There were two babies in a mother’s womb. One baby asked the other. ‘Do you believe in life after delivery?’
The twin replied, ‘Why, of course. There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what 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 in 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 have need of, but the umbilical cord is so short that life after delivery is to be logically excluded.’
The second baby insisted, ‘Well, I believe there really is something after we are delivered, and maybe it’s different than it is here. Maybe we won’t need this cord anymore.’ ‘More nonsense,’ the first responded. ‘If there is life, then why has no one ever come back from there? Delivery is the end of life, and in the after-delivery there is nothing. 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, and move and have our being. Without Her this world would not, and could not, exist.’
‘Well I don’t see her, so it is only logical that she doesn’t exist,’ the first baby said.
To which the second replied, ‘Sometimes, when you’re in silence and you focus, and really listen, you can perceive her presence, and you can hear her loving voice, calling down to us from above.’
