Episode Details

Listen to episode 1143 of the Inspirational Living Podcast: Inspiring Thoughts on Your Immortal Life, edited & adapted from Theodore Parker's Unitarian sermon on immortality.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Immortality is what philosophers call an ontological fact; it belongs essentially to our being, just as the eye is a physiological fact and belongs to our body. To my mind this is the great proof of immortality: the fact that it is written in human nature; written there so plain that the no nation has failed to find it, to know it; written just as much as form is written on the circle. It comes to our consciousness as naturally as the notions of time and space. We feel it as a desire; we feel it as a fact. 

To suppose that this universal desire has no corresponding gratification is to deny reality. I feel the longing after immortality, a desire essential to my nature, deep as the foundation of my being; I find the same desire in all people—though some may try to hide or dismiss it.
