"My reason for being here is very specific," he said "I&039;m not necessarily here to learn or to evolve ht still happen"

"Because you&039;re here to help," I said

"Yes, exactly," he said

The lineoverish, rakish hair kept my ears mostly warm

"And the rest of us?" I asked

"The rest of you don&039;t remember why you&039;re here, which is kind of the point," he said

"And what is the point?"

"To re-discover yourselves, to re-discover God"

"Why do I need to re-discover God?"

"You don&039;t You can do whatever you want"

I turned to Marion "Does any of this make sense to you?"

She nodded Of course she nodded I&039;ree to it If he said pigs could fly, I&039;m sure she would have happily nodded about that, too

Okay, that sounded a bit catty, didn&039;t it?

Marion said, "We&039;re born with a sense of separation from God for a purpose One of our jobs here is to reconnect with God"

"To reconnect with God?"

"Yes," she said

"Which i to kick start ear "Or that I already knew Him"

"Yes," she said

"Before I was born?" I said

"Yes"

"You&039;re saying I knew God before I was born?" Okay, nowa little

"Oh, yes," she said

Marion looked at rowth occur Only aken to Hi more than they were before"

"I don&039;t under - "

"We are born with separation from God so that we may know separation"

"What does that mean?" I asked "Seriously Helpforward, his breath sin to know God, unless you have not known Hi down?" he asked me

"Probably not, but - "

"Can you know hot without knowing cold? Can you know good without knowing evil? Can you know love without knowing hate?"

"No, but - "

"So it is with God," said Marion "If you bask in God&039;s love for all eternity, then you will never have the experience of not knowing His love"

The line was ain We had attracted a few more listeners

"And ould I want to experience not having God&039;s love? I&039; it seeiven a choice I choose to bask in God&039;s love"

"Tis a good choice," said Arthur

"But you&039;re saying I chose to co in God&039;s love"

"Yes," he said

"And ould I do that?"
