Not long ago in Italy, a burial mound was discovered with a tomb in it.
The tomb held the skeleton of a man. A thin sheet of beaten gold had been folded over
and placed near his head.
On the sheet of gold were these words — words known to have been spoken by those taking part in the Orphic Mysteries of Greece
some 2500 years ago:
“I am a child of earth and starry heaven but my race is of heaven alone.”
I find these words from such a distant past intensely moving.
I think they are as relevant to us today as they were then. They suggest that we belong to two dimensions of reality — one visible, the other invisible and that this is something we need to know,
particularly as we approach the frontier of death.
