Hello and welcome.
This is Jim Rajan.
Let us take a look at the law of longevity.
The law of longevity is a natural,
Universal law and it states that good things will always happen.
Good things will always happen in the future and the future is any moment that comes right after this now present moment.
Sounds lovely you say,
But yes,
But.
You love the power in the word but,
Don't you?
The cynical mind has had bad stuff,
Bad things happen and to be honest it is the bad things,
The accidents,
The tragedies,
The pain and suffering that you have easier access to remembering,
Isn't it?
We all remember the pain,
Don't we?
That's the mind keeping you alive,
Keeping you from harm,
But,
And this but belongs to me,
The law of longevity states that good things will happen.
Yes,
Not so good things will also happen,
But not in isolation,
Not on their own.
Good things,
Good things,
Good situations,
Good opportunities,
Good experiences will occur naturally too.
To be trained to survive is to be trained to watch out for danger,
That is,
Weariness,
Carefulness,
But this can close doors to you,
All around you,
All the time.
If you look for danger you'll find it.
If you look for suffering,
Pain and heartache you'll find it easily.
In fact,
As I say that,
Your mind starts to give you instant examples,
Doesn't it?
But there is an issue here.
What is good?
What is bad?
Are they so utterly polar?
Are they so completely separate always,
In every possible situation?
No.
Your perspective on good and bad is partly the issue.
Consciousness of what actually is,
What is actually happening,
Not what you think or project is happening,
That is a fundamental deep present awareness.
And yet more often than not you sit in denial of life because it's easier and because that's your way of conforming to this shared human endeavor.
But this shared human endeavor is generally based on fear,
Safety and survival at the core.
Always look past the initial frills and go to the core.
If you are conditioned not to take chances,
Chances will come and you will not see them,
Not react to them,
You will deny them.
But the law of longevity states that good things will happen.
You cannot fight it,
Just as you cannot fight gravity.
What do you do with gravity?
You succumb to it.
You take it for granted,
Succumb,
Submit,
Accept,
Appreciate even,
Adapt to and evolve around.
As you open yourself more and more,
More and more,
Define yourself less and less,
You see that there is good in bad and bad in good.
All good requires some kind of sacrifice and all bad has a positive outcome.
Why?
Because good things will happen.
All clouds have a silver lining.
Depending on where the sun is,
Depending on where the sun is placed,
Where the perceiving is placed,
Depending on your perception.
Now you can decide that bad things will happen and you will be right and you will seek them out diligently as your conditioning heralds until they appear.
Or you can give in to the law of longevity and open your eyes to all that truly is.
All is good.
All has goodness contained within.
Even the darkness helps you seek out the light.
Thank you.
