A
Life and Death Situation
By Michael Levy
 Most of us have a
virus protector on our computer. Unfortunately the world is full
of sick minded people and we have to be very cautions and guard
against many attacks. But what shield do we possess to help our
minds cope with the stresses and strains of modern day living?
The answers is a simple one. We are living as a human being, but
we are in essence a loving soul. The essence is eternal whereas
the human beings mind & body is a temporary identity.
A few weeks ago I was asked to explain the sensations of the
soul by a delightful lady.
I started by saying;
A
soul is the essence of intelligent energy that recognizes true
wisdom within the senses of Love in Joy. The soul becomes part
of the physical human being, the moment the first cell is born.
It is the true "life" identity of a human. Just look at a babies
face when it has food and comfort. It embodies a pure bundle of
joy.
The lady then asked me, What about death? Doesn't that take away
our joy? Is anything left?
I
responded;
There
can never be death of a soul. The body expires but intelligent
energy cannot disappear.
Joy is the core understanding of a soul. The only true feelings
are love and joy and all the positive feelings that grow from
them. Once we are aware of our love & joy in our physical life,
then the spirit of past loved ones are sparked in our minds. We
are aware there presence is "Alive" and connected to our souls.
We are still connected to all the loved ones who have
transcended back into pure spirit.
This understanding should be the true mental picture of the myth
called "life & death," otherwise we will just hold a memory of a
physical being and that brings a loss and sadness. We will feel
a loss, which attaches to a negative emotion, instead of our
souls joy. We love our family and friends but love is not a
possession. There are no permanent structures in a physical
life. Why concentrate our thoughts on a finite individual that
is a temporary visitor. Isn't it better to be aware of our
continuous true self?
She then inquired;
Do
you really want to say "The ONLY true feelings are Love and
Joy"? Doesn't this invalidate people that are feeling other
things such as grief, sadness, loss, anger right now? Those
feelings are indeed also very real, necessary for the grieving
process and true...aren't they?
I answered;
Only
in the eyes of the physical beings conditioning dwells grief and
suffering. This ego (Ease God Out) image of ourselves is only a
temporary condition and not true reality. We cannot live by such
basic, illusionary emotions, or we will waste most of our life
in a negative thought mist. This may sound harsh, but the
opposite is true. To live in joy, spreads joy, to live with
grief, spreads grief. Giving joy is caring. Spreading grief is
selfish. We grieve for our loss, not for the loved one, for
their physical presence has gone.
There is a big difference in words �emotions�- �feelings�
although they mean the same in the dictionary. We can only hold
grief when there is a loss. Physically there is a loss and our
emotions feel that loss. In our true state of feelings of love &
joy, there can never be a loss for spirit cannot die, for it was
not born. It flows through us as the wind brushes our cheek.
That is our true identity.
The whole of the cosmos is our domain. How can we grieve over an
eternal energy force that we are? It makes no sense to cry and
go against the realities of infinite wisdom.
The emotions that seem so real are part of our ego's view of the
world and not real at all. Reality means lasting and nothing in
the physical lasts. This is a deep subject which many folks take
a lifetime to learn and then it is too late. Most people never
do comprehend the true meaning that surrounds "life & death."
Folks need to continually ask more questions and the more
questions we ask, the clearer our reality becomes. The only
true, eternal feelings, are love & joy. There can be no other
reason to exist on earth without these feelings. We are not put
on earth to suffer as many religions preach.
Over many thousands of years, we have been trained to be-lie-ve
grieving is a normal response to the death of a loved one.
Especially a sudden death. But that does not mean it is natural
to grieve. To understand it is like peeling an onion. Each layer
will make us cry until we get to the end. Once we eat it, we
will stop crying and just enjoy it's flavor and goodness. After
a while we learn If we cook it first, then peel each layer, we
will not cry. Why live life in the raw?
We need to accept who we truly are and the recipe for that take
time and practice. If we function with half baked ideas, we will
get indigestion very often. If we live only by emotions, we will
cry very often. We will all feel negative emotions, for that is
how our bodies have evolved. But the fight or flight emotions we
originally felt, are today replaced with many other emotions
that injure our immune systems and put us in an early grave. Our
minds have not adjusted to modern day living and some religious
rules & regulations only make matter worse. The spiritual
essence of each religion is pure, but mankind changes it to suit
it's own power base.
The simple answer to the meaning of life is, 'God put us on
earth to enjoy every second,' no matter what chaos, catastrophes
and tragedies surrounds us.
Now who wants to
argue with God?
If we
do, we will cry and grieve a lot. When we walk with Spirit in
each step we take, no harm can befall our essence of de-light,
so what is there to be unhappy about? Health, wealth and joy
will flow freely in our direction if we allow spirits nature to
flow its course.
Once we can accept our true identity, we can live as an
authentic member of the universe. What is the point of
subsisting detached from a higher reality, as an ego being, with
no club card into spirit's truth?
A soul's energy ... is life's potency. Where there's life,
within and around a being, there resides a loving soul... Our
sole purpose is to en-joy from an air of love. What are you
waiting for... After all; it is not as though your boxed in a
life or death situation?
