Staying Alive, or Eternal Life

1. Love the ONE, I AM, who IS above all, because this is the source of everything that is.

2. Love each "other", soul by soul, as you love your "own" soul.

The second comes from the first, and on these two, are founded the laws of the universe that lives and the creation that springs forth from the source expressed in these laws.

Create again.

Only if you accept your role in re-creating, can you continue to live.

If you seek your "own" life (apart and separate, this is what is meant by "own"), you will lose it, because it the more you look for it, the more you are focused on a extraordinarily tiny subset of your family, your tribe, your nation, your planet, and so the less likely you will dance in harmony with them, and you will get what you seek -- to be apart from everyone else, but not higher up. This is called "hell", death and the grave of solitude and separation from THE LIVING.

Beauty is complex, and is built on complexity, and is delicately created from a life lived in harmony with the laws of the universe.

So, keep your eyes open and see the harmony all around you, even when it is hidden (it will be hidden in plain sight) behind the noise of deformed creations.

Focus on what you see, that is beautiful. If you see what is beautiful, then what is ugly will go out of focus, and you will become a channel for the source that is above you and greater than you, to magnify (make larger) the beauty and cover the mistakes: "LOVE covers a large cluster of wrong and unkind acts."

The mechanism for this covering is forgiveness, which is the inclination of LOVE.

See in each other, the flame of life each of us have, who are THE LIVING, and see the beauty in each other, and forgive each other, because this is the DRIVE and DESIRE of BEING, of LIFE itself.

I am, she/he is, you/they are

It is curious that in modern English, we use the same "person" of a verb to speak both of a singular "you" and a plural "they."

Why is that I when I address another person directly, to greet them even, I see less singularity in that person when I say "How ARE YOU doing?" than I see in my own self ("I AM doing well, thank you") or in another individual that I am not directly addressing -- "How IS SHE doing?"

Why do I, in essence, use this plural voice both when referring to multiple people and to individual people that I directly address?

Is it because I am somehow missing the singularity of the "YOU" person? If I treat the only person I am directly engaging, the "YOU" person, as if he or she are a "THEY", won't I inevitably treat them "like everyone else", disregarding their unique essence that makes them singularly unique?

I AM.

YOU ___?

SHE IS.

THEY ARE.

open your eyes

don't let it happen again.

we have to stay together

or we will fall apart

let's turn off our tv's and cell phones and get to know each other again. there is no substitute for creating and sustaining true communities, and trying to live in our false communities will create false foundations that will crumble under a tiny misstep.

there is nothing to aruge over. if there is, then we are growing like a cancer, dangerous to our host, and we will be excised from it by her. there is nothing worth devouring each other over.

let's grow together in peace!

there will be a remnant.

do not fight anyone, even if you believe you would be justified in doing so. if you want life beyond this form, you must rise above competition, and you do this by laying down your life.

"resist not evil."

this has happened before, and it's how the next great thing always begins. those who overcome do so by drinking of the same cup of the one whom they call their master, and this is a cup of suffering unjustly and not fighting back on this level, and it is not by our declarations of allegiance in tongue that we overcome, but by the word of our testimony, of that what we actually do.

"bless your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you."

we will have the opportunity to prove of our allegiance to this statement.

the cracking of the foundation has already begun.

if we truly believe all we need is love, then let us live that out IN DEED. When we can welcome our oppressors with open arms and give them twice as much as they unjustly demand from us, and do this from our hearts truly out of love for THE LIVING, then we can rejoice that we have passed from death into life.

the time of NON-RESISTANCE is here, because when we fight back in our bodies physical, we are accepting that our bodies physical are our final forms, and so we are not light enough to escape the pull of gravity of the black hole of NON-EXISTENCE.
