A New Year: Immortality begins Now.

“I salute the light within your eyes where the whole universe dwells.
For when you are at that center within you
and I am that place within me,
We shall be as one.”

– Tashunka Witko (Ogala Sioux Chief Crazy Horse)

"As beings of light we continue on endlessly—our immortal experience. This realization is of immense importance, for we are literally having our immortal experience in this very moment. Immortality doesn’t begin after we transition to Risen, but commenced when we first arose on this world, fired into life with a Divine Spark, to awaken and breathe and move up and out into this world, our earth. When one not only mentally accepts this realization about our immortality but is able to gain awareness of it and then feel the realization of it, life is experienced with much less fear and much more freedom. It is spiritually imperative to understand that besides having the experience, we must be able to observe the experience, to participate as observers, and to especially become aware of it by feeling it."

—from The Risen: Dialogues of Love, Grief, & Survival Beyond Death

"One’s Universe is continuously reflecting one’s existence back to one’s self. This reflection is one’s higher Self of Authenticity, and a direct yet private connection to one’s Universe, and to Creator Source. The more one is consciously, wakefully aware of being this Higher Self, the more simultaneously awakened one is to Self-Existence and to Creator Source—and, ever more increasingly, and deeply—to Creator’s Source awareness of you, this Awakened One. This interchanging, this intermingling of reflections is Love, and is not only the highest meaning of Life, but the only meaning, which erases any possible sentiment of meaninglessness or unworthiness, while ceaselessly validating the inalterable, total esteem with which Creator Source holds before It, each individual reflection of Itself. When an awakened Authentic Self is able to rest in awe at the realization of this Most Intimate Divine Relationship, one’s own seat of immortality has become enthroned."
