only be God. What will be there after billions of years? God. Always God. This means that in Eternity there is no time. Nothing has ever happened, and nothing ever will happen. There is no time factor. Billions of years ago you were: today you are here, ever afterwards you will be. Today all that is happening is not happening, though this does not appear to be so now.

“When one has experience of Eternity, one knows that God is. To say that God was, is, and will be, is wrong. All Eternity is now present at this moment. So I say, 'God is.'

The only answer is Love. If we love God, we become Him. There is no further question. But we must love with all our hearts, so that only God exists for us."
