LAW OF THREE (42) Life-Death-Love

LAW OF THREE (42)

LIFE, DEATH, LOVE

"Every one who begins to study and know their own states is well aware that our experience is a constant dying and rebirth, We must not be frightened when we come to see this, although it is a terrifying thing that we have no power to keep hold of our own life; that is has to be renewed or given back to us by something that does not come from ourselves.

But even when we do see the helplessness with which we fall into oblivion, at that moment when we are most trying to hold on to ourselves, we must learn o trust that there is something than call us back. And if it calls us back from sleep at night, it will call us back from the other sleep into which we shall enter, the sleep of death."J.G.Bennett

I can´t imagine a more reassuring description of the presence and action in our lives of a power does does not come from ourselves in which we are invited to place our most absolute trust

St Paul on absolute trust adds:

" I am convinced that neither death, nor life, neither angels nor rulers, neither things present, nor thing to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in creation will separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus." 

Romans 8:38.

The recognition of the presence and action of the love of God in our lives surely must be the ultimate source of inner stability. St. Paul's realisation starts with the words "I am convinced",  and J.G.Bennett's use of the words "we must trust", both speak of the inspiring insights which enabled them to recognise the presence and action of a third conscious force in their own lives.

"When two or three are gathered together in my name I am there in the midst of them"

Matthew 18:20
