A Kabbalah tale: "The twins in the womb"

“Once uppon a time there were two twins in the womb of their mother. 

The first brother says, “After our death here, there will be a new great world. We will eat through our mouths. Also, we will be able to see far distances with our eyes. We will stand up straight and tall.” The skeptical brother replies, “What you are saying is nonsense; it’s all your imagination. There is no foundation for this belief. It is an elaborate defense mechanism. There is only this world. There is no next world.” The first twin asks his non believing brother what he thinks will happen to them. The second brother replies, “We will go with a bang. Our world will collapse, and we will sink into oblivion. A black void. An end to consciousness.”

Suddenly the water inside the womb bursts. The womb convulses with upheaval and turmoil. Everything lets loose, and the brothers move faster and faster, lower and lower. All of the sudden, the brother with faith falls out of the womb as his nonbelieving brother watches in horror. He cries, “Why did this happen?! Why did he fall into that terrible abyss? I knew that death is horrible.” While he’s so filled with sorrow, he hears a cry from his brother who has fallen out of the world and exclaims, “Oh no! What a horrible end! Just as I predicted!”
