The second entirely new frontier of happiness in tomorrow's Neotech Era came from discovering the preciousness of life. In the 20th century, not until a loved one died would one fully know the preciousness of life. Suddenly that person would become enveloped in a helplessness that no matter how much he longed to spend time with his lost loved one, no matter how much he hurt inside to be together just once more, he never, ever would spend another living moment with his lost loved one, not even one more good-bye embrace. Gone was everything: her funny little gestures when happy, her smiling eyes and lips, her soft hands that would hold onto him whenever they were together. Gone was her tenderness and her love that was always there for him. Gone were all the little things they used to do together. All was gone. ...He lied alone at night, remembering her...swallowed by the sadness of life.
During the emotional Third Vision, I became full of feelings. For the first time, I could feel down to my bones the irreplaceable preciousness of life, and in turn, I deeply cherished every moment I had -- both with my loved ones and with myself. For several weeks after my Third Vision, I held onto those precious feelings. Even the littlest things I did with my loved ones or on my own took on great pleasure. I felt every fleeting moment's preciousness; I savored those moments knowing once they were gone, I would never have them again. For several weeks following my Third Vision, that went on. I felt joy in everything I did, even routine tasks!
I saw ordinary people tomorrow savor the little moments like I did as precious gifts. In that new era, people felt joy for being alive, especially every time they were with their loved ones, yes, even during the most routine situations.
Perhaps the best insight I can give you now of the power of the preciousness is to first imagine you were given two years to live. Now, imagine how you would suddenly absorb every bit of love and happiness out of every living moment with yourself and with your loved ones. Under the new code, we did exactly that: we absorbed love and happiness from every moment, but for our whole lives. People's journeys through life became manyfold more meaningful. Their lives were filled every single day with warmth as they savored the preciousness of all their moments with their loved ones and with themselves. When the end came, they knew they had absorbed every last drop of joy and happiness from life.
The third new frontier of happiness under the new code reached back to the bigger-than-life excitement you experienced only in your childhood. Adults got back those childlike bigger-than-life sensations again. Let us take a reminiscent look back at bigger-than-life childhood. Here is what was shown to me during the Third Vision:
A young boy and his little brother awoke early. They poked their heads through the screen of their tent and looked across the yard to Grandma and Grandpa's large beach house. Once a year they got to come here. Three of their cousins would arrive today, two tomorrow, and four the day after. Overcome by excitement, the boys got up and went inside. Grandpa was already drinking coffee at the breakfast table. The boys listened with fascination as he told them about ice-age rocks scattered throughout the woods on the other side of the railroad tracks. Soon their dad came downstairs, ready to go jogging with the boys. They went out the back door onto the beach. As they jogged along the beach, exciting thoughts rushed through the boys' imagination: After breakfast with Grandma and Grandpa, they would swim and body surf all morning. Then, they would go into town to the toy shop with Grandma. By the time they got back, their three cousins would have arrived! Of course, the first thing to do after the cousins arrived -- the yearly tradition of building the big beach bonfire. After that, a picnic barbecue. And after the barbecue, then off to the clubhouse to watch cartoons and meet the other neighborhood children visiting their grandparents. And tonight, Uncle Chuck promised to take all the kids to Sunset Park farther up the beach to go on the carnival rides and play the games. Wow, everything here was bigger than life. Two whole weeks in this fairy tale! ...As the exhausted boys lay in the tent that night with their sister and cousins, the soft rumble of a train in the distance rocked them to sleep.
