WE ARE LIKE RAIN, DUST, OR LIGHT
Life is the greatest gift known to man. "Gift" because mankind did not give life to itself. It transferred life from God, to and through itself by attraction, coupling, refraction.
All life is a function of a divine action-reaction, which we do not "know," literally; cannot, but may only experience analogously, indirectly; by observing other life, and by interpolating from all else about our own. That we cannot know in the intellectual sense; but do experience, feel, hear, intuit in the esoteric, abstract, instinctual sense of "knowledge" deepens the human subtext, or, mystery that is descended from, through the life, that is associated with our lives.
This may also explain why the Savior Jesus Christ taught by anatomy, analogy, by example; as only by contrast and comparing could mankind come to fully know God the Father, the Mother, the all.
But because man is descended from and associated with God/life, which is a gift of God to mankind, God's remoteness and infinity's vast "forevermoreness," if you will, have caused some men to believe that they are utterly alone; and are thus unaccountable to all in life or in after life, and to act accordingly.
Their "belief" is counter-knowledge or is a form of counter-intelligence. Whether they are right or wrong, I do not presume to say. But, we all must return from whence we are come, in the end, evaporating like rain, dissipating like dust, or light.
