We are saved by simply remaining in the one circle of life and love, and not by standing separate or superior. This is the One Great Love that will lead and carry you across when you die. If you are already at home with Love here, you will quite readily move into the eternal home of Love, which most of us call heaven.
Death is not a changing of worlds as most imagine, as much as the walls of this world infinitely expanding. If you get love here, you have found the eternal home base, and you will easily and naturally live forever. Life is never about being correct, but only and always about being connected. Just stay connected! Our only holiness is by participation and surrender to the Body of Love, and not by any private performance. This is the joining of hands from generation to generation that can still change the world – and will.
Every day we must choose to live in love—it is mostly a decision—and even be eager to learn the ever deeper ways of love – which is the unearned grace that follows from the decision!
