When All Worlds Are Dust

"The love of My Mother will endure when all the worlds are dust."

The chapter this verse comes from is "The Veil of Matter," which discusses what is steadfast and Eternal, and what is not. It is written as a dialogue – the Daughter speaking directly to us – where our material reality is likened to a shadow play, one in which we take part:

"...matter is like to a veil drawn before the world of Reality;
and upon this veil fall the shadows of real things, and
these shadows are called material things. And even as
shadows in the world of matter seem without substance,
having two dimensions only, so before the infinite
dimensions of the Real falls the insubstantial shadow of
the material." (v18-20)

"And you, My children, do not alone watch the shadow-play, but have become a part with it, clothing the perfect substance of your souls in garments of mere shadow." (v22)

This chapter cautions us against losing ourselves in the world, chasing endlessly after its ideals and what it deems important.

But this line – “when all the worlds are dust” – is more than just an illustration to make a point. How much time has passed since all things began? How much has passed just on this one planet alone? The love of our Mother is with us still.

“For the things of the world are transient and the joy of them more transient yet. But the love of My Mother will endure when all the worlds are dust." (v34-35)
