| BkIII:15.III.5 | Sons and daughters of divine beauty! You love life so much. If you look through the eyes of Christ, the eyes of truth, you will recognize that the struggle for survival—the engine of what was once the egoic life—is but the desire to live. Why would you not seek to annihilate what could destroy your life except that your self wants to live eternally? The fearful can be very cruel. If one is motivated by the desire to be, then the destiny of death can never be accepted. Beloved of Heaven, you will never accept death as the end for which you were created. You know, you intuit, that it does not make sense. You experience it in your fury at a world that seems bent on annihilating you. Beloved sons and daughters, if you are as compassionate to yourself and as merciful as God is, you would understand that all these states of mind derive from attachment to the body. |
