If you fly a thousand million miles into outer space and look back at the Earth you will see a tiny dot just like a grain of sand on the beach against a background of billions of dots. Its sobering to realize that every human thought that ever existed emanated from that dot; every Napoleonic war, the pain of every stone-age man with a toothache came from that dot, every act of terror, death and destruction came from that dot, the pain of every starving child wanting for a spoonful of rice.
Who were we before we were born??? I wonder just how significant we really are. I feel this puts us into context.
Do we really exist before and after death or is it just a trick of the mind making us think there is more?
The AFL course teaches us that the mind does play tricks…
Mark.
