Eternal life is thus a divine adventure of love. Darkness in this adventure constitutes the essential determining background against which the light manifestations of the adventure of love can be revealed. Without this background there would be no adventure, no sensory perception, no experience, no universe. Everything would lie in an eternal, lifeless night of non-manifestation. But life is not a lifeless night of non-manifestation. It is, as we have seen, an all-outshining eternal adventure of light. But millions upon millions of people on earth have no idea that they live in a divine fairy tale world, the very highest work of art of life, built up of darkness and light in all the vast number of aspects of these two contrasts. They wander on the eternal and everlasting Road of Life but do not see the fairy tale. They do not see the Godhead or themselves as one with him. They do not see their own immortality or appearance as the master of life beyond time and space, and thereby as identical with infinity and eternity. They experience light and darkness in time and space dimensional details and believe themselves to be one with these built-up or created phenomena. They do not see the creator. They believe themselves to be one with physical matter. Life for them is a mystery and they do not know what its solution is or where that solution is to be found. They believe themselves to be one with their physical birth and death, and do not understand that they do not at all live in this world of matter or dust, but that this world exists only as material for the creation of consciousness or the experience of life, and that through this world they can experience their immortality or eternal sovereign existence beyond time and space. Without matter, no movement; without movement, no creation; without creation, no experience; and without experience, no life.
