<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As we experience our true self, love comes alive.<br />
As we are honest with ourselves, we have new life.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Love Is Everything!<br />
</strong><br />
Love is our identity; love&#8217;s everything we are.</p>
<p>Love is more important than anything else&#8230; the air we<br />
breathe, the food we eat, the sleep or shelter we need.</p>
<p>Little in life is of value if there is no love.</p>
<p><strong>Love Is a Necessity</strong></p>
<p>We need love to live; without love we perish and weaken.</p>
<p>We need love to think. We need love to act in an<br />
intelligent way. We need love for clarity.</p>
<p>Without love we suffer and lose direction.</p>
<p><strong>Use Your Will to Love</strong></p>
<p>Love is not a candied treat to buy from a shop.</p>
<p>Love is not a gift bestowed by fate.</p>
<blockquote><p>Love comes from the use of will when we chose<br />
to love.</p></blockquote>
<p>Love is not given to some, and denied a few. Love<br />
results from the use of our loving will.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://immortalnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/rainbow_clipart_sun.gif"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-5951" title="Love Is Immortal Life" src="http://immortalnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/rainbow_clipart_sun.gif" alt="Immortality and Love" width="200" height="128" /></a><br />
</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Transform Your Life</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong>By the love we desire and make, we change our lives.<br />
By the love we will into life, we change the day.</p>
<blockquote><p>Love is a discipline, a difficult choice to make.</p></blockquote>
<p>Love is something we do by our will, and not by<br />
mistake.</p>
<p>Love is a choice and a deed.</p>
<p>By our will and behavior, we put love in place.</p>
<p><strong>Life Is Love</strong></p>
<p>Life is love itself. But we must give our love to<br />
life, for life to give its love to us.</p>
<p>Reacting with love, in difficult times, brings us loving<br />
strength. Using love throughout the day gives us loving grace.</p>
<p>Love right now. Don&#8217;t wait.<br />
Love right now. You can.</p>
<p>Love yourself and everyone else.</p>
<p>No matter how you think or feel, love right now and<br />
love again.</p>
<p><strong>The Instant We Love</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://immortalnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/heart_clipart.gif"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-5948" title="Love and Immortaltiy" src="http://immortalnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/heart_clipart.gif" alt="Immortality and Love" width="200" height="180" /></a></p>
<p>The instant we love, life favors us more than the<br />
instant before.</p>
<p>We can love right now, this instant.</p>
<p>There is no reason not to love. We can love all we want.</p>
<p>Right now, you can love. Chose something to love,<br />
and love all you can. Right now, this instant&#8230;  love!</p>

<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>With Knowledge, Love Unfolds. By Love, All Is Known.</strong></p>
<p>Love can be strange and elusive? What is love, and how do we get it?</p>
<p>When we have love, what is happening to us, and what do we do with this love?</p>
<p><strong>Love Is Our Natural State of Being</strong></p>
<p>Perhaps &#8220;love&#8221; is best understood as the natural state of life and health: When we are fully functioning and at our best&#8212;we, the world and everyone else are in love.</p>
<blockquote><p>Love is the essential state of human mind and body.</p></blockquote>
<p>In love, we know what needs to be known. With love, we do what needs to be done.</p>
<p>Love is a natural state where all of life cooperates; love is when we act in agreement with life.</p>
<p><strong>Love Is Not Luck</strong></p>
<p>True love is deliberate action.</p>
<p>Love is not something that comes and goes. Love is something we leave and return to<br />
as we choose. Yet love can stay forever, if this what we want?</p>
<p>However, practice and commitment are required to love on a continual basis. To love without<br />
ceasing requires a bit of effort, it is not something that most of us naturally do.</p>
<p>So the &#8220;trick&#8221; to having love, if there is a trick&#8230; is knowing how we leave love, and knowing<br />
how we return?</p>
<p>We leave love by the simple decision to not act in love, to feel and be something not of love.<br />
We leave love by not behaving with love or kindness. We acquire and keep love by<br />
acting in love.</p>
<div id="attachment_5577" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://immortalnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/IMG_0118.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-5577" title="Immortality Is Acting as We Truly Are" src="http://immortalnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/IMG_0118-300x225.jpg" alt="Our Truth Is Immortaltiy" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">I&#39;m over it.</p></div>
<p><strong>Leaving Love Is Simple&#8212;It&#8217;s a Choice.</strong></p>
<p>Most of us were taught universal truths at a young age in school, by our parents, etc. We were told to act with kindness, be forgiving, &#8220;turn the other cheek,&#8221; love thy neighbor, etc.</p>
<p>However&#8230; it is difficult to learn these lessons, to learn these truths if they come by words only, and not by human example?</p>
<p>What gets in the way of love? Fear, greed and anger inhibit loving action. Where do these disruptive motives come from? They come from the thought that we will die if we do not acquire goods and sustanance from a source outside of ourselves. This thought is wrong and incorrect. Needs can be met by loving action, where no one is hurt and nothing is &#8220;taken.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Love Defeating Actions</strong></p>
<p>Love defeating actions come from the idea that we must fight, kill and capture to survive.</p>
<p>Love defeating action comes from false ideas of self limitation.</p>
<p>Disaster in the human race occurs as we fight ourselves or someone else.</p>
<p><strong>Is Something Wrong?</strong></p>
<p>All of this wrong&#8212;all the fight, jealousy and fear&#8212;all of this is fiction based on false ideas<br />
of limitation.</p>
<p>The idea of any living creature as a predatory being is wrong; the consequence of this<br />
thinking is disaster. The disaster of predatory thinking plays out in ourselves and the<br />
world as chaos, suffering and death. The world is not designed for predatory behavior.</p>
<p>Instead of a predetory world of killing and taking, why not have a world where we all belong?<br />
Why not have a world designed to help, assist and provide&#8230; all we need? Why not<br />
believe in this and take action to make it a reality. Why not create a better world that<br />
provides what we need?</p>
<p>How about the idea that we are here to help each other? </p>
<p><strong>Why Fight and Compete?</strong></p>
<p>We fight and compete in obvious ways, such as war. We injure each other with subtle words<br />
every day&#8230; by habit. We harm each other and are often not aware that we do? Instead, can we<br />
be kind in thought, word and deed.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Love Is Always Here</strong></p>
<p>Love is everywhere as the essence of our soul. Love is here to help us every day. Love is here<br />
to give us bliss, assistance and ease. Love is here to do the work of life. We are here to love,<br />
and love is our essential life.</p>
<div id="attachment_5453" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://immortalnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/IMG_0501.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-5453" title="Immortality: We should not accept death, if we want life." src="http://immortalnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/IMG_0501-300x225.jpg" alt="Death Is Not an Option, if We Want Life" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">If love is a choice, I chose to lie down.</p></div>
<p><strong>Love Is a Choice</strong></p>
<p>We have to chose to love: For love to be,  we have to chose to love ourselves and others.</p>
<p>Of course, to love this way is a challenge in a world where people choose not to love, but choose to fight and compete instead.</p>
<p>So change! Change now! Choose to love&#8212;be loving, kind and considerate. Love when it is not easy to love. Be kind when kindness in not required or expected.</p>
<p><strong>Now Is the Time!</strong></p>
<p>Love when it&#8217;s impossible to love, and your ability to love will grow. Love when love<br />
is not justified at all, and your love will be a sacred power. Love for no reason at all!</p>
<p>Love all the world, and the world will be in love with you.</p>
<blockquote><p>Love is not a force, but a timeless state where our soul resides.</p></blockquote>
<p>Begin with a smile&#8212;most smiles are returned. Add to that smile, and the world<br />
will give.</p>
<p>It is simple to love, to have a life of loving kindness. But we must love with<br />
strength and habit for the world to be a loving place.</p>
<p>We are the conduits, generators and creators of love. We have to do it, love.</p>
<p>Love changes us; love makes the world!</p>

<p><strong>There Is No Wrong</strong></p>
<p>When we are synchronized with life, there is no wrong.<br />
All of life is in our favor; we are all of life.</p>
<p>When we are still and feeling who we are, knowing what is<br />
known, we are immortal. Time is gone. There is one moment,<br />
&#8220;now.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>The Eternal Now</strong></p>
<p>Now is the eternal moment. Now is where we are.</p>
<p>Now is when and how we feel the presence of ourselves.<br />
Now is when we&#8217;re born.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>When We Love, We Know</strong></p>
<p>When we love, we know we are the same as life&#8211;as rock, as<br />
stone and dirt.</p>
<p>Synchronized with life, there is no fault; there is love alive<br />
as who we are, love in all of life.</p>
<p>Synchronized with living love, with all we ever are, we know<br />
the peace in us alive, as a guiding star.</p>
<p><strong>We Are Alive</strong></p>
<p>As we know ourselves, there is no past, no wrong to what<br />
we&#8217;ve done. There is only who we are, alive and full of love.</p>
<p><strong>Perfect Life</strong></p>
<p>The more we know our soul, breathing in and out, the more<br />
we live as who we are, loving and devout.</p>
<p>The trees, the world and all life are with us in our work.</p>
<p>As we live and shape our way, things constantly improve.<br />
As we know and love,with all our selves, we make a perfect day.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Create Good Feelings!</strong></p>
<p>We are in control, the circumstances of life do not control us.<br />
We don&#8217;t have to feel good, before we act to feel good.</p>
<p>If we&#8217;re angry, we can use the force of that anger to create<br />
the love we want. We don&#8217;t have to stay in anger</p>
<p><strong>Love Is a Strength, Not a Passive Condition</strong></p>
<p>Authentic love can&#8217;t be hurt&#8211;but hopes, dreams and wishes can be crushed.</p>
<ul>
<li>If you feel resentment, use the force of your resentment to forgive.</li>
<li>If you feel sad, use the depth of your sadness to find hope.</li>
<li>If you feel hate, use your hate to love.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>We Are in Control</strong></p>
<p>We are in control of our thoughts, feelings and behavior. If we feel bad in any<br />
way, we can use the force of our bad feelings to create feelings and circumstances<br />
we want.</p>
<p><strong>We Are the Creators</strong></p>
<p>As we understand ourselves as the creative force in our lives, we can change anything.<br />
Anger can create love. Resentment can create forgiveness. Sadness can find understanding<br />
and compassion.</p>
<p><strong>We Can Have What We Want</strong></p>
<p>We can have anything we want&#8230; if we point our will in the direction of our want&#8230; if we think,<br />
speak and move toward our need.</p>
<p>Anything is possible when we understand we are the creative force in our lives.</p>

<p>we begin as partners.</p>

<p><strong>Beliefs can make war and prevent helpful change.</strong></p>
<p>We cling to the thought that we are right and others<br />
are wrong: This is the same as the kidney of our body<br />
feeling it is the only organ formed correctly, with the heart<br />
and the lungs surely at fault?</p>
<p><strong>As we fight to defend what is &#8220;right&#8221; or &#8220;wrong,&#8221; </strong><br />
<strong>we appear as foolish as this thought!<br />
</strong><br />
What kind of thinking is this? What kind of life do we create when<br />
we are at war with ourselves and all the world?</p>
<p>LIfe works when we love each other as ourselves, doing no wrong or<br />
harm. Life works as we  join, help and cooperate.</p>
<p><strong>The discipline of life, is to do what is right and good for us all.</strong><br />
The belief in &#8220;wrong&#8221; or &#8220;right&#8221; moves us to fight, not cooperate or love.</p>
<p>Life is not about belief, takings sides and &#8220;making a stand.&#8221; Life<br />
demands we accept, join and forgive.</p>
<p><strong>Life demands we create with our heart and love what we&#8217;ve found.</strong></p>
<p>Life works when we forgive, love and find value in everyone.<br />
No one has to be wrong or right? We are the same body and mind<br />
living life.</p>
<p><strong>There is no one to fight, and no where to go. We are all the same.<br />
</strong><br />
Love and understanding heal what&#8217;s broken with the world. Love and<br />
understanding bring the forms of life to agreement, making all that&#8217;s good.</p>
<p><strong>Alone and at war, we die. Together we live.</strong> There is but one body<br />
and mind; it is ours. All of life is the same and good.</p>
<p>Whenever we wrong another, we are wronged in ourselves.<br />
Whenever we harm another, we and all the world are harmed.</p>
<p><strong>There is no way out but to love.</strong></p>

<p>Of course we want to resist a virus or a disease; there are many things we<br />
do not want or need in our life. We should resist temptations that could kill<br />
us or do harm.<a href="http://thelessonsinlove.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IMG_0027.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-824" title="IMG_0027" src="http://thelessonsinlove.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IMG_0027-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p><strong>However, when do we really need to resist or defend? </strong>Most of life will go<br />
quite well, if we do not resist the process of life.</p>
<p>Much of our resistance may be unnessary, without reason and not helpful<br />
to our situation?</p>
<p><strong>Have you resisted the length of the day? </strong>Do you resist the morning<br />
when you awake? Do you resist the sun when it goes down?</p>
<p>Do you resist the ride to work? Do you resist your life in any way?</p>
<p>Why not give in to the fact that we live, that we are alive? Why not give in to the fact<br />
that we love and accept?</p>
<p><strong>Resistance, as a frame of mind, is rarely required. </strong>Resisting our essential nature<br />
can strangle our life.</p>
<p>Resistance to the love of our soul, mind and heart can make our life short and ill defined.</p>
<p>Why resist when resistance is not required?</p>
<p><strong>Why not give yourself to love in an open way, </strong>not resisting who you are?</p>
<p>We are open to life, loving and giving by nature&#8230; it is the way we designed.</p>
<p>Give in to life and the best of who you are; why resist it?</p>
