It is quite possible even that the planet would no longer be able to sustain human life. Probably, the planet eventually would regenerate and produce some other life form. Consciousness would flow into some other life form and express itself through that, whatever that would be.

It seems that most people need to experience a great deal of suffering before they will relinquish resistance and accept - before they will forgive.

Suffering is necessary until you realize it is unnecessary.

If you are in the habit of creating suffering for yourself, then you are probably creating suffering for others too

When this delusion of utter separateness underlies and governs whatever I think, say, and do, what kind of world do I create?

When great loss happens - deaths close to you or your own approaching death - this is an opportunity for stepping completely out of identification with form and realizing the essence of who you are, or that the essence of anyone who is suffering or dying is beyond death.

The eternal present is the space within which your whole life unfolds, the one factor that remains constant. Life is now. There was never a time when your life was not now, nor will there ever be.
