“As physical creatures, you have not come to terms with the fact that there is not death. There is only eternal, everlasting life. You are so fixated about death, that you actually legislate laws against it. You literally say to one another, “It is not appropriate to die.” And we say, it is not that it is inappropriate to die, it is that it is not possible. You cannot die. You can withdraw your attention from one place and give it to another, but there is not that which you know as death.
[…] As you emerge into your physical bodies, and they begin right away, talking to you about death, warning you against it, guarding you against it, telling you to watch out, for you do not know around which corner death may come to you. Most of you develop a very strong resistance toward death. Rather than embracing life, you push against death. Rather than embracing wellness, you push against illness. Rather than embracing abundance, you push against poverty. Rather than embracing wellness, you push against aids, you push against cancer. Are you getting the gist of what we’re saying? And so there is a sort of learned behavior, learned by the physical, taught one to another that says “We are vulnerable!”, and tied in with that is the attitude “We are unworthy!” In other words, “Better not die too soon, you might not have your mark on the chart, you might not have proved yourself worthy enough.” And so wrapped around in all of this is a fear and an abhorrence of death, so much so that when someone dies, you mourn the fact that he’s gone. Think about it, when someone very young dies, you say “Oh what a terrible shame. That should not have been. He was robbed.” as you start pointing blame here and there, “We’ve got to do something about this dying business” you say.
And so in order to justify death, which is something that all of you do, you allow the disintegration of your apparatus. Aging, deterioration, illness, all of that is your way of justifying your way out. Because you believe that you must justify everything. “I do this because” you say, “Well why did you do that? Well I did it because”, there are very few of you that are willing to say, “I did it because it felt good! I do it because I like it! I do it because it’s my natural state of being!”, instead you say “Well I do it because..”, you see what we’re saying? And so, you have to let a great big truck come and smash your body real good before you will give yourself the justification for leaving, or you must get some disease that sucks all of the life from you before you justify your leaving. When the reality of it is, you need no justification for coming into the physical, you need no justification for leaving, it’s just a matter of what you are wanting.
And so we say, much to do is made about nothing. It is our promise to you, that it is not possible for anything that is in the form of injustice to take place anywhere in the Universe. In other words, if you could be so wicked as to put yourself in a position where you would perform an abortion, that would be snatching the Life Force from someone who deserves it, if that could happen, we say to you, it would be someone who wasn’t all that keen on coming forth anyway. There is nothing in the Universe that is ever unjust. Everything is always in perfect balance, you see.”
