He appeared to him in the sound of silence in the form a gentle breeze.
