It is more accurate to say that life “ever is” rather than “ever lasting.” Life exists in an ever-present state. It is … never destroyed. Life continually evolves itself, expressing in various dimensions, forms and conditions. Our view of life is too often limited to the particular expressions that we witness in the world, remaining oblivious to its eternally present nature that supersedes all physical, mental, and material forms.
