What I Saw, That Changed My Life

I saw that all life is eternal. I saw that I existed only by my connection to this eternal life. I saw that all things exist via the same connection to eternal life. I saw that what I am is animated and given purpose only by who I am. I saw that who I am is eternal. I saw that what I am would perish, but only after it had served out its purpose to who I am. I saw that all things serve the purpose of who I am. I saw that my purpose was to learn, and to understand. I saw that learning was an act of love, and understanding is the compelling force behind the act, and faith is the medium through which the force becomes action. I saw that lying was an act of hate, and ignorance is the compelling anti-force behind every lie, and fear is the medium that the anti-force conjures in order to justify deception. I saw that a great war was being fought between love and hate, understanding and ignorance, faith and fear. I saw that good and evil are deceptions used to keep fearful people ignorant of love. I saw that I was a fearful person.
