Week 8-Film- Inner Visions and Running Trains

"Who knows what may happen to me at the time of death? I may enter the state of unconsciousness, enter the state of dreams and see railway trains. . . How can I make a claim about my attainment of the Ultimate? The truth is that I know nothing." --Baba Faqir Chand. This passage is nothing but the truth and when you look at this it is really scary. Here is what makes it so scary and hard to understand. What's really hard to understand is that human nature is scared of the unknown. We try to put this front up as if we are not scared but the
reality is that we are scared because we do not know what happens after we die. But what makes it even worse is that we don't know when it is our time to go or how we are suppose to go. I guess thats what really makes it part of the life cycle because it factors all these things in. I mean that some of us are gonna die from cancer or natural causes while others might go in a car accident you just don't know.

But what this leaves me to believe is that there is an ulitmate goal for us and that someone made us what we are today. I dont mean that our parents made us because yes that is a given, I mean that we come from something more than just that. I mean can you answer the question
where we were you in 1915. No you can't but you had to be somewhere it is as if that are memory was erased.
