GOD:
“The meaning of life, the reason I made this whole universe, is for you to mature.”
YOU:
“You mean mankind? You want us to mature?”
GOD:
“No, just you. I made this whole universe for you. With each new life you grow and mature and become a larger and greater intellect.”
YOU:
“Just me? What about everyone else?”
GOD:
“There is no one else. In this universe, there’s just you and me.”
YOU:
“But all the people on earth…”
GOD:
“All you. Different incarnations of you.”
YOU:
“Wait. I’m everyone!?”
GOD:
“Now you’re getting it,”
YOU:
“I’m every human being who ever lived?”
GOD:
“Or who will ever live, yes.”
YOU:
“I’m Abraham Lincoln?”
GOD:
“And you’re John Wilkes Booth, too,”
YOU:
“I’m Hitler?”
GOD:
“And you’re the millions he killed.”
YOU:
“I’m Jesus?”
GOD:
“And you’re everyone who followed him."
Silence
GOD:
“Every time you victimized someone, you were victimizing yourself. Every act of kindness you’ve done, you’ve done to yourself. Every happy and sad moment ever experienced by any human was, or will be, experienced by you.”
