This rope goes up this door, I use your imagination with me, it never ends, it keeps going up this door, all the way down the streets until it gets to the Atlantic Ocean, that keeps going into the ocean. And then it gets off the earth and it goes into space. And if you can follow it, you will never find the end just keep going and going and going, has no end.

00:00:33--> 00:00:36

This rope represents

00:00:38--> 00:00:44

the European systems a timeline of your existence. Okay? No, no,

00:00:45--> 00:00:49

this red part of the rope represents your time on Earth.

What you do in this short period of time determines the rest of eternity. It just keeps going and going and going. What do you do in this short period of time determines where you go from.

00:01:12--> 00:01:26

And they work their whole life because they want to take a vacation, or they want to retire here. Or they won't have enough money to move to Florida or whatever plan they have here. And they ignore all this rest of all.

00:01:27--> 00:01:35

And the one person is the one who invests his time here in the red part, so they can enjoy all the time in the gym.

00:01:51--> 00:01:57

a slow death, the minute you're born, you start having a slow death. So it's all about how we use this time.

00:01:58--> 00:02:01

So we can go to the good end for all the time.

00:02:02--> 00:02:09

One year,

00:03:27--> 00:03:29

and for women six months.

So to say it's Apollo 100 times in normal speed, it takes you from two minutes, 15 seconds to two minutes and 30 seconds.

in any order.

00:06:36--> 00:06:37

And every time you say

And it's going to be one person I apologize. And I also apologize for this gift. The condition is if you don't want to use it. If you're not going to
