If Thirst Implies Water, What Does Our Thirst for Eternity Prove?

Start with the observation

A newborn arrives with lungs because air exists, eyes because light exists, and a digestive system because food exists.

Follow the reasoning

1. In the architecture of biology, no innate, universal physical capacity is created for a vacuum.
2. The human intellect, conscience, and capacity for love possess an undeniable, universal thirst for everlasting continuation.
3. To create an unquenchable thirst for permanence without creating an eternal spring would be an inexplicable contradiction in a world of supreme precision.

A passage to hold beside it

“Whoever listens to an awakened conscience will hear it say: forever, forever.” ¹

Read plainly

You have wings of longing because there is an open sky. You hunger for forever because eternity is real.

Try observing this

Sense the longing for un-ending life and love in your chest. Recognize it as the footprint of an eternal world.
