Why did God make life short?
It’s a question that haunts both the grieving and the grateful. If God is eternal, why are our lives so brief? The answer, it seems, is not rooted in punishment—but in purpose. Life's brevity is not a cosmic mistake. It's a divine invitation. An invitation to feel deeply, choose wisely, love fiercely, and grow spiritually in ways that eternity would not require.
In this five-part conversation series, guided by Dolores Cannon, we explore how five groups of spiritual thinkers—from Jesus to mystics, philosophers to afterlife researchers—reveal what the soul gains from a short, temporary life on Earth.
These are not just reflections. They are reminders. Your life may be short, but your soul is not.
(Note: This is an imaginary conversation, a creative exploration of an idea, and not a real speech or event.)

Topic 1: Designed by God – Why Physical Life Has an Ending, but the Soul Does Not

Moderator: Dolores Cannon
Speakers: Jesus Christ, C.S. Lewis, St. Augustine, Michael Newton, and Rumi
[Dolores Cannon opens]
Welcome, dear souls. Today’s question has lingered in the hearts of seekers for millennia: Why did God design life on Earth to be finite—while the soul continues forever? Was this contrast intentional? What deeper truth does it reveal?
Let’s begin with this:
“Why do you believe God designed earthly life to be finite rather than eternal?”
Michael Newton:
In my work guiding clients through hypnotic regressions into their soul memories, I repeatedly saw that finiteness on Earth was by design. Souls choose limited lives because challenge, pressure, and mortality create urgency and growth. An eternal life on Earth would dull progress. Souls evolve more quickly when there's a sense of time running out—because that’s when we prioritize love, learning, and healing.
St. Augustine:
God, in His perfect wisdom, made this world temporal so that we would not mistake it for our true home. The finite awakens longing. “You have made us for Yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in You.” Earth teaches us to yearn for the eternal not through permanence, but through passing.
Jesus Christ:
This world is not meant to last forever. It is written: “Heaven and Earth shall pass away, but my words shall never pass away.” Life’s brevity brings focus. When people know their days are numbered, they turn their hearts to what truly matters—love, forgiveness, and unity with the Father. I did not come to make this life infinite, but to open the path to everlasting life beyond.
C.S. Lewis:
If we had eternal life in this world, it would become a prison. The weariness of time would crush us. Instead, God gives us the longing for eternity without allowing us to settle here. Earth is a place of shadows, hints, and echoes. The finite is not a defect—it’s a signal. We are meant to move through, not dwell forever.
Rumi:
The reed flute weeps because it was cut from the reed bed. That separation—the pain of finiteness—awakens music. God designed this life to be short, not to punish, but to teach the soul its song. Without the wound of departure, there would be no desire for return. We are drops tasting separation, seeking the ocean again.
[Dolores smiles warmly.]
Beautiful truths. Now, let’s go deeper:
“What is the spiritual benefit of death being part of the design?”
Rumi:
Death is the wedding night of the soul. What is a chrysalis but a tomb before the wings? When God wove death into this dance, He did not bring sorrow but transformation. It is the robe we must shed to wear the garment of light.
C.S. Lewis:
Death is not merely an end; it is a beginning. It makes Earth meaningful precisely because it is not forever. The transience gives rise to urgency—to love now, to forgive now, to seek truth now. Death pushes the soul to take its training seriously.
Jesus Christ:
Death is not the enemy—it is a threshold. In my own passage through death, I revealed the truth: the soul does not die. It returns to the Father. What’s born of the flesh is flesh, but what’s born of the Spirit is eternal. Death teaches us that nothing here can satisfy the eternal hunger within. Only the love of God can.
St. Augustine:
In death, pride dies. It humbles the soul. All earthly power, wealth, and pretense fall away. The soul stands naked before God—ready for truth, not illusion. This is why death is mercy. It brings clarity where distraction once ruled.
Michael Newton:
From the soul’s perspective, death is just a transition. In fact, many souls describe death as a return to light, not an end. We enter a deeper review, a gathering of insights. It’s a checkpoint. And it’s precisely because life ends that we reflect, reconcile, and elevate. Endless life would mean endless avoidance. Finitude creates accountability.
[Dolores nods, her voice softens.]
Now for the final reflection:
“If physical life is finite by divine design, how should we live while we are here?”
Jesus Christ:
Love as if you don’t have tomorrow. Forgive seventy times seven. Feed the hungry. See the face of God in the least of these. Every moment is sacred. Use your time to build treasures in Heaven, not merely on Earth.
Michael Newton:
Live aligned with your soul contract. You chose this life for a reason. If you feel an inner nudge—toward healing, toward purpose, toward compassion—it’s your soul remembering. Follow it. This life is not about perfection; it’s about growth.
Rumi:
Dance. Love wildly. Let every moment break you open. This life is not your cage—it’s your kiln. Let yourself be softened by grief, expanded by joy. God designed you to bloom under pressure. Don’t waste the wind.
St. Augustine:
Seek God in everything—in the cry of a child, in the silence of dusk, in your own aching heart. Life is short, yes—but long enough to choose eternity. Walk the narrow path. Love truth. Live ready.
C.S. Lewis:
Don’t make your home in the shadows. Be kind. Be brave. Live knowing this is not the end, but the foyer to something far greater. Time is short not because it is cruel—but because it is precious.
[Dolores concludes]
Thank you, beloved souls. God designed life to end—not to break us, but to wake us. He did not trap us in time; He invited us to taste it, learn from it, and move beyond it. May each of us use this gift wisely.
Topic 2: God Designed a Veil – Finite Earth, Infinite Soul

Moderator: Dolores Cannon
Speakers: Rev. Sun Myung Moon, Søren Kierkegaard, Michael Newton, Thich Nhat Hanh, and Dolores Cannon
[Dolores Cannon opens]
Welcome again, dear friends of soul and spirit. Today we explore the mysterious yet purposeful veil God placed over our human awareness. Why don’t we remember our spiritual origins clearly? Why does Earth feel so disconnected from eternity, when our souls are eternal? Let’s begin with this:
“Why did God design Earth life with a veil—why can’t we remember our spiritual origin clearly while we’re here?”
Rev. Sun Myung Moon:
God created this world as a training ground for love. Our life on Earth is meant to be limited in time, even in His original plan. The veil exists not to punish, but to guide us—to help us grow through responsibility, relationships, and freedom. If we remembered everything from the spirit world, our love might be artificial. God wants us to love without remembering Heaven, to become mature sons and daughters through choice—not automatic awareness.
Michael Newton:
In the countless regressions I conducted, the veil was always described as intentional. Souls choose it before birth. If we fully remembered the spirit world, we wouldn’t take Earth life seriously. We’d treat it like a dream. The veil is what makes Earth meaningful—because we feel separated from home, we strive to rediscover it through love, learning, and courage.
Thich Nhat Hanh:
The veil is not a punishment—it is the mist before the morning sun. It teaches us presence. When we forget the eternal, we can rediscover it in a leaf, in a breath, in the face of a loved one. We walk in fog so we may awaken to light. God designed the veil not as concealment, but as invitation.
Søren Kierkegaard:
God hides Himself to protect our freedom. Were He too visible, faith would become compulsion. The veil is a gift of divine restraint. When we suffer or doubt, we are driven to choose—either despair, or a leap toward meaning. In that leap, the soul grows. The veil keeps faith sincere.
Dolores Cannon:
I’ve guided thousands through hypnosis who said the same thing: “I chose to forget—so I could remember with meaning.” The veil allows Earth to feel real. It gives us contrast, suspense, depth. The forgetting is sacred because the remembering becomes transformational.
[Dolores smiles gently.]
Let’s move deeper:
“What is the spiritual purpose of the veil, and how can we begin to lift it while alive?”
Thich Nhat Hanh:
The veil lifts with silence. Walk gently. Breathe deeply. Each moment you are fully present, you remember. You touch the eternal not with memory, but with stillness. You don’t break the veil—you dissolve it with awareness.
Rev. Sun Myung Moon:
The veil exists to allow true love to be chosen freely. And yet, it is not permanent. Through a life of selfless living, filial piety to God, and loving others more than oneself, the veil begins to part. Originally, human beings were meant to mature on Earth and enter the spirit world with joy. The Fall made the process more difficult, but not the time limit itself. Even now, the veil lifts through faith, sacrifice, and love.
Michael Newton:
The veil is part of a soul’s curriculum. It keeps the game real. But it softens when we meditate, love deeply, experience déjà vu, or dream with clarity. Often, near-death experiences or deep grief thin the veil. It’s not a wall—it’s a filter that teaches presence.
Søren Kierkegaard:
Despair cracks the veil. When we confront meaninglessness and do not flee—we become capable of vision. Faith is the eye that sees past the fog. The veil’s purpose is not to trap—but to push us into authentic confrontation with ourselves and with God.
Dolores Cannon:
The veil lifts when you start trusting your inner nudges, your synchronicities. Soul memory leaks through in dreams, déjà vu, deep meditations, and even in art or writing. You were never meant to remember it all—but you were absolutely meant to remember enough.
[Dolores now leans in, her voice more intimate.]
Now, one final reflection:
“If we are eternal souls living briefly under a veil, how should we live during this short life on Earth?”
Michael Newton:
Live like you designed this life yourself—because you did. Trust the instincts that tug at your heart. Heal the patterns you came to heal. Earth is a stage for rapid soul growth. Don’t waste the pain. Use it.
Thich Nhat Hanh:
Live like a flower—fully present, giving fragrance without question. Smile to the miracle of breath. Hug as if it’s your last moment. Each act of mindfulness is an act of remembrance. Live not as a prisoner of time, but as a child of the eternal.
Søren Kierkegaard:
Live with inwardness. Let your choices reflect eternity even when the world mocks you. This life is not long, but it is serious. You are building the architecture of your soul. Live with trembling, and with trust.
Rev. Sun Myung Moon:
Live with the heart of a parent. Live for the sake of others. That is how the veil dissolves and Heaven begins. Your time on Earth is limited, but that was always part of God’s plan. Use this time to perfect love. And when your life ends, your soul will carry that love into eternity.
Dolores Cannon:
Live like someone in a divine simulation—with freedom, yes, but also with purpose. Your soul came here to learn, to love, to remember. Don’t fear the veil. You chose it. And you’re already starting to see through it.
[Dolores concludes]
God did not design the veil to keep us from truth—but to help us discover it more deeply. Life is short, and the veil softens the impact of that truth. But behind it, your soul knows the way. And it’s already remembering who you really are.
Topic 3: A Divine Design for Passage – Earth as the Soul’s Starting Point

Moderator: Dolores Cannon
Speakers: Moses, Rumi, Dolores Cannon, Paramahansa Yogananda, Michael Newton
[Dolores Cannon opens]
Welcome again, travelers of time and spirit. Today we turn to the idea that Earth was never the end goal—but a starting point, a passage designed by God. We ask: Why would an eternal soul begin its journey in such a fragile, finite world?
Let’s begin here:
“Why did God design Earth as a temporary world rather than the soul’s permanent home?”
Moses:
The wilderness was never meant to be the Promised Land, but it was part of the way. So too is Earth—designed as a desert with manna, thorns, and revelations. God gave us this terrain to test the heart, forge obedience, and prepare us for the eternal home. Without the passage, we wouldn’t be ready.
Michael Newton:
Earth is one of the most challenging training grounds for souls—precisely because of its limitations. Souls select Earth for accelerated growth. In the spirit world, all is love and clarity. But only here can a soul learn courage, compassion, and choice under pressure. God didn’t create Earth to trap us—but to temper us.
Rumi:
We are born of the stars but sent into the dust—to remember our brightness. Earth is where the soul is kneaded like bread, burned like clay, stretched like silk. The soul begins its journey in the dark womb of Earth, so it can later dance in the sun of divine union. God’s love breathes through this passage.
Paramahansa Yogananda:
This world is maya—illusion, yes, but sacred illusion. God designed Earth so the soul could evolve through contrast. In limitation, we seek the Infinite. In sorrow, we discover bliss. The material world is not evil—it is God's veil through which we awaken.
Dolores Cannon:
Over decades of past-life regressions, I heard the same message from thousands of souls: “We chose Earth for the depth of experience.” It’s one of the hardest places, but it’s also where souls grow the fastest. Earth is like a divine bootcamp—designed, not accidental.
[Dolores gently shifts the question.]
Let’s build on this:
“What makes Earth uniquely suited for soul development compared to the spirit world?”
Paramahansa Yogananda:
In the astral realms, beauty flows, but growth is slow. On Earth, joy and pain flash like lightning. Every challenge is an opportunity to realize God. Earth teaches the yogi patience, the sinner repentance, the lover surrender. No other realm offers such concentrated spiritual schooling.
Moses:
The laws given at Sinai were not meant for angels—they were for humans. Earth has rebellion, injustice, heartbreak—but it also holds covenant, conscience, and freedom. These elements shape us. Even the Ten Commandments were delivered in the midst of dust and trembling—because Earth is where the soul must wrestle and choose.
Dolores Cannon:
Earth has time. Earth has gravity. Earth has separation. These conditions create the perfect environment for soul refinement. Without the illusion of being alone, we wouldn’t know the joy of reunion. Here, every choice echoes more loudly than in spirit. That’s why so many souls line up to incarnate here—even when they’re afraid.
Rumi:
The soul could stay in the rose garden, sipping light. But instead, it dives into blood and bone to learn the music of longing. On Earth, the soul forgets so it can remember with wonder. It is the difference between knowing you are fire—and being forged by it.
Michael Newton:
In the spirit world, souls study. On Earth, they apply. It’s like the difference between reading a book on love—and actually loving someone who hurts you. The emotional range of Earth is unmatched. That’s why it’s so powerful. That’s why it's part of divine design.
[Dolores now leans forward slightly.]
And finally, dear ones:
“If Earth is only the starting point, how should we live while we are here?”
Rumi:
Live as a guest, not a landlord. Don’t cling to what passes. Kiss the world lightly. Let your suffering refine you. Be fire, not ashes. And remember: You are here to bloom, not to stay planted. Your real garden lies beyond this field.
Moses:
Live by God’s commandments—not as a burden, but as a guide through the wilderness. Serve the stranger, seek justice, walk humbly. You will not remain in this desert—but how you walk it determines the soul’s readiness for the promised land beyond.
Michael Newton:
Live with intention. Listen to your intuition—it’s your soul’s compass. Heal what you came to heal. Love what you came to love. Even your hardships were chosen by you, with divine counsel. This isn’t the whole story—it’s only the first act. But how you play it matters.
Paramahansa Yogananda:
Live in God-remembrance. Meditate, love, serve, rejoice. Earth is a stage, yes, but not for vanity—for awakening. Every flower, every tear, every breath can draw you nearer to the Infinite. Be in the world—but not bound by it.
Dolores Cannon:
Live like someone who volunteered. Because you did. You’re here not as punishment, but as a participant in divine unfolding. Be curious. Be open. You’re just getting started—and the soul that finishes Earth well graduates into something far more luminous.
[Dolores concludes softly]
God didn’t place us here to punish or to forget—but to begin. Earth is the soil where eternal seeds are planted. It’s not forever—but it’s where forever begins.
Topic 4: God Designed Every Ending to Be a Beginning

Moderator: Dolores Cannon
Speakers: Job, Khalil Gibran, Mary Magdalene, T.S. Eliot, Dolores Cannon
[Dolores Cannon opens]
Welcome once more. Today we’re exploring one of God’s most mysterious and merciful designs: the ending that is not an end. So many of us fear closure, death, separation. But what if God built endings as divine doorways, not walls? Let’s begin with this:
“Why do you believe God designed endings to lead to beginnings?”
Mary Magdalene:
Because resurrection is woven into the pattern of life. I stood before the tomb—despairing. But even then, the stone was not the end. God allowed the death of my Teacher, yet in that silence, something new was born: faith in the unseen. Every ending hides a dawn. I’ve lived it.
Khalil Gibran:
The seed must break to become the tree. God, in His poetry, designed endings as transformations. The river doesn’t die when it meets the sea—it becomes ocean. God does not destroy—He reshapes. What we call “ending” is the soul passing from form to essence.
T.S. Eliot:
We are born in endings. “In my end is my beginning.” This is not paradox—it is divine rhythm. God made the spiral, not the straight line. Even despair is a womb. When we exhaust one form, God unveils another. The fire burns, and in the ashes—light.
Job:
I lost everything—children, health, dignity. I sat in dust, scraping sores. And still, God had not finished with me. When we think it is the end, God is just turning the page. He restored what I had lost—yes—but more than that, He restored me. He rewrote the story I thought was over.
Dolores Cannon:
So many of my clients came to me after tragedy—loss, heartbreak, illness. And in hypnosis, they remembered: “I chose this turning point.” Why? Because the soul grows through contrast. Endings aren’t failures—they’re scheduled transitions. Your soul knew the next chapter needed space to begin.
[Dolores continues warmly.]
Let’s open this further:
“What can the soul learn from going through a true ending?”
T.S. Eliot:
The soul learns humility. To die to what we were is to make room for what we might become. God does not keep us still. He dismantles our certainties with precision. The soul learns to let go. To listen. To begin again.
Mary Magdalene:
We learn that clinging is not faith. I tried to hold onto Jesus even after the resurrection, but He said, “Do not hold on to me.” The soul must release to rise. In endings, we learn to trust the unseen, to love without possession.
Job:
We learn surrender. Not weakness—true surrender. I argued with God. I questioned everything. But in the silence, I found that the soul does not grow in comfort. It grows in the fire. And when the fire passes, the gold remains.
Khalil Gibran:
We learn gratitude. The soul, having tasted bitterness, becomes tender to sweetness. The tree, stripped by winter, rejoices more fully in spring. God teaches the soul to feel, to ache, to widen. And only in ending can we grasp the beauty of beginning.
Dolores Cannon:
We learn that we are more than our stories. Many people believe something has ended forever—marriage, health, meaning. But under hypnosis, their higher self says: “This needed to end so you could remember your power.” The soul learns identity beyond roles.
[Dolores lifts her voice with care.]
And finally:
“How should we live, knowing every ending carries the seed of a new beginning?”
Khalil Gibran:
Live like a wave—rising, crashing, rising again. Mourn endings, yes, but not as tombs—as thresholds. Be soft. Be courageous. Love as if it will end—and it will—but know, it will return in another form.
Job:
Live patiently. Live faithfully. Don’t curse the day you were born, even when it breaks you. Hold fast. God is not done writing. If the story hurts, the Author is still editing. Wait for the next chapter. It is coming.
T.S. Eliot:
Live as a pilgrim. Expect endings. Welcome them as sacred guests. Don’t fear the fire—it clears the way. Live with eyes wide to the quiet beginning beneath every conclusion.
Mary Magdalene:
Live in trust. Speak to the angels at empty tombs. Hold space for resurrection. We are not defined by what we’ve lost. We are defined by what we rise into. Be brave. Love again. That is God’s design.
Dolores Cannon:
Live with curiosity. When something ends, ask not “Why did this happen to me?” but “What is my soul preparing me for?” The next chapter may not look like the last—but it holds the wisdom your soul came here to earn. Trust the design.
[Dolores closes]
Endings are not God’s silence—they are His punctuation. The breath between sentences. The pause before resurrection. So if you are standing at the edge of something lost, remember: this is not the end. It is the doorway your soul chose to walk through.
Topic 5: Earth by Design – A Temporary World to Shape Eternal Beings

Moderator: Dolores Cannon
Speakers: Viktor Frankl, St. Francis of Assisi, Dolores Cannon, Simone Weil, Michael Newton
[Dolores Cannon opens]
Welcome, dear souls, to our final gathering in this series. Today we ask: Why did God design Earth to be temporary, yet use it to form eternal souls? Why would something so fleeting hold such weight in our spiritual development?
Let us begin with this:
“Why do you believe God designed Earth to be temporary but spiritually essential?”
St. Francis of Assisi:
Because the soul must learn to love without attachment. Earth is fleeting, like the morning mist. But in that mist, we learn compassion, humility, and service. God made this world not to keep us—but to teach us how to let go of all but love.
Simone Weil:
God withdrew to make space for our freedom. Earth is temporary because freedom requires finitude. In suffering, in labor, in the fleeting beauty of this world, the soul discovers that what truly matters is invisible. That’s why this world is not eternal—because it’s not ultimate.
Michael Newton:
In my research, souls often describe Earth as “the most intense classroom.” The time constraint—the pain, the uncertainty—all of it accelerates growth. God designed Earth to compress experience. It’s short, but dense. A soul can evolve here in a single lifetime more than in centuries elsewhere.
Viktor Frankl:
Because it is in the face of death that we find meaning. Earth’s brevity presses us to ask, “Why am I here?” The temporariness creates the space for decision. Without the shadow of death, we would forget how precious life is. God used that pressure to awaken the human spirit.
Dolores Cannon:
Earth is designed like a simulator. It’s not eternal because it’s a tool—a soul-forging ground. You can’t build eternal character in an environment where nothing changes. The impermanence is part of the challenge, and also part of the genius of divine design.
[Dolores leans forward, her tone now more intimate.]
Let’s go deeper:
“What kind of transformation is God aiming for through Earth’s design?”
Simone Weil:
God desires that we learn attention, not power. That we see suffering, not escape it. The transformation is not into perfection—but into receptivity. Earth breaks the ego so the soul may become a chalice for divine love.
Michael Newton:
The transformation is from theoretical understanding to lived wisdom. Souls on Earth move from knowing love abstractly to being love under pressure. That’s a leap no spirit-world lecture can provide. God is aiming for integration, not just awareness.
St. Francis of Assisi:
We are transformed by simplicity. By loving a leper. By kissing the feet of the poor. God uses Earth to empty us of pride, to fill us with divine poverty—where nothing is ours, and yet everything is gift.
Viktor Frankl:
God is shaping souls who can endure meaninglessness—and still create meaning. In the camps, I saw people choose dignity in the face of horror. That transformation—from despair to purpose—is divine alchemy. Earth gives the soul its furnace.
Dolores Cannon:
God wants us to remember who we are—but through contrast. We’re not here to be perfect; we’re here to evolve. Earth pushes us, tests us, sometimes breaks us—so we can uncover the indestructible. That’s the transformation: rediscovering divinity through limitation.
[Dolores closes with the final question:]
“Knowing Earth is temporary and our souls are eternal, how should we live while we are here?”
St. Francis of Assisi:
Live simply. Love deeply. Serve humbly. Sing with the birds, cry with the broken, walk barefoot in creation. Don’t fear Earth’s brevity—let it teach you to treasure the now. This is not our forever—but it is our gift.
Viktor Frankl:
Live as someone who chooses meaning. Don’t wait for life to explain itself. Respond to it. Even in suffering, choose your attitude. God gave us the space between stimulus and response—that’s where soul-building happens.
Michael Newton:
Live like someone who planned this. Every obstacle was placed with your soul’s approval. Don’t ask, “Why me?” Ask, “What am I supposed to grow from this?” This life may be short—but it’s sacred. Use it wisely.
Simone Weil:
Live attentively. Let every moment become a prayer. Earth is fleeting so that we may learn the weight of each instant. If you suffer—don’t waste it. Suffering is a cry that reaches God more clearly than words.
Dolores Cannon:
Live curiously. Don’t be afraid of death—it’s just a shift in vibration. While you're here, be present. Follow your intuition. Ask big questions. Remember: You are eternal. Earth is not your cage—it’s your classroom.
[Dolores closes, voice gentle but strong.]
God made Earth temporary not to punish, but to awaken. In its fragile form, He hid the furnace of transformation. And when your time here ends, you’ll see—this fleeting world shaped an everlasting soul.
Final Reflection
So—why did God make life short?
Because in a short life, everything counts. Every choice, every heartbreak, every act of compassion shines brighter against the backdrop of time’s brevity. God didn’t shorten life to limit you. He designed its shortness to awaken you.
You were not meant to stay here forever. But you were absolutely meant to be here now—learning, loving, and evolving.
And when this chapter ends, as it was designed to, your soul will carry everything forward.
Not the length of your life.
But the depth of how you lived it.
