Your perception is all that you really know. You have been taught to be afraid of what you dont know. You have fear of opening your mind to anything but what has been drummed into your brain from your family, friends and your religion. And that is okay. We are all who we are from our past. Some of us hold onto that forever, and some of us move on and grow and change.
There is so much out there to wonder about. If you chose to still believe the one and only thing that you know, then that will be your life. It is scary to let go of all you know. If you can open your mind and make a choice to ask questions, that maybe have no clear cut answers, then maybe you will see something that you never thought possible. Life is really not black and white, or cut and dry. There is not one simple answer for all mankind. We must each chose our own path through this place called life.
All I can say is that there is no one place to receive "sayings of everlasting life". None of us will know that ellusive "truth" until our life is over, if we find out at all. Until then, we can all only live off of the experiences that we've had in our lives. We can gather from people around us, from nature, from all religions and ideas. If we refuse to gather from any source but one, then we are shut into our own dark world.
Enjoy your search, or enjoy staying put.
Best to you,
Stacey
