Life has a way of changing us. At one time, we were outgoing, excited about our dreams, grateful for our family. Then life happens. We look up and wonder where that other person went. The real you is still there: the joyful, passionate, confident you, victorious you.
"Die before you die. Go into it deeply. Your physical form is dissolving, is no more. Then a moment comes when all mind-forms or thoughts also die. Yet you are still there, the divine presence that you are. Radiant, fully awake.”
~ Eckhart Tolle
This is the real secret of life — to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realize it is play.
- Alan Watts
Most folks would agree that any human being can talk to God. Some people call this prayer or supplication or adoration. But not everyone agrees that God talks back to humans. Some people call that idea heresy. Some call it insanity. It is neither. It is reality.
When we choose to view every situation with love, we can transport ourselves on the journey of the soul into eternal happiness, but when we allow fear and anger to consume us, we cause ourselves to be separate from God, which is the only manifestation of hell.
