Do YOU BELIEVE in life after
delivery?
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…. …read more
