In a mother’s womb were two babies. One asked the other: “Do you
believe in life after delivery?”
The other replied, “Why, of course.
There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare
ourselves for what we will be later.”
“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 be more light than
here. Maybe we will walk with our legs and eat from our mouths. Maybe we
will have other senses that we can’t understand now.”
The first replied, “That is absurd. Walking is impossible. And eating
with our mouths? Ridiculous! The umbilical cord supplies nutrition and
everything we need. But the umbilical cord is so short. Life after
delivery is to 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
anymore.”
The first replied, “Nonsense. And moreover, if there is life, then
why has no one has ever come back from there? Delivery is the end of
life, and in the after-delivery there is nothing but darkness and
silence and oblivion. It takes us nowhere.”
“Well, I don’t know,” said the second, “but certainly we will meet Mother and she will take care of us.”
The first replied “Mother? You actually believe in Mother? That’s laughable. If Mother exists then where is She now?”
The second said, “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.”
