Eternity

By John Hall

This thoughtful book explores fundamental questions about life on Earth – how did we get here, and what sustains us? For generations humanity has relied on natural cycles that predate us - seasonal rains to nourish crops, a hospitable climate – but who or what engineered this system perfect for human life?

Author John Hall posits that there may be an omnipresent creative force behind not just the climate, but a wholesome world rich in all we need to thrive. As the human population expands faster than ever, we depend more than ever on natural patterns outside of our control. By pondering the origins of this miraculous ecosystem made for humankind, we gain perspective on an intelligence greater than our own, one that designed the ideal conditions for our eternity on this planet and beyond. This provocative book urges us to reflect on the deeper roots below the surface of life as we know it.

I wish to acknowledge the fortunate upbringing I was given by the best of parents and the fun and happy environment that existed with my brothers and sisters.

Also, I wish to acknowledge my teachers of Reiki being Robin Juniper, Robyn Vincent and Paul Mitchell. Also I benefited immensely from the Teachings of Aikido from Paul Mitchell.

This combination of Reiki and Aikido opened a wider expanse to my mind’s eye.

Our Home the Earth

Spirituality, religion and energy are elements in our environment and all of which have hidden questions difficult to answer. Their roots are set in abstraction and don’t appear tangible and are reliant on a feeling or a faith or heart felt emotion. These elements are at the centre of our biggest mystery of our creation and who created us. These questions have revolved in my mind for a long time. This rock we call earth I feel just didn’t happen by accident; our existence is too perfect. It’s as if a perfect setting was produced for our existence, all is here on this earth to provide for all our needs. The abundance of oxygen, water and the energy from the sun, all we require exists here to live in comfort. The sun rises each morning in the east travels across our sky and then sets in the west, giving us time to work through the day and equally time to rest in the darkness of night. The sun’s rising gives a false impression of the sun moving around the earth. Where in actual fact, our rock, the earth that we are sitting on, is travelling at the speed of 107,000 kilometres per hour (67,000mph) orbiting the sun. Also, our earth to give us night and day is spinning on its axis suspended by nothing at a speed of 1,674 kilometres per hour (1,040 mph). To make things a little more complicated, our flying rock weighs 5.97 billion trillion metric tons. In the darkness of night, the stars become visible. Instead of seeing a distant twinkling light, imagine each light is a rotating rock much larger than the one you are standing on. Strange that for centuries, our earth has maintained these cycles of perpetual motion of spinning on its axis and its path around the sun that supplies us unwaveringly with energy and warmth.

Now when one thinks about these speeds of the earth, they are very significant. Take for example something like most of us have done on country roads and travel at the speed
