Spiritual awakening

"Life is as logical a consequence as any other consequence. There is no consequence without a precedent. But if we lived before, why don't we remember it? He who descends into the mine does not take a sundial with him. He who goes hunting doesn't carry a lime brush. He who goes to swim doesn't take a cabbage shredder. Life on earth is a short journey from the land of eternity. We bring only what we need: individuality, inclinations, strengths, abilities, and a spiritual compass pointing in these two main directions: Good and evil."
