For some mysterious coincidence, books by authors with my same vision of the Universe very often fall into my lap. Such is the case of Ignace Lepp, originally from Estonia, whose above statement reflects exactly my vision of eternity. In a few words this author describes how the generalities created by different religions leave aside the most important aspect of existence: i.e. that each one of us has the freedom to shape the life that takes place, or not, when we leave this planet. Because although all of us human beings belong to the same race, we are all spiritually different. As a result, not only our path through this life will be profoundly different from one another, but also our next journey will be like no other. However, where lies the existential difference between human beings? Even though we all face similar challenges for survival, the energy with which we face these obstacles cannot be taught nor explained. Each one of us must discover its own path without help. Later, if this mysterious energy is finally found, we will start walking a path of strange beauty and deep mystery. At that moment we start feeling compassion for others, learning at the same time how to respect animals and plants just because they are alive. This is the way in which, slowly but surely, one day we reach the land of mysterious coincidences; we start thinking about someone and they suddenly call us, we need to find a job and a friend tells us about the opening we were looking for, the car starts to malfunction and when it stops, we realize we are in front of a gas station, etc.… It is then that life stops being an endless sequence of challenges and disagreements to become a path with a specific objective: to respect others and take care of our surroundings. We finally understand that whatever we do, even our smallest daily tasks -a greeting, a friendly message, offering help, giving an apology, caressing a pet- are the stones that will pave the road that awaits us when we leave this earth.
