			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The following article is from my book, &#8220;Lessons in Love.&#8221; See <a href="www.TheLessonsInLove.com">www.TheLessonsInLove.com</a> for more about this book.</p>
<div id="attachment_4923" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://immortalnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/BEACHBOY.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-4923" title="Immortality and Love" src="http://immortalnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/BEACHBOY.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="194" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Immortality and Love</p></div>
<p><strong>Heaven Is Here</strong></p>
<p>We do not need to die to go to heaven; we can and should create it here, through God&#8217;s will. If we realize that we can have heaven on earth, that this is the plan, we can begin to let it happen. We have all the ingredients: love, will and the presence of God.</p>
<p><strong>At Peace with the World</strong></p>
<p>All of Creation points us toward one thing–heaven. Heaven is the spiritual state where we are at one with God, one mind and one purpose, our wills the same.</p>
<p><strong>Dreams Come True</strong></p>
<p>All our dreams, good dreams, come true in heaven. God wants what is good and has given humanity the means to attain it: The infirm will walk. The sick will be healed. War will end, and all will be fed. The terms of how and when this will happen, are up to us?</p>
<p><strong>Heaven Is a Choice</strong></p>
<p>Heaven is a conscious choice. When will we say <em>enough</em> to what is harmful in life? When will we know we are here to be happy, healthy and free?</p>
<div id="attachment_7059" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 154px"><a href="http://immortalnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/FWB-Mom-Flowers-Destin-Commons-018.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-7059  " title="Immortality and Heaven" src="http://immortalnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/FWB-Mom-Flowers-Destin-Commons-018-225x300.jpg" alt="Immortality and Heaven" width="144" height="192" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Heaven Is Here!</p></div>
<p><strong>Heaven Comes to Earth</strong></p>
<p>Heaven comes to earth as we let it, as we usher it in with our minds, hearts and souls. As we become one with God and see ourselves as God sees us, we come to be in heaven. As we help and do good&#8230; we bring heaven, the dwelling place of God, to earth.</p>
<p><strong>Heaven Is Our Soul</strong></p>
<p>Heaven will come as we desire and need it. Heaven is God’s gift for being who we are. Let it happen?let heaven be here.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Immortality is the subject of this video&#8212;immortality of our body, mind and soul&#8212;living a life without illness, death and accident, and evolving by our own efforts.</p>
<div id=im_box_ep style="width:576px; height:324px;"></div>
<p><script>
function im_is_loaded_ep(options) { 
     if( typeof im_done != "undefined" ) { im_auto_ep( options ); }
     else { setTimeout( "im_is_loaded_ep( { video_id: 1016726148 } )", 100 ); }
}
im_is_loaded_ep({ video_id:1016726148 });
</script></p>
<p><strong>Is Immortality Possible?</strong></p>
<p>Immortality is very possible! It’s as simple as turning right instead of left. As humanity, over eons, we have been turning in the wrong direction. All we have to do is turn in the right direction… and we’ll get a different life experience.</p>
<p><strong>What We Have Now</strong></p>
<p>What is the life experience that we all have now? If we’re lucky, we may live a long time and have good health, but eventually our health fails. The health of our family members and loved ones is unreliable and gets worse. Eventually most of us die.</p>
<p><a href="http://immortalnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/turn.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-6682" title="Immortality and Love" src="http://immortalnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/turn-300x225.jpg" alt="Love and Immortality" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Turn in a Different Direction<br />
</strong><br />
Suffering is something most of us endure. We live in a world full of accident, full of seemingly random action and random behavior. But how do we live towards immortality&#8212;live in immortality? <em>We turn in a different direction</em>.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve been turning in the way of death. We’ve been doing things that don’t support human life or any life at all. We&#8217;ve been doing things that don’t support the environment&#8212;plants, animals and healthy air. We&#8217;ve been living in ways that literally don’t support our life form, Homo sapiens.</p>
<p>What I am here to do, is tell you we can turn in a different direction&#8212;the direction of integrity, love and spirit&#8212;and not act with anger all the time.</p>
<p><a href="http://immortalnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/angrybaby.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-6680" title="Immortality" src="http://immortalnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/angrybaby-300x195.jpg" alt="Live forever" width="240" height="156" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Anger Makes Poor Decisions</strong></p>
<p>We’re all going to have some anger, but not making life decisions from anger and not making life decisions that destroy&#8230;  may be the best way to go?</p>
<p><strong>To Act in Harm, Hurts Us the Most</strong></p>
<p>As we destroy others, we destroy ourselves. To act, to hurt or destroy another human being… that act of destruction comes out of who we are. The active destruction of another person first takes place in ourselves, in us, and does the most damage to who we are, not the other person.</p>
<p><strong>No Harm Is Best</strong></p>
<p>To harm another person always harms us. We are harmed the most by our harmful behavior, not the person we harm. When we act out of anger, vindictiveness or hate, to hurt another person&#8212;we do that destruction first to ourselves, deep inside, to our bodies, mind and soul. We harm ourselves the most.</p>
<p><strong>Body of Love<br />
</strong><br />
As our action goes forward into the world, there is an action that takes place inside us, at the same time; this action is the foundation or platform of our acting out into the world. If we act out in love, we create love inside of ourselves. By our actions, our behavior&#8230; we literally structure our bodies, our brains, nervous systems, muscles, bones and organs&#8230; we structure all of these with love, when we love.</p>
<p><a href="http://immortalnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/litter.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-6684" title="Immortality and Personal Development" src="http://immortalnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/litter-300x225.jpg" alt="Immortality and Love" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Mindless Disregard<br />
</strong><br />
When we act with vengeance, hate and harm … or even mindless disregard for others&#8230; that’s what we’re creating inside ourselves. First we have a thought inside our head, then we act on it. This action creates a physical moving out, of ourselves toward the world. We are the persons impacted foremost by what we do, then the world is affected.</p>
<p><strong>Actions Make Our World<br />
</strong><br />
How do we act? We act with our thoughts, words and physical behavior. The more we think and act with harm, or mindless disregard, that’s what goes on in our minds and our bodies, and that’s how people start treating us.</p>
<p><strong>There Is another Way<br />
</strong><br />
There’s a way of life, of love… of consistent results and happiness, of well-being and strength. We get all this by turning away from death, away from accident, harm and disease… and turning toward life.</p>
<p>We get love&#8230; we get the permanent love of our soul, that comes alive as we act more and more in good-will, with good-will in our life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>( This is an excerpt from my book “Lessons In Love” at <a href="http://www.TheLessonsInLove.com ">www.TheLessonsInLove.com </a>)</p>
<blockquote><p>When we are living in the moment, with honesty and truth&#8211;the nature of God shines forth as our own.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://immortalnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/P1030436.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-5910" title="Immortality for You" src="http://immortalnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/P1030436-150x150.jpg" alt="Immortaltiy Is You" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Living in the Moment</strong></p>
<p>We hear the importance of living in the moment, of being oriented in the present? If we are worried or obsessed about things we cannot control, we miss out on the greatest part of life&#8211;the love of our soul.</p>
<p><strong>Love Right Now!</strong></p>
<p>Love takes place in the moment, right now! It is difficult to feel love when we are worried about the future or the past. The present moment always has love waiting for us, if we look. The moment of love is waiting for us now, as we are.</p>
<p><strong>The Future and the Past</strong></p>
<p>In life, we have to think about the future and the past. We can do this in a gentle way that doesn&#8217;t cause disturbance. We can let go of worry, insecurity and resentment. Such consuming emotions take time we could use somewhere else.</p>
<p><strong>We Have All We Need!</strong></p>
<p>All we need is in the present. The healing action of love takes place now. Nothing in our life needs to change before we improve. We can be in love this moment.</p>
