Chapter 5: The Seamless Garment of Love Only Life Overcomes
Death Death does not happen to Life. Only that which is merely
touched and enlivened by Life can die (or seem to become
Lifeless). But that which is Alive is deathless and never
threatened. The being in Whom Man inheres is Life. And Life
is only conserved and increased by the process of changes,
or transformations. Life always persists, even after change
and death. Therefore, the idea that we are all going to die is
simply false. It is a false, self-frustrating, and deluding
presumption. “I” inheres in Life-and to believe otherwise is
to embrace fear, separation, unlove, and all the philosophy
that presumes death, rather than Life, to be the Principle
of Existence. The idea that “I” can, will, or must die is a
false belief, even a deadly act, founded on the failure to
fully observe, consider, and understand our experience. When
true understanding arises, there is only the natural and
positive presumption of Life, which inherently transcends
experience, change, and death through the Transfiguring and
Transforming Power of Love-Surrender. The Living Divine Being is not merely outside us and thus
separate from our essential being. Nor is the Living Divine
Being merely within us and thus separate from the body and
the world. Rather, we wholly inhere in the Living Divine
Being. Therefore, the Way of Life is neither a matter of
extroversion nor of introversion, but it is a matter of
conversion, or self-transcending Love-Communion with the
Infinitely Radiant and Eternally Living Divine Being. The
Practice is feeling-surrender of body, mind, and
attention-directly and via every kind of right or
appropriate action-to the point or degree of Ecstasy, or
Radiant Fullness of Life, beyond doubt and sorrow and
fear. Only Life overcomes death. Therefore, surrender to the
Life-Principle and presume only Life to be our
Situation.
