My son, this paltry life lasts for only a few days. Do not think of it as real.

There is an eternal life within you and a resplendent body of light for that life, which is the body you brought with you when you came. The body you see now is just a schoolhouse, and you have come to study in it. It is a rented room.

God, who created you, has sent you here to use your inner wisdom, to study His artistic creations, and through this, to know yourself, know Him, and understand all of everything.

Having studied and passed your examinations, you must return to the beautiful body of light in which you came to the world. The moment you change, your lessons and your research in this school will end and you will receive your position in the kingdom of God, the permanent position for your eternal life.

    They say you can’t
     Tell a book by its cover;
     How true.

     What about
       People?

     Covers tend to wear out
       Over time.

      What are we
       Left with?

      Only the lines and pages and
      What is written on them;
       Now we’re getting closer.

       What you are
        Speaks louder than
        What you say.

        I have a friend
        Who talks
        A blue streak.

        He’s a rather odd
       Looking person, too.

       When I was sick
       He was the only one
       Who came.

       He brought soup, and
        A lot more.

       He showed me his
       wiser pages.
