If you want to Live Forever

Saint Germain:
"If you want to live forever you may die right now
But if you are ready to die right now you may live forever!"

When Saint Germain first gave this Zen Koan to me I didn't even really know what a Zen Koan was and what he said didn't make a lot of sense to me at the time. So, I had learned from being around him that I had to sort of store a whole lot of information until it made more sense to me. And this obviously was something he wanted me to remember. It was some time in the 1970s when he told me this.

I think now that I'm 64 (65 in the spring) I can finally make some sense of it. ''If you let God live inside your body like I did when I was 15 you aren't going to have the kind of life most other people do. You have to expect miracles to happen all the time. However, a human mind cannot fathom just how great miracles can be. So, unless you are ready to die at any moment, you will physically die from all the changes miracles happening all the time will create. So, you have to be literally ready to die at all moments to be able to survive God living inside your body with you.

It is sort of like this. You get used to the world being one way but the next moment God changes everything and then you have to get used to a new world. And not only that God has also changed the lives of everyone around you in various ways and then you have to get used to that. And then just as you get used to things being any one way it changes into something else, and then something else and then something else. Until You just give up and say, "Okay God. You are in charge of all of us. What do you want me to do next?" And that is the secret to this Zen Koan that Saint Germain gave me in the 1970s and it took me this long to even be able to describe this to you with any satisfaction.
