What shall I write about death? Shall I write about the living? Life is for living or we would not be alive. Sometimes someone dies so that another might live and grow. How can we say death is a bad thing – until we experience it ourselves? Since life is good, good just for the fact that is exists at all, and since death is an unavoidable fact of life – how can we say death is bad? Bad for who or whom? Bad for the person who died or bad for those still living?

Only one of two things can happen after the experience we call death.

The first possibility is that our awareness of being aware goes out like a light-bulb when you pull the plug. NOTHING! It doesn't matter what we believed or feared would happen because we won't know it anyway. After our physical body dies how can we be disappointed of fearful of something that we won't be aware of?

The second possibility is our awareness of existing with or without what we call a body continues for another minute, five minutes, an hour – perhaps a week. If our awareness of being aware goes on for even a minute after what is called physical death – what person can tell me it ever has to end?

The more medical science learns, the less sure they are of the exact moment of death. To them, when the body ceases to breathe, when the blood ceases to flow and the brain waves cease to wave – this is the moment that the death of the body in front of them is certain. Medical science has advanced to where they can snatch people from death that years ago would have been impossible.

On the operating table, people who were clinically dead and who have revived after a few minutes have told the doctors what the doctors were doing to try to save them while they were “unconscious”. The patient tells the doctor that he or she was watching the entire procedure from “above” the operating table, with perfect awareness but unable to communicate with the doctors. Soldiers have told about being aware of being outside their bodies after being wounded and thought dead. My 89 year-old mother returned to me 36 hours after she died to tell me that she felt no pain, it was wonderful, do not worry, I love you and goodbye. Her voice “materialized” our of the air in my bedroom around 3 in the morning calling my name. The hair stood up on my arms because the reality of it was unquestionable. Her physical body was not present but her voice was loud and clear.

There have been many different experiences, explained many different ways but all very similar in essence. However, all very aware of being out of their body and usually very happy about this fact once they adjusted to the new experience. Some who were revived were so happy that they did not to return to their body. Some were informed that their mission was not finished and they had to return to their body. Many people have had similar experiences but have never spoke about the experience because they feared other people would call them crazy.

To me, this means that death is just another illusion. An illusion is anything that is not exactly what it appears to be. Ah, our wonderful but limited abilities of sense; seeing, heating, touching, tasting and smelling. Don't forget, a dog can hear sounds that we cannot. What about all kinds of things we are not aware of that we do not even know we aren't aware. A lot of things exist regardless of whether we are aware of their existence or not. All things are changing even as we look at them but we are not aware of the changes as they happen. Look at your dishes, walls, shoes, desk – all are changing as we look at them. Some call it disintegrating but it is just energy changing its physical form.

God, or Energy is singular in essence but infinite is its' potential forms or manifestations. Every molecule of everything that exists is just God in one of God's infinite manifestations. Once we accept the omnipresence of God, all things are God, or Infinite Intelligence, Yahweh, Jehova, Allah or whatever you wish to name this nameless essence of existence that we see and experience as the universe. The essence does not die, only the forms the essence is manifesting through are eternally changing.

Now is death the end of our awareness of being aware or is there more than what we see before we get there? Most of us would like to think we can exist for eternity if we can keep able to move around and exist with some pleasure in existence. Just to escape thinking about the unknown possibilities of after death experience or after-death non-experience, some of us choose to believe in something that others have told us – heaven, hell, re-incarnation, nirvana – the dissolving of our self in the to eternal self. It is interesting that in the innermost depths of every human's consciousness there seems to be a voice that says “There Is More”.

What if there is more? If there is, what is life for? Life is for living, of course, even the gurus have to eat food at some point or another or die from lack of interaction with life. Life is also for growing spiritually, realizing the eternal spiritual truths that we already know but just are not conscious that we already know. Just coping and learning to survive in the physical universe has hidden these truths from our awareness. Do not be mad at our machine that we call a body. It only did its' job and it did its' job very well. Our machine does its' job so well that we think we are our machine and not the spirit inside the machine.

Nobody can really teach us these truths. All anyone can do is to “tickle” our self-growth. We can memorize something, but memorizing is not learning. We can learn from what we memorized. Our thoughts of what we memorized will tickle our self-growth.

The spirit which we truly are, the part of us that is aware of being aware, is here in this life to learn Truth. Truth is, always has been Truth and always will be Truth. It just comes in different packages. Sometimes the package blinds us to the Truth. However, if we keep looking and are willing to accept the Truth, whatever the truth might be, then we shall find the Truth and this knowledge will set us free.

What is Truth? You will know the Truth because nothing can discredit or invalidate the truth. However, we can never be aware of more of the Truth than we can handle. This must be or we would have a tendency to self-destruct very quickly. Mis-use the Truth and a price must be paid – no exceptions. What seems to be exceptions are just illusions of perception. Truth is Truth, truth is Law, God is the Law and God cannot break the Law. Ignorance of the Law is not a valid excuse. The Law must work Truth. People may seem to get away with breaking the Law of Balance in the Universe, but we usually never get to see the secret prices they are paying or will eventually be paying for breaking the Law of Truth. What you sow, you eventually will reap. Death does not break this Law of Truth.

Spiritually we are here to grow in our awareness of eternal Truths. Physically we are here to evolution of the physical manifestation of God. We may seem to be a really small insignificant part of an incomprehensibly large universe. However, we are as important to the evolution of the universe as the smallest molecule is to the evolution of our physical body. Don't forget, our “body” is made up of billions of smaller “lives” that altogether make up our “body. There is an infinite idea in God's mind to forever keep perfecting creation. We think we have a choice in life. Our only choice is to accept or resist every experience that life brings us. Accept every experience as a growth experience. If anything in the universe stops growing, it seems to remain static or starts to “ungrow” Static is only an illusion and death is just another part of growth. All things change but the essence of all things does not change. God, the Essence of all things doesn't change. Only god's physical manifestations change in their eternal evolution.

There is only thing in this universe that can upset us. That one thing is IDEA. Only the ideas, the thoughts we have about any happening or any thing can upset us. Our thoughts upset up determined by what we think about the person or thing. The judgments we make about the happening determine our pleasure or pain. What is the difference between a good experience and a bad experience. It is the same happening hooked at from different perspectives and/or locations. What is pain to one person can be to another person pleasure.

Death does not have to be painful. There are documented cases of painless death. I woke up 36 years ago and found my wife dead. Dead with a smile on her face. If her death had been painful, she would not have had a smile on her face. Of course, death seems to painful sometimes. However, don't forget that as long as you do feel pain, you are not dead. The actual moment of complete separation of the spirit from the body cannot be specified. However, at the moment of separation, we no longer have connection with the body-vehicle that feels pain.

Many years ago I was in a car accident. I was thrown across the back seat so violently that I knocked the door open and was hurled onto the shoulder of the highway. I was amazed at feeling no pain through all this activity. I did not feel any pain until I started to look for the pain.

Our body has a defense mechanism that is utterly amazing. It will defend us from even now it is defending us if it knows we cannot consciously handle the awareness. If we do not wish to remember something, it will do its' job and will do it beautifully. We won't even be aware of having forgotten what we wanted to forget. However, we only forget consciously. The energy that is the memory is still within us and energy is being used to keep that energy “buried” from our conscious awareness. All that energy used in keeping painful memories buried, when all we have to do is be able to look at any experience we ever had and have it be alright that the experience happened or did not happen. We cannot change the experience. It is what it was. However, change our judgments about the experience and accept that it happened and the holding energy will dissipate because the energy that is the memory will not have to be kept from your conscious thoughts any longer.

Truth is. The experience was. The memory of the experience is. The Truth seems to hurt, but the hurt shall pass as we can accept the truth of what was and accept it to be or not to be. Once we truly appreciate the incredible reality that all LIFE truly is, the acceptance of that experience which we still hold painful judgments against will set us free from it forever more.

Our body has like a circuit breaker or ultra modern fuse box controlling the amount of pain, whether mental, physical or emotional pain, that it will allow us to experience. Some of us can take more pain than others. Some of us can take less pain than others. However, all of us can sometimes take more pain that than we normally think we could handle. God will not give us an experience we cannot handle.

A pain, whether physical, emotional or mental is a warning signal from our defense mechanism saying “Please stop, I can't take much more. You, or something, is doing something contra-survival”. We can build up a tolerance of pain and accept more. However, either we choose to grow or sooner or later life will jolt us if necessary to try to get us to grow.

If we ask why we hurt emotionally, as why and really want to know the True answer, keep asking why and we will get the answer. “Seek and you shall find” is the Law. Don't say pain is Love. Love knows no pain but does know affinity and empathy. We will know when we find and accept the truth with Love, because the pain will dissipate, will go away and never return. Never return unless we start running the “wow is me” judgment games in our mind again. Perhaps we will create an idea that brings us pain because we want the stimulation f the pain. Sometimes when a loved one dies, we keep running thoughts in our minds that bring us pain because the feeling of the pain seems to still connect us to the loved one who died.

All things come to pass in life. Even what we perceive life to be. The things we call good as well and the things we call bad. All things come to pass. We must be willing to let things pass when it is time to pass. The Dead Sea is dead even though it receives fresh water every day. However, it is dead because it does not let the water go out the other end of the Sea. It holds on to to life and the life suffocates. If we were able to hold onto a breath forever, we would die very quickly because we need to constantly breath in new air and let out the old air to survive – to continue growth and living. All is in a continual, eternal state of transition. This is Truth. Stop this transition and there is no more of whatever we stopped transitionalizing.

When the time is ready for any manifestation in the physical universe of the consciousness of god to pass, no power on earth can stop it from passing. We can either accept it or resist it. It is still going to pass. We may think we have stopped it, but like the shifting of the earth's plates, an earthquake will eventually show us that is has been continually transitioning even when we thought it was static.

It is the same in reverse. Until the time is right for something to pass, no power in the physical universe can force it to pass. Hitler found this out as did many countless others who thought they could play God with the Universe.

Any time anything in life seems to upset us, to find the answer why and get rid of the upset feeling we only need to look within ourselves. The upsetness is showing us where to look to find the Truth That will Set Us Free. If someone says something that I am upset about, they have actually showed me what I must think upon to find out the true source of the upsetness which is within me. If we believed that what they said was not true, and it was not true, then we would not be upset unless we choose to be upset for one reason or another. The choice is ours. We may think that what they said or did was not the right thing to do or say, but whether we are upset or not is determined by the thoughts we choose to entertain concerning the words or the deed. We cannot have an emotion without a thought preceding it. An emotion is an effect of a train of thoughts. We cannot control each thought we we surely can influence the direction our thought will wander.

If we are upset from some loved one dying, usually our upsetness is from resisting. We resist letting go of anything, especially anything from which we get pleasure. This is understandable but understanding why we are resisting and accepting the reality that is, will dissipate the pain. Missing a loved one is not the same as resisting their passing and feeling great upsetness of the way of the universe.

Sometimes pain is just from a game we run in our minds because we are bored. Something seems to be preferred to nothing. In this case, pain can be a powerful stimulant.

When someone we love dies, it can feel like a big piece of our body and soul was just cut out of us with a jagged, rusty knife. The only way out of this pain is through it, facing the reality of the loss until we can accept it with love and appreciation that we were given a chance to have ever known the loved one at all. If we must say it meant anything either good or bad, and romanticize the IS-NESS of reality, we might as well say it happened for the good of our personal evolution and for the good of the personal evolution of the spirit which we experienced as our loved one – whether it looks that way or not. Any other thoughts will not be conducive to our learning the spiritual good that was the essence of the experience.

If we look for growth in all experience, we will find it and in time all experiences will be looked at with child-like wonder. We have only lost our child-like wonder because of all the experiences we have had since we were 5 or 6 years old and we tend to see more and more things through the memory of previous experience. We filter things through the images of all our past encounters. This is natural for our earth-body. It must compare present experience with former experiences. It must filter present experience through former experience or it would not have time to get on with the process of growing and learning. If every time we used a fork to eat our food we had to learn to use it as a new experience and not filter it through our past experiences of using a fork, we would never finish our dinner.

One way to help grow through the pain of a loved one passing from this Earth-plane of experience is to take a photo or an object that is associated with the loved one. A photo seems best, but any personal object, even the loved ones false teeth will work. We will use the photo in this example. Take the photo and talk to the person in the photo. Tell your loved one that you really, really do not want to let them go but you know you have to. Say “I don't want to let you go my love, but I know I have to. You are gone from this Earthly part of my existence so I must let you pass and get on with the process of living the life I still have to live. So be it, my loved one. I now let you pass......I must let you pass. I will never lose my wonderful memory of experiencing life with you, but I shall lovingly let you pass into whatever your existence is now. I shall get on with the process of living my life and learn how everything works our for the best even if I do not think it is for the best.”

Saying these things to your loved one who has died will hurt at first. In fact, you will be wracked with almost uncontrollable sobbing and pain. It will hurt for perhaps a little while or perhaps a long while. It depends on the degree of our resistance. It took me two years after my wife died before I could even smile for more than a moment or two. As I write this, I am still learning from experiencing her and her death.

My memory now of experiencing the spirit of my first wife is now one of beauty and thankfulness. Thankfulness that I had the opportunity experience what I experienced with my “loved one”. There was something she had to learn through her experience of death. A special thing she had to learn or else she would not have died a 22 year-old. When I found her dead, she had one of the nicest smiles that I had ever seen here have. Seeing that smile I knew death did not have to be painful and may even be a wonderful experience.

Sometimes we are so close to the trees that we cannot see the whole forest. If the happening was not necessary in the evolution of myself, my loved one and the universe, it wouldn't be happening.

I am in no hurry to die. I love living in this Earthly-plane of existence. However, I now do not fear the death process. I just pray I do not have to experience much pain in the process prior to my actual experience of death.

The loved one who died would want to be happy and to go and enjoy living. That is, they would want us to go on, live, grow and be happy – if they loved us. If there is anyway they wold be aware of our crying and suffering over their death, after a minute or two, their “spiritual-heart” would feel like it was breaking watching us suffer. If they want us to suffer, then we have no business suffering at all.

I believe my wife loved me with the passion I loved her. We had our fights but we usually grew them when we faced them and didn't try to reject or resist the problem that was the source of the fight.

I presume your loved one loved you with the passion you loved him or her. So he or she would want you to be happy – right? Of course.

The pain is within ourselves, because we are unwilling to accept the experience as part of living on this Earthly-plane and choosing to learn and grow through it. Of course we liked the experiences before the loved one's death while we still had them in the physical Earth-realm. Even the arguments were experienced in the physical earth-realm. However, death is a final, absolute parting of the physical relationship as we knew it. The more beautiful our memories, the more difficult it is to let go. We have only two choices. We choose to accept it or to resist it as a growth experience. To resist it guarantees pain. Accepting it offers a path to peace. The more we embrace it as an opportunity for growth, the more we will find the spiritual essence of the experience that will set us free from the suffering.

We all have a divine mission in this Earth-plane of our existence. This divine mission might be cleaning toilets or leading the country in which we find ourselves living. Even the person living in the gutter has a divine mission. They can either resist or accept the working out of their divine mission. If there was not something for them to learn in the gutter, they would not be in the gutter. They would be somewhere else. They will stay in the gutter until they learn whatever they have to learn what there is for them to learn in the gutter. Once they learn what there is for them to learn, they will either leave the gutter or stay in the gutter helping others rise out of the gutter.

Regardless of what path we walk looking for the Truth, we must walk it alone. Alone with God. We must experience each step ourselves. No one can experience our steps with us. They can only share journeying with us. They cannot share our intimate experience of the journey. We think we can share our experiences but we can only share experiencing. Neither of us can feel exactly what the other one is feeling. We can only assume that our feeling is similar to the other person's feeling. We all know how difficult is to explain our feeling with words. Unless the other one has had similar experiences to ours, how can we give them our feeling of our experience?

Truth is in all experiences. Truth is in all things. Truth can be learned from all experiences. When what was relevant to be learned, has been learned, we will then move onto another phase of our spiritual journey. The experience is the vehicle of and for Truth. The experience is a manifestation of Truth. As soon as we learn from a problem, it will never be the same problem again. As we keep learning, in time, we will not see ourselves as having any more problems. We will see all an opportunities for growth. We will look upon every experience a part of the spiritual learning process and see the beauty of life manifesting as the learning experience.

Things are bad only when we do not learn. Bad only because we will have to continue to go through more and more of the same until we learn what there is for us to learn through the experience.

It is our choice. Choose to learn or not learn. This is the only choice we have. Be open to learning or resist learning. Choose to learn immersed in a feeling of all the love you ever dreamed of having. Feel this feeling because it is already true. If we must romanticize the IS-NESS OF REALITY, then let us call it PURE, ABSOLUTE LOVE – BECAUSE IT IS OF GOD – IT IS GOD.

We will pay a price for not learning from our experiences. We may think we are getting by by paying a cheaper price, or if we put the learning off long enough we won't have to pay the price. However, this is an illusion. We will pay a price even for not paying a price. There is a price for every experience in life. We all have just 24 hours a day to spend on life regardless of how rich or how poor we may think we are. Once we spend any minute on anything that is important or not important to us, once surely as we spend it, the minute is spent. There are no exchanges. There are no refunds. That minute, that moment of our life in this Earth-plane has passed. It is gone forever. We can still learn from the memory but the moment has passed, whether we like it or not.

Say we decide not to pay the price of accepting an experience as a growth experience. The price we will pay in the long run is ulcers, psychosomatic illnesses, a loved one that rejects us. The vehicles the price comes in are as many as there are possibilities in the universe.

We either pay the price as soon as possible or the price we pay later on will be many times heavier and harder to grow through. Growth in the earlier stages is like a chicken that breaks out of its' shell Once out of the shell, it is free. To stay in the shell is to live a limited life to say the least. To stay in the shell will actually kill the chicken. Either decision will bring different results. Once out of the shell, the rewards are infinitely greater than if stayed in the shell.

Once we break out of the shell, once we see and accept the Truth, we will never want to return to the shell again. Breaking out of the shell quickly definitely requires more discipline and desire for growth than staying in the shell. We think staying in our shell is the safest thing we can do, all things as we see them considered. But in the long run that price is like a charge account. Either you pay it off as soon as possible or it almost always increases in the amount you eventually have to pay. The price builds up so slowly that we don't think any concern even if we are aware enough to notice the price building up. Then one day, sooner or later, we either have to pay the price of breaking out of the shell or ending up paying the price of bankruptcy.

When we grow to the awareness that all happenings are working out for the good of the evolution of the universe – when our consciousness is aware of this fact – when we accept this awareness as the truth that is is – then we are truly free.

You could spend all the money in the universe and not find Truth. You do not have to give up anything to find truth. It just has to be alright for us to have or not have anything in the Universe, whether we would like it to be or not. If it is, so be it. If it is not, so be it. It is perfectly alright. Lean the weight of your influence in the direction you wold like your life to go. However, regardless of the results of your leaning, appreciate the fact that you have a chance to do anything at all and you will know the joy and the blessing of your existence.

Of course we must try to achieve our dreams, intentions and desires. Our dreams, intentions and desires are what give us a sense of direction in fulfilling our diving mission on whatever plane of existence we find ourselves.

We are players on a stage. Our bodies and physical lives are used to better Creation, regardless of what we would think would better Creation. In fact, sometimes life has other plans for us regardless of what we think, want or desire. It is only an illusion that we can choose what experiences life will bring us. Our only choice is to grow, to learn. Once we learn from an experience, Life does not have to bring that experience to us again. If we do not learn, Life will keep trying to teach us.

Our growth experiences will be relevant to our individual lever of awareness. Sometimes we are the vehicle life uses to get someone else to grow. However, if we look into the experience we will see potentials for our own growth also.

We learn through the experience we call death, both our death and the death of others. Learning is Eternal. We cannot ever become the god that is the source and sustainer of our existence, the infinite body we live, move and have our being in. Therefore we will never stop learning. God will always be at least one step ahead of us.

Perhaps after our experience of death, we will pay a price for not learning things in this experience of life prior to our death experience.

Like I said, only one of two things can possibility happen after the experience we call death. One is NOTHING – Dead – Gone forever into oblivion, into nothingness, not aware of not being aware. If this happens, nothing matters anyway to the dead person. We must let the person go. There is nothing we can do to bring him or her back to life. We must let them go or live in different levels of misery. If death is the end of our existence, then nothing is worth being unhappy while we still live. We will only be alive once so enjoy it as much as you can. Get drunk, get somebody else, use any crutch to get through the rest of your life that helps.

However, the second possibility is there is a continuation of us being aware of individually existing somewhere. If this is the case, we had better learn all we can. Learning will cost a price, but so will not learning cost a price. Just do not do anything to anybody that you couldn't handle if it was being done to you. This is because of the Universal Law of Return. The energy we send out will return to us. If you hit someone in the nose, this does not necessarily mean that someone will hit you in the nose. But sometime, sooner or later, without fail, life might hit you in the head with a ball bat. The fist and the ball bat are just vehicles to carry the energy to its destination – someone else's nose or your head. All of creation is just a vehicle for God to express God. The energy we send out will return. Don't deceive yourself. When what we do to another doesn't come back the exact way we did it, it will return. The essence of what and why we did something will come back. This is the way the universe educates us.

If there is any possible chance that this life is part of learning process for eternity, we had better choose to grow and accept nature to be whatever nature is. Sure, have dreams, intentions and desires. They are directional finders leading to fulfillment of our divine potential as co-creators in the infinite mind of God.

If an experience is not relevant to our growth, it would not be happening. Something else would be happening until something else is relevant.

Never forget that all we really have is God and our awareness. No person can experience our pleasures or our pain for us Not mother, father, sister, brother, husband, wife or child. God and awareness of being aware are all we really have. Anything in the physical universe can be taken out of our awareness without even a moments notice.

We must be thankful that we have had a chance to experience anything and anywhere. The more this thankfulness fills us, the more we will be able to everything to be or not to be. Once this thankfulness for being aware of being aware fills our very being-ness, we will enjoy life because we will not depend on life to anything but existing for our happiness. Happy that we exist in any form or fashion.

Everything has it's place. Even a roach has its place. It is doing it's divine mission. It is one of God's best energy transformers. It takes many different forms of energy and defecates the energy as a simpler form of energy. To have the building blocks of life, life must be broken down into small building blocks.

The only thing that can upset me is my thought about what has happened, what is happening or what may happen in the future. We can change our life by changing our thoughts. One day or perhaps a thousand days from now, with the appreciation of being aware of being aware, our life will be more beautiful than we could imagine – because we will be living life itself. What is more incredible than living life itself?

However, it will take time, patience and a willingness to experience things we may not want to experience. Learn especially from these unwanted experiences. They hold the greatest potential for self-growth. Anything we resist becomes permanent as long as we resist it. What we fear comes upon us. To fear anything means there is something to be learned through what we fear.

The principles of the Universe are very simple. Their profundity is in their simplicity. The principles of driving an automobile are very simple: Step one, Step two, Step three, Step four, Step five – Now Drive. Very simple but not necessarily easy to do. Even writing a letter was not easy for us before we even learned how to print at 3, 4 or 5 years of age. Most of us could not do anything until we were at least a few weeks old. Even then, we learned by experience, by trial and error. We were non-professionals in everything at one time or another in our life.

We learn other things the same way. Keep trying. Do anything often enough and long enough and it will become part of us. It will become a habit. Our computer-like mind and our machine-like body produce nothing better than what we feed it physically, mentally and emotionally. You feed it fifty negative thoughts and only twenty positive thoughts, it will assume the negative way is the way you want and it will help lead you to negative experiences. It can do only the job it was made to do, which is to serve you. It lives on the instructions you feed it. Feed it fifty positive thoughts and only 20 negative thoughts and it will strive to lead you towards positive experiences.

If we program self-destructive thoughts, sooner or later we will act in self-destructive ways, in spite of our efforts to be constructive. Every thought is recorded whether we think it is recorded or not. When we speak, we think the thought before we speak it. Then when we say the thought it is recorded again. Double jeopardy or double beauty. It is determined by our thoughts. Of course, if someone sticks us with a pin, we will be upset the moment it happens, but then it has passed and except for the lingering pain, the upsetness has passed also. What thoughts we choose to entertain will determine how long the mental upsetness stays with us.

Listen to songs that sound beautiful but have painful messages can be injurious to our health. Every painful emotion is recorded in the present moment as you listen to the song. Painful emotion songs such as “She broke my heart and I don't know how I will live without her”, or singing about the lack of something you desire in your life such as “I need the love of a natural man” will strongly influence how you view and experience life. Feed pain or lack into your computer brain and it will feed on it and produce more of the same in your life. Repeat something often enough and long enough and it will become part of you. What is repeated the most will become the most dominant part of our physical and mental experience.

Through all this, your spiritual reality will not give up trying to inspire us. There is a voice that keeps trying to say to us “There is More, Know that there is More.” Each hears this voice in our own individual way. We are so conditioned by this Earthly-plane of experience that we are afraid to take a chance on letting go in order to get. Seek Ye First the Kingdom of God and All Things Will be Added Unto you. The Kingdom of god is within the innermost center of your very being. It has never been anywhere else. You only sought it outside of yourself.

We can change by addition. We can negate nothing in our life that has already past. We can only change by thinking the thoughts we want to be in our mind and our life. At first, it will seem to just get harder and harder. But if you keep on keeping on, it will start getting easier and easier. Don't forget it also will sooner or later become a habit. The day will come that it even seems too easy and you will wonder why more spirit-people do not see things the way you do.

You have heard of hight levels of awareness. However, until you experience them, you know them not. You know what you have experienced. Be open to even greater experience. The price you pay will be only a fraction of the value you will experience. It is God's pleasure to give you the Kingdom of Heaven. You just have to accept it.

If and when you think you have failed to do what you know or feel you should do, forgive yourself and know that you will do and think the right thing the next opportunity you have. As many times as you stumble, forgive yourself one more time, get up and press on. What matters is your sincere desire for the Kingdom of Heaven and sooner or later – you will receive it. You will find it has always been in you, around you and always with you.

Life.....Just the fact that life exists at all and that you have had a chance to experience it at all. To experience life in and through any of its' infinite manifestations is the most incredible thing I can think of. Death is a part of life. How can it be anything else but good. We may not like it but we could not exist on this earthly-plane without it. We can think anything about it we choose – but IT STILL IS. It is the is-ness of Reality. God is singular in Essence, but infinite in It's Divine Manifestations. If we must call the IS-NESS OF REALITY anything, LET US CALL IT GOOD.
