The concept of eternity has intrigued and mystified human beings for centuries. It is the idea of a timeless existence that transcends the limitations of our mortal lives. Eternity is often associated with notions of immortality, infinity, and the persistence of the soul beyond death. Religious and philosophical traditions across the world have grappled with the concept of eternity. In many religious beliefs, eternity is closely tied to the idea of an afterlife or a spiritual realm where souls continue to exist beyond the physical world. This belief in an everlasting existence has provided solace and comfort to countless individuals, offering hope for a life beyond the transient and fleeting nature of our mortal existence.
Jeff Evans: I had no other performing experience before getting interested in magic. I was a little on the shy side as a child, but sharing magic with other people was fun. The wonder of “How is it done?” is what got me hooked. Who doesn’t want to know a secret that other people don’t? Becoming an entertainer has definitely been a journey for me. Although I still do some of the same tricks now that I did ten or twenty years ago, the way I present them is very different.
I write a proposal for the libraries six months in advance, get bookings, and then have to come up with a program that hopefully comes close to fulfilling the promises I made in my marketing blurb. They said a stray had come in, he d been dumped on a doorstep, bleeding, with a shattered leg and he was going to be put to sleep, said Mrs Turner, 47.
This belief in an everlasting existence has provided solace and comfort to countless individuals, offering hope for a life beyond the transient and fleeting nature of our mortal existence. However, the idea of eternity can also be a source of existential contemplation and existential dread. The prospect of an endless existence, devoid of change or progression, raises questions about the meaning and purpose of life.
DJ Chris Evans adopts 'adorable' Surrey lurcher who was hours from being put down
An “adorable” lurcher who was hours from being put down after he was found abandoned in a wretched state with a shattered leg can now look forward to life as a celebrity’s pooch.
The turnaround in fortunes for Jeff, as he has been named, is a remarkable fairytale of rags to riches, according to dog lover Caroline Turner, who organised a campaign to save him.
Jeff was found bleeding in a doorway in Cranleigh on November 22 and taken to a local vet. The vet called Mrs Turner, who runs Parklands Farm Greyhound Hotel in Ockley, to say he needed around £5,000 of treatment.
“They said a stray had come in, he’d been dumped on a doorstep, bleeding, with a shattered leg and he was going to be put to sleep,” said Mrs Turner, 47.
“But they said he was so lovely, and they wondered if I knew anyone who could help. I said ‘leave it with me’.”
“I just thought, I can’t know about this and let it happen,” she added.
“I rang the vets back and said ‘don’t put him down, I will have him’. I was thinking, ‘where am I going to get the money from?’
“I got in the car and went to visit him. He was in such a bad way. They said they thought he was about three, but I looked at him and thought he must be at least five to seven. He has clearly had a hard life, he was skin and bone, he looked really bad and in pain. I just said ‘do not put him to sleep’.”
Mrs Turner gave Jeff a cuddle, returned home and set up a gofundme page, asking for donations to pay for his life-saving surgery, and then went out to dinner with friends.

“Within two hours we had raised £4,000,” she said. “It was astonishing, absolutely astonishing.
“I can’t put it into words, the amount of people who donated.”
Jeff – who was named on a whim after Mrs Turner’s husband – was referred to specialist vets Anderson Abercromby, near Ockley, the following day, where he underwent surgery.
“They performed a miracle,” said Mrs Turner. “He has got two metal plates in his leg now. He was in a mess. Both the bones in his leg were snapped and it looked like he had other wounds. We are not sure what happened to him but he had suffered.”
The vets now believe Jeff is little more than a puppy, aged one or two.
“Over the next few days he grew in confidence and he is adored by everyone there,” said Mrs Turner. “Now his tail is wagging, and he’s so trusting, even after everything he has been through.”
Just as Jeff began recuperating, a few people who had heard about his plight contacted Mrs Turner to say radio host Chris Evans had been talking about wanting a new lurcher on air.

Within days, she was recounting Jeff’s survival story live on Evans’s Virgin Radio show - during which they were both on the verge of tears - and says the DJ’s offer to adopt Jeff is a “done deal”.
“It is rags to riches, it really is a fairytale,” said Mrs Turner, who has four greyhounds of her own. “It is incredible, and the people who donated, we couldn’t have done it without them.”
Jeff is still at the vets, being treated for an infection, but she hopes he will soon be out.
“We will help him on his way with his rehabilitation and then in the new year he will go to live with Chris,” she said. “It is an incredible journey he is on and he doesn’t know any of it yet.”

If our existence is eternal, how do we find meaning in an existence that has no end? Without the constraints of time and finite resources, what drives us to strive for growth and improvement? Moreover, the notion of eternity challenges our understanding of time itself. Time, as we experience it in our mortal lives, is marked by cycles, changes, and an inevitable end. It is a linear progression that provides structure and meaning to our lives. However, the concept of eternity transcends this linear perspective. It exists outside the boundaries of time, raising questions about how we perceive and comprehend such a timeless state. The course of eternity is a topic that has fascinated poets, writers, and artists throughout history. It has been explored in various literary works, from Dante's "Divine Comedy" to T.S. Eliot's "Four Quartets." These works delve into the complexities and paradoxes of eternity, attempting to capture the vastness and profundity of such a concept. Ultimately, the course of eternity remains a mystery that eludes complete understanding. It is a concept that challenges our very perception of existence and time. Whether viewed as a source of comfort or as an enigma, the concept of eternity continues to inspire awe and contemplation, reminding us of the profound mysteries that lie beyond the limits of our mortal lives..
