Echoes in Eternity
Echoes in Eternity
I hear your echoes in eternity! I quite enjoyed the year 2000 movie Gladiator but I especially savored one line. “What we do in life, echoes in eternity.” This line was spoken to soldiers who were expected to sacrifice their lives for a dubious cause.
Which Echoes in Eternity are Yours?
This echoes in eternity idea is extraordinarily true. Our actions in life do echo through to eternity and the ramifications of our actions flow back into life from eternity as well. What effects are your current actions having on both your life projections and your afterlife expectations? IE. What echoes in eternity will you hear echoed back from eternity? As the year 2012 approaches, are you sacrificing your future bliss for some transitory and hollow gain?
Maximus the General in Gladiator says to his troops: “What we do in life, echoes in eternity”. But he doesn’t add that what we think in life also resounds in the afterlife. Our actions often run contrary to our thoughts and our words are not echoes of what we thought we said. I’ll offer another quote from the same gladiator movie. “Sometimes I do what I want to do. The rest of the time, I do what I have to.”

Echoing Effect of Echoes in Eternity
Similar to the way sound echoes become confused when bouncing off canyon walls, the echoes in eternity of our thoughts and actions are muddled by the thoughts of others who are thinking about those actions. Are the messages you want sent to eternity being received clearly? The sure way of sending strong echoes in eternity, is to minimize the collateral interference. I’ll give you an example. You wish to sacrifice something for charity, so you give money to a cause – usually the charity that has spent the most on advertizing. That seems fine on the surface but your echoes in eternity are then affected by what the charitable group actually does with your donation.
