1 John 3:14 … Passing from death <strong>to</strong> Life<br />
(01/04/20<strong>17</strong>)<br />
“We have passed from death <strong>to</strong> Life<br />
because we Love one another.”<br />
~ unknown (1 John 3:14)<br />
First & foremost, we do not “pass from death <strong>to</strong> Life” because we love one<br />
another mentally or emotionally. Indeed, those who claim <strong>to</strong> do so are the very<br />
imposters who bring us face-<strong>to</strong>-face with a living death in the first place …<br />
Instead it is far more potent <strong>to</strong> realize that we literally pass from the droning<br />
death of Meaninglessness in<strong>to</strong> the scintillating richness of Contented Bliss while<br />
we are actively Loving others. In every moment we reach past fear &/or desire<br />
in order <strong>to</strong> Care for others instead, we fully awaken and truly Live. And in every<br />
moment we do not, we sink back in<strong>to</strong> the humming mediocrity of a life unlived.<br />
