Friends of Portal12, we are delighted to share with you 33 essential insights from a unique and profound book by Maurice Maeterlinck, a treasure we recently acquired. Titled Our Eternity, this masterpiece by the Belgian writer and Nobel laureate is among his most profound philosophical and spiritual works. Published in 1913, this work delves deeply into fundamental questions about life, death, the soul, and immortality.

With his signature style—marked by poetic elegance and philosophical depth—Maeterlinck invites readers on a journey toward truth:

"Death is only a curtain that temporarily separates us from our true Essence."
"Immortality does not lie in the continuation of the body but in the constancy of the Spirit."
"The soul is neither born nor dies; it simply exists."
"The truth of eternity cannot be found in religious dogmas but in the Silence of our consciousness."
"Life is a spark, and death—a wind that fans its flame."
"All that is visible is but a reflection of the invisible."
"Fear of death is fear of the unknown, which we have not allowed ourselves to understand."
"The body is a home, but the soul is a traveler."
"Every moment of awareness is a gateway to Eternity."
"Death is not an end but the beginning of a new level of existence."
"Spirituality is not comfort but a call to Truth."

"Every change is part of the great harmony of the Universe."
"Eternity is like an ocean—we are a drop, but the drop is never lost."
"Our thoughts and deeds are the seeds that will sprout in the next existence."
"Everything that is created is already immortal."
"To fear death is to fear oneself."
