The Third Meditation

Remembering the past is the key to discovering the future and building the present.

None of us will have “eternal life” – that is, life as the conscious individual we are, forever. All of us will have “eternal life” to the extent that our genes and deeds survive us and are remembered.

It is important to understand that we, as products of our genetic and cultural heritage, are our ancestors “eternal life”.

None of us will be “reincarnated” – that is, reborn into another human body as the exact duplicate of the individual we are now. However, all of us will be “reincarnated” forever, in many separate streams, as our genes and deeds survive us.

Religion is the process by which we grasp eternity.

Divinity is the attempt by the universe itself to become self-aware.

We have a long time with which to figure all this out.
