I was lying on something soft, my body sunk into it.
When I opened my eyes
everything was so white, so clean. “Where am I?” I thought. “Am I dead?” I sat up and looked around. I felt strangely light headed but not in an uncomfortable way. It felt like I was flying. When my eyes adjusted to the brightness I saw a figure approaching me. I felt no fear but more of rejoice, like seeing an old friend after a long time. I stood up, but fell backwards; only to find a stool behind me, in which I sat. When the figure got closer I saw it was a man. His skin was somewhat of a mixture of white, brown and black, I couldn’t figure out the colour. As he came closer he started to speak. I had never heard the language but I somehow recognized it. To my amazement I could understand it. He was speaking towards me, but not to me. What he said was beautiful. He said “Come here my child, for you have nothing to fear with Me. Walk along side Me and you will never feel the need of anything ever again.” When the man was close enough I stood up. At that moment he was within five meters of me. I asked him “Where are we?” And he answered “We are where you want us to be. We can be anywhere.” I looked around for the second time and my heart nearly skipped a beat; we were in my childhood home, in the living room. The man sat down and so did I. After a short while I asked him “Are you God?” “Yes.” He answered. “But if you are God then I must be dead.” “Must you?” He asked. “For you to be dead you had to be living at some point.” “Are you saying I don’t exist?” “No. On the contrary; you are the only one that exists.” “What are you saying?” “I am saying that you are the only human being in the world.” I did not quite understand what he was talking about and he must have realized that because he said. “You are the only man in the world and every other human is your imagination. What I am telling you now I have told you countless of times.” I started to get very confused and felt a headache coming. “Just to get this straight; I am not dead because I was never alive, I am the only man and everything else is my imagination and you have told me this before? How come I can’t remember it then?” God signed and pointed to the door. “When you walk through that door you will be born again. You will know everything from all your past ‘lives’ but not remember anything from them.” “What is the point in this?” “The point is very simple; when you have lived through everything you will know everything and then you will become God.” “So I will replace you?” “Correct.” “And the only thing I have to do is walk through that door?” I pointed at the door and felt a small shiver lead up my spine. “Also correct.” I stood up in haste and was going to walk to the door when God interrupted me. “But I must warn you; you are automatically walking to your doom.” “I know, but since I don’t really live I don’t really die either, do I?” I said, with a grin, and walked through the door. “Smart kid” mumbled God “I wonder how long it will take him this time to figure out that he is my son.”
