Sure as the sun will rise each day, you ARE. It is that simple. You exist. You cannot be extinguished. When the body dies, that which lies beyond is not all darkness. There is no need to fear death. Life goes on, my friend, eternally. Does this sound boring to you? Then you have not experienced the great fun of creating your life. You are letting life in the human world run you.
Imagine an existence of one pleasant activity and adventure after another, peppered with challenges—just enough of them to remind you how much you enjoy the pleasant times. In this way, life never becomes dull. You live for each moment, fully in each moment. THAT is living. That is what you can expect when the curtain falls on this lifetime … not darkness, but yet another adventure, full of opportunities to develop your divinity.
You are. God is. The sun always rises.
