In sixty years of existence, I have experienced several events that made me - literally - drop my jaw. Since the day they unexpectedly showed up in my life, I have been mesmerized and fascinated by those events. With the blood of an artist and the mind of an analyst, I unveil the conclusion I came to. Read on, and you be the judge.
In one of my first incursions as a brand new SCUBA diver, I rested at the sea bottom 50 feet under in a staggering environment and inspiring scene of plants, coral, and multi-color fish all living in crystal-clear water. It felt as if it all was brought in from another planet.
Suddenly, a curious six to seven inches flat-bodied fish yearned for a taste of me touching my leg several times; but he did not hurt me. Up close, I could observe the bright yellow color of his body which I have never seen on dry land. His eye was a perfect deep black circle from which two lines in a similarly deep black were separating from each other stretching towards the edges of his body graciously growing wider as both reached his tail.
I still question myself if evolution creates impactful and tasteful combination of colors and design by shear coincidence or simple twists of fate. I was churning thoughts when a strong feeling jolts me: "There is someone out there who created all of this". I could not afford to be breathless, but it felt like I was about to stop breathing. I then began ascending to the surface breaking half of the SCUBA diving rules I was supposed to follow.
Far and away from that part of the world, I was visiting the tallest mountain in Spain. It is a volcano in the island of Tenerife inactive since 1908. After playing in the snow for a week-end, I began to descend toward the warm shores of the island. Suddenly, a glance in the rear-view mirror showed me an image with shapes and colors like a Monet painting.
WOW! The view was impressive and imposing. I had to stop my car.
To my left - and well above the road - the mountain was a silhouette against a deep blue sky. A bright moon was painting with silverish light the mountain's darker side. To my right, and looking down the mountain's slope, flat clouds looked like a gigantic lake of cotton surrounding the mountain. On the horizon, the reddish-orange sun was tinting the surface of that lake of cotton.
That day, I could afford to be breathless. I was mesmerized and fascinated by dramatic magnificence of such imposing scene when the strong feeling jolted me again: "There is someone out there who created all of this". Someone who designed, created, and then presents us with overwhelming creations for us to get His message: "I'm here".
Years go by, and my life unfolds. Other similar experiences occurred like reminders. Systematically, they led me to the same conclusion and the inescapable feeling that jolts me every time: "There is someone out there".
It took sixty years of my life for a woman to show up in my life to explain to me that the receptiveness I had to those experiences was intended. She goes on saying that the strong feeling that jolted me during those events was accurate: "There is someone out there".
She unveils to me that such being - that flawlessly designs and so perfectly creates - is the same being who promises a brand new life. Unlike we are taught - she continues - that new life is not in a limbo where we will get painfully bored for eternity. No, it is not. It is a new life on Earth. It is a new life without illnesses, without people that hate others, and without wars. It is a new life where food, sparkling water, and clean air will all be plentiful. It is a new life where wickedness stands no chance to succeed.
She distinctively points out that such life is meant for the righteous, the honorable, the obedient, and the worthy people who act on those qualities; and LOVE dominates every minute of their lives. I concluded that she meant the gift of such life is meant for people who rightfully deserve it.
"He promises all of it in writing" she said before she vanished from my life as mysteriously as she showed up in it.
Would it be possible that whoever is out there is a big and fat liar offering such a superb life with no intention of giving us any of it? Yes, it is possible; but... is it likely?
Be a good judge, and respond wisely. Your answer affects what will happen to you.
