Toward the light

Imagine for a moment that your life ended NOW. No warning, no time to plan. It is just over as you know it. Suddenly you are walking toward a light. You see others also moving in the same direction. At first you notice they are from all different parts of your world. They have different skin colors and nationalities. Different languages, even different beliefs and lifestyles. But as you get closer to the light, you are starting to notice the distinctions are being lost in how you are all different. And by the time you arrive at the source of light somehow you are all the same. Reduced to your essence. You look around and try to find something to distinguish you from the rest, but there is now nothing. You are all the same. Beings without separation.
Conversation has started, you are asked as everyone else is, to talk about what you have done with your existance. How did you interact with the others souls who stand with you now. It is difficult to explain your actions, as national origin, skin color, religion and all those other earthly dividers are irrelevant. All that matters is how you treated and were treated by your fellow human souls.
How can you justify your actions now? What will you say? You rejected someone for what reason? You caused someone pain because they were different. You approved the mass killings why? You felt somehow chosen or vidicated in your actions because you were from where, because you believed what? But here they are standing with you and now you are all the same. You all need to have reasons for your actions and you can't use those earlthy dividing lines anymore. How will it work. What can you say?
Are your reasons for your actions justified in the light. Can you explain?
Then why do we use them now. Why can't we understand that these things are excuses for our behavior not reasons to justify our actions. We are back now, walking here in our world. With the light gone, the divisions are back too. How will we react?

This is great. I am gonna send it to my friend.We discussed this very thing today at work. I really have trouble undestanding why people believe they have the right to judge others,based on color,religion,relationships.Someone asked me today if I was going to keep living in sin?The same person,while agreeing with me that we did'nt have the right to judge others by our beliefs.
