In a mother’s womb were two babies. One asked the other: “Do you believe in life after delivery?”

The other replies, “why, of course. There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later.”

“Nonsense,” says the other. “There is no life after delivery. What would that life be?”

“I don’t know, but there will be more light than here. Maybe we will walk with our legs and eat from our mouths.”

The other says “This is absurd! Walking is impossible. And eat with our mouths? Ridiculous. The umbilical cord supplies nutrition. Life after delivery is to be excluded. The umbilical cord is too short.”

“I think there is something and maybe it’s different than it is here.”

The other replies, “No one has ever come back from there. Delivery is the end of life, and in the after-delivery it is nothing but darkness and anxiety and it takes us nowhere.”

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

“Mother??” 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’re in silence you can hear her, you can perceive her.” I believe there is a reality after delivery and we are here to prepare ourselves for that reality….” (unknown author)

Just as we know there is life after delivery, there is also life after death. Just as “mother” is all around us while we exist in the womb, God is all around us in this life, protecting, providing, and feeding us to maturity.

Human life begins at conception and is manifested as we exit the birth canal. When this physical life is over we can know that our souls will live on through all eternity. For the soul does not know a limited 75 year life.

Perhaps we are here to prepare ourselves for where we will be later. There are only two options for the soul after this earthly existence. One is filled with eternal ecstasy. The other with everlasting pain and suffering. Which do you choose?
