<p>Love is how we&#8217;re designed.</p>

<p>Love is our natural way.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Love is what we need to live.</strong></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote><p><em>As we give up our intention to die, what happens?</em></p></blockquote>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Why Accept Death?<br />
</strong><br />
Why accept death in our life, if the acceptance of death makes<br />
death happen?</p>
<p>The way of death was prepared, arranged and practiced by those<br />
who preceded us. They were wrong. Why agree and go their way,<br />
when we can chose a different direction?</p>
<p><strong>Live Your Life Now!</strong></p>
<p>It can be hard to accept that something done so long is wrong,<br />
no matter how cruel and obscene the action may be?</p>
<p>Death is wrong. Death is something we do to ourselves, by our thoughts<br />
and our actions.</p>
<p><strong>God&#8217;s Thought Was of Life, Not Death</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong>If God had a thought, it would surely be that we stop the<br />
brutality, the curelty and blindness of our actions that lead<br />
to death and pain.</p>
<p>We don&#8217;t have to die or suffer; we can live as we are and<br />
develop a sainthood of our own.</p>
<p><strong>Stop Believing in an End; Life Is Timeless!</strong></p>
<p>Beliefs are a dangerous inaction. Past ideas keep us in the past. But living<br />
in the present, taking charge of our lives and making good choices<br />
give us life that does not end in pain.</p>
<div id="attachment_5438" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://immortalnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IMG_0584.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-5438" title="Immortality Is a Choice" src="http://immortalnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IMG_0584-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Immortality Is a Deliberate Condition</p></div>
<p><strong>Make a Good Choice</strong></p>
<p>Our decisions will save us, rejecting cruel action makes us free.<br />
What others do wrong to us, is their wrong, having little to do with<br />
us.</p>
<p>We are who we are, and how we react shapes the fact of our lives.<br />
We are not what has been done to us, or what&#8217;s been done before<br />
we came.</p>
<p>We make our own decisions; we need not repeat a wrong.</p>
<p><strong>Death Is Wrong<br />
</strong></p>
<p>We do not have to die. Death is an ill informed reaction.  Death<br />
is a wrong. Death is cruel, but we choose it again and again,<br />
while another way is waiting?</p>
<p>To die takes a leap of faith, a faith in the wrong direction. To live<br />
takes no faith at all. To live is what we naturally do.</p>
<p>Death is wrong.</p>
<p><strong>Is There a Lesson to Learn from Death?</strong></p>
<p>If there is a lesson to learn from death, the lesson is that death<br />
is wrong and need not be.</p>
<p>Disease, suffering and injury are not a normal way of life.</p>
<p>We design life, not a &#8220;God&#8221; from above or a &#8220;Satan&#8221; from below;<br />
it is we who design what we have and how we live.</p>
<p>We are the ones who have made all of life.</p>
<div id="attachment_5440" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://immortalnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IMG_1679.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-5440" title="Immortalitiy: Acceptance Is the Key" src="http://immortalnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IMG_1679-150x150.jpg" alt="The Key to Immortalitiy Is Acceptance" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Life Accepting Life</p></div>
<p><strong>Acceptance Is the Key<br />
</strong><br />
We must accept that we have created what we have for a world;<br />
with acceptance and awareness, we can change it all to<br />
something good again.</p>
<p><strong>Death Is a Fate that Need Not Be<br />
</strong></p>
<p>We don&#8217;t have to believe that death has to happen.</p>
<p>We do not have to think that death is a &#8220;natural fact&#8221; or a &#8220;cycle of life.&#8221;<br />
Death is death; death is not life. Let&#8217;s not pretend?!</p>
<p>There is nothing good about death. Can we be brave enough to say this?<br />
Why are we afraid to call death something wrong, when we all know death<br />
should not be?</p>
<p>Why are we so affraid to challenge the &#8220;End&#8221; and call it what it is? Death IS<br />
something wrong we must change.</p>
<blockquote><p>We fear death so much&#8230; that we fear to change it, but we must. Death must end,<br />
and we must end it.</p></blockquote>
<p>We do not have to accept suffering and brutality as part of life, when it never is<br />
life at all?</p>
<p>Brutality, suffering and death are not natural. Most of us know this fact<br />
instinctively&#8211;we know it in our gut as fact. So why not act on this fact?<br />
Why not act out the fact that suffering is not what we want, and something<br />
we will not accept?</p>
<p>Should we not insist that cruelty has no place in life?</p>
<div id="attachment_5453" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://immortalnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/IMG_0501.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-5453" title="Immortality: We should not accept death, if we want life." src="http://immortalnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/IMG_0501-150x150.jpg" alt="Death Is Not an Option, if We Want Life" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Accepting Death Makes It Happen</p></div>
<p><strong>It Seems so Strange to Accept Something We Don&#8217;t Want?</strong></p>
<p>Of all the stupid things to accept&#8230; we accept death? And by accepting death,<br />
we create the space and the place for dying to happen.</p>
<p>Could we live instead? Could we possibly accept life and not death? Would this<br />
be a better action?</p>
<p>It seems so strange to want to grow old, why not just grow up and live instead?</p>
<p><strong>We Made Death a Fact</strong></p>
<p>It seems so strange to accept brutal consequences as natural fact, when<br />
this is what we have made? We act like death is someone else&#8217;s fault,<br />
the cause of something other than ourselves, when this is not true at all?</p>
<p>We made death a fact by our acts. We die by our own hand and not the<br />
hand of someone else. We have created a victim world, where all of nature<br />
and ourselves behave with brutality. It is our fault we have this world, and<br />
we should change it now.</p>
<div id="attachment_5441" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://immortalnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IMG_2790.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-5441" title="Immortality Is Change" src="http://immortalnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IMG_2790-150x150.jpg" alt="The Change of Immortality" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Immortality Is Change</p></div>
<p><strong>Should We Feel a Healthy Need to Change?</strong></p>
<p>We should feel a need to change these facts, and not accept<br />
the cruelty of death as a &#8220;fact of life&#8221;?</p>
<p>We should be ashamed of our lack&#8212;our lack of confidence, bravery<br />
and willingness to change these &#8220;facts.&#8221;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s our problem. We created it. We need to take responsiblilty for<br />
life, all of it,  and change the fact of suffering and death.</p>
<p><strong>There Is Nothing to Lose<br />
</strong><br />
There is nothing to lose, our lives are already lost. So why not change<br />
the fact of death to life, and stop this numb and stupid action of millennia?</p>
<p>Have we not had enough of mayhem and cruelty&#8230; of death? Isn&#8217;t it time<br />
to change these facts?</p>
<p>We have lived as fools enough. It is time to call ourselves<br />
out, to turn about and change what we&#8217;ve done wrong.</p>
<p>We are NOT children; we are adults who can change the facts; we can<br />
change the facts by changing our thoughts, words and actions.</p>
<p>We have acted wrong, and the world now wrongs us in similar action.</p>
<p>It is now the time to change the way we act, and change the way of<br />
our creation.</p>
<p><strong>It Is Time to End Death</strong></p>
<p>There is no force to overcome, no karma that must be<br />
undone. Death does not have to be defeated or outrun.</p>
<p>Death is simply an act of wrong doing, of wrong hearted<br />
action that is acting back upon us. To change the facts, we<br />
need to love with discipline and action.</p>
<div id="attachment_5443" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://immortalnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IMG_4089.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-5443" title="Immortality's Image" src="http://immortalnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IMG_4089-150x150.jpg" alt="Image of Immortaltiy" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Still and Steady</p></div>
<p><strong>There Is No Reason to Die</strong></p>
<p>We simply have to live, look and walk in another direction.<br />
We have to entertain the possibility that death is an option.</p>
<p>This begins with a thought, and becomes a fact with sustained<br />
intent and effort over time.</p>
<p>God did not create death, and death has no lesson to teach us,<br />
beyond the fact that it should not happen.</p>
<p>There is no lesson, no secret or riddle&#8230; death, suffering and pain<br />
are things<em>we</em> do, that we do not have to do.</p>
<p>There is no lesson. There is simply the choice to do something<br />
different.</p>
<p>By thoughts, words and action we change our present situation.</p>

<p><strong>What are your creative abilities doing for you? </strong><br />
Are you wasting time, or making something new?</p>
<p>We all create somehow and some way&#8211;conscious and<br />
aware, or asleep to what we do.</p>
<p>With every breath we take, we breathe new life into<br />
the world. Where does this life go, and what does it do?</p>
<p><strong>As we live and create our life, what do we choose?</strong></p>
<p>Will we live without thought or plan, reacting to the outside world as though it<br />
controls our life&#8230; or will we  make something new of ourselves?</p>
<p><strong>With each breath we take, will we give something good to the world</strong>?<br />
Will we act with consciousness and life, or react in a march toward death?</p>
<p>What will we make of ourselves and this world? What will we do with our soul<br />
and our breath?</p>

<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karma">Karma</a><strong>,</strong> in Indian religions: &#8220;is the concept of &#8216;action&#8217; or &#8216;deed&#8217;, understood as that which causes the entire cycle of cause and effect.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>When we are still and acting from our Core, there is no action acting upon us.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>In the perfect state of human condition, there is no karma&#8230; we are without reaction, and there is nothing acting upon us. We are acting from the Perfect Core of who we are.</p>
<p><strong>Acting from our Perfect Core:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Keeps us well</li>
<li>Improves our strength</li>
<li>Leads to immortality</li>
</ul>
<p>Our Perfect Core of Love does not evolve; it simply IS. Our Perfect Core of Love does not judge or interfere. Our Perfect Core of Love exists as who we are.</p>
<p><strong>As we act from our Perfect Core, Karma is dead.</strong> A life of reacting to the whims of fate does not exist. A life of chaos where we are harmed, and where we harm&#8230; does not evolve.</p>
<p>When we act from our Perfect Core, karma does not take place. We simply are who we are. The Immortal Self and Karma do not coexist. When we live as our True and Perfect Selves, there is no cause and effect, .</p>

<p><strong>Illness sometimes stops our world</strong>. While ill, we have opportunity. We can stay in our disease or use it as an opportunity to discover our deep and perfect selves, the perfection in the world.</p>
<p><strong>Illness is frightening, for good cause</strong>. We suffer, are in pain and may die? Illness puts a stop to our world as we know it.</p>
<blockquote><p>We can deny our difficult condition, or work with our problem and learn.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>The best lesson from illness</strong> is to see how valuable, perfect and powerful our life really is, to see we have ability and belief deeper than we may have imagined.</p>
<p>In good health we can live with abandon, not thinking about the value of life; but in illness <strong>we have an opportunity to see a deeper quality and purpose in living</strong> that carries to all of our life.</p>
<p>In illness, we may find we are more powerful and perfect than we ever knew?</p>
