“Twins”..
In a mother’s womb were two babies…
One asks the other: “Do you believe in Life after delivery?”
The second replied, “Why, of course! There has to be something after-delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later in the after-delivery.”
“Nonsense”, said the first. “There is no life after delivery. What kind of life would that be?!”
The second said, “I don’t know, but there will surely be more light than in here. Maybe we will walk with our legs and eat meat from our mouths? Maybe we will have other senses and abilities that we can’t understand now?”
The first replied, “That is absurd. Walking is impossible… and eating with our mouths? That’s ridiculous! The umbilical cord supplies us all the nutrition and everything we need.
The second says, “..but the umbilical cord is so short. Perhaps we wouldn’t need the umbilical cord? Anyway, the umbilical cord is short, so therefore life after delivery would be logically excluded.”
The second insisted. “…well I think there is something and maybe it’s different than it IS HERE. Maybe we won’t need this physical cord any longer?”
The first replied, “Nonsense…and moreover IF there IS life after-delivery, then why has no one ever come back from there? No… delivery is the end of life, and in the after-delivery there is nothing but darkness, silence and oblivion. It takes us nowhere.”
“Well, I don’t know,” said the second, “but certainly we will meet our Mother and she will take care of us.”
The first replied, “Mother?! You actually believe in a Mother? That’s laughable. If our Mother exists then where is she now?”
The second says, “SHE is all around us. We are surrounded by her. We are of HER. It is in Her that we live. Without Her this world would not and could not exist.”
Said the first, “well…I don’t see Her, so it is only logical that She doesn’t exist.”
To which the second replied, “Sometimes, when you’re in silence and you focus and you really listen, you can perceive Her presence, and you can hear Her loving voice calling down from above,” – Utmutato a Leleknek
