URL: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are |

"A revelatory primer on what it means to be human and a
mind-opening manual of initiation into the central
mystery of existence, by "perhaps the foremost
interpreter of Eastern disciplines for the contemporary
West"..."
Time to pull it out, dust it off and re-read.

I know this is not a "Bible" board but a quote
from it seems apropos to "The Book" you are
referencing:
"You do not know what will happen tomorrow.
For what is your life? It is even a vapor that
appears for a little time and then vanishes
away" (James 4:14)
It's hard for a healthy child to understand
that concept. I think only those in the last
quarter of a long life and the terminally ill
young can really understand that reality.
I remember when I was little, it seemed
Christmas took years to come around, that
school years lasted forever, as did summer
vacations.
Now Christmas seems to come around every other
month, and my grandchildren who only yesterday
were in diapers are now graduating from high
school!
I hope (I guess it's called faith) that there
is a spiritual afterlife where there is no two
tiered justice system, where the evil will pay
the price for their wrongdoing and the rest of
us experience a spiritual existence of
emotional and intellectual fulfillment and
unimaginable happiness and love.
