Day 167: There is one life, and that I share with God.

Just as there is only One Love and One Energy which we All share, there is only One Life that is shared by us and God.  The form it takes may differ, but the substance is the same.  Our lesson on this day begins as such:

There are not different kinds of life, for life is like the truth.  It does not have degrees.  It is the one condition in which all that God created share.  Like all His Thoughts, it has no opposite.  There is no death because what God created shares His life.  There is no death because the Father and the Son are one.

One Universal Law that is reflected both in this world and in Heaven is that Energy can neither be created nor destroyed.  It simply changes form.  We are Beings of Energy, therefore we can neither be created nor destroyed.  Our bodies are the forms our energies have taken presently, but when we lay our bodies down, our forms will change again.

What is Creation, then?  If everything is Energy, and Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, how did we come to be?  We speak often of the notion that we are as God created us.  But in fact we always have been, and always will be.  What we mean then by Creation is expansion of this unifying Energy.  God created us by His expansion of His Love.  We have been imbued as well with the ability to create.

Love.  Life.  Energy.  Truth.  God.  They are all synonymous.  They are simply different ways to speak of the same thing.  There is no denying the existence of these entities.  We have never known them not to have existed.  Is there any reason to believe that they will ever cease to be?  Sure, they have been hidden through the course of time.  We bury love for one another, fearful it will make us weak.  We slaughter our own bodies, hiding in the carnage any evidence for Life.  Potential energy becomes disguised while it awaits to bloom.  Truth becomes polluted by the little lies we tell.  And God is called a grand hallucination while we claim that He has failed to offer proof of His existence.

But God is all around us; the evidence, quite literally, is Everywhere.  Truth will always find a way, no matter how we try to hide it; Truth will never alter and will always be consistent.  Any Physics professor will tell you that potential energy is just as powerful as is the energy we see in motion; it is only a matter of time before that energy is activated.  Following every death, there is rebirth; a decaying body will supply the soil for another life to grow.  And Love, as we know, cannot be contained forever; invisible though it may be, its bonds are palpable.

So what is death then, but a dark fairytale that we tell ourselves?  Perhaps it is our crude attempt to offer definition to the Truth of Life.  If Life is all we know, then how can we be sure that we know it at all?  We therefore invent death to juxtapose all that Life is, so we see it from a place where we can know what it is not.  If that is our rationale for all the cruelty we've imposed, then don't you think it's time that we chose Life instead of death?  We've seen enough "destruction," and we've seen enough rebirth to know that Life is everpresent, everlasting, and that destruction is not possible.  Why should we then dwell within this dream for any longer?  Let us wake to our One Truth that there is but One Life we share, and that we share it All with our One God, Who is our Source of Everlasting Energy and Love.

Until tomorrow,
