...I do not need God, or the Messiah, do not need
reincarnation or the immortality of the soul, nor some cosmic continuity of
consciousness outside of a body, in order to believe that we live on. We live
on in the effects of our actions that touch other people, in our words, and in
our works. We live on in our children and those who remember us, but tiny bits
of us continue on and on even without memory, as long as human culture
continues, as long as people live by the examples set by others, as long as
having been loved helps us to love....
Excerpt from Do We Live On? by David Ashford as spoken by
the Rev. CJ McGregor, Dec 8, 2013 at 1stUUPB.
