Hope Springs Eternal if we Die Daily

When I was young I didn't understand what this meant. But, after I asked God to live in my body with me so I didn't die of night time seizures. God came into my life and I learned what this title meant in earnest.

I was terrified of the experience of dying and waking up shaking after being unconscious for   an hour or more (especially when I got up and ran for my parents room and slammed into the door and broke my nose in the dark when I had an aura (an aura is the awareness that something is very wrong and you are going to have a seizure). 

So, at age 15 I asked God to come live in my body with me so I wouldn't die from seizures which i almost did. But, after doing this my seizures suddenly stopped from the concussion around age 9 from rock climbing with my father in 1957 at Chilao park in the Angeles National Forest near Los Angeles. And my seizures never returned after God moved into my body with me.

When God came to live inside my body ever since it was a lot to deal with and I wasn't entirely comfortable with God living inside my body until I was about 30 years old when I realized I had become a blessing to all life in the universe by allowing God to live in my body with me.

And a part of this is: 

Hope Springs Eternal if we Die Daily

Dying to God each night allows us to reincarnate as a new fresh baby innocent being every morning.

We are reborn as a new being each morning as we wake up

Not doing this often just brings an early death and nothing else.

This is one of the many beauties of actually being human that we can die to God every night.

So, never forget:

HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL IF WE DIE DAILY

 

Hope Springs Eternal if we Die Daily

When I was young and first heard this statement it made no sense at all to me.

However, as I grew up I began to understand.

The best way I can say it is we do die daily if we die to God each night

Then we wake up a new person each morning.

It's like being a brand new born Baby each morning in the innocense of God

However, it's true you have to give up everything each night when you go to sleep

in order to wake up reborn each morning.

I often accomplish this by saying "God is Here" over and over again while experiencing this.

If I do this right I wake up reborn each morning

However, it is also true that "God IS Everywhere and Every when too" this is a true statement as well.

However, if God is everywhere and every when then God is wherever you or I are too in each and every moment of our lives.

So, Hope literally comes from Dying Daily to God and being reborn in Hope every morning.

It is definitely one of the many keys to longevity.

I died Long Ago but my body still lives

In a Cultural Anthropology course in College a Shaman was described as someone who has psychologically died but their body still lives. I remember thinking: "So that's what I am because I'm not like anyone I know."

I had died of whooping cough and then the angels rescued me. I had died from a concussion and seizures often at night from ages 10 to 15 that was sort of like being murdered each time but God Rescued me.

I find I'm not like most other people because I invited God to live in my body with me starting at age 15. Then girls started falling in love with me but I knew they were falling in love with God who started living in my body with me at age 15. However, soon I realized that this was okay because God was helping all these girls somehow. I came to accept this as a part of having God living within me 24 hours a day.

Then I realized that my body was a Temple of God and eventually I realized that Angels flew through me out into the world to help people and that this was something that happened to some people who dedicated their lives to God and Angels.

Then I realized I was a householder Yogi like Lahiri Mayasaya one of the param teachers of Yogananda in his book: "Autobiography of a Yogi". My best friend from church growing up in Sunday school told me of how his mother visited Yogananda regularly and they were the best of friends. His mother was a very spiritual person and amazing in this like Yogananda was too.

When I met my present wife in 1994 I told her I felt like: "The Ghost who walks with the car that Screams". I was suffering through a difficult divorce and custody battle of my then 5 year old daughter at that time too. I married my present wife in 1995 in Yosemite National park in the Chapel there.

The car that screams just meant to me that the fan belt wasn't tight enough so often it made an incredible Scream sometimes. And it felt like it was screaming because I couldn't because I was a man. But, I found the screams of the car helped me in a carthartic way at that time in my life.

My friend from church by then was a High School Teacher in Los Angeles with a master's degree in psychology. He saw my suffering and told me that I needed to take a certain phrase to heart which was:
 

"THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS ONLY OPPORTUNITIES!"

I TOOK THIS TO HEART AND THIS SAVED MY LIFE ALONG WITH GOD AND THE ANGELS THEN IN 1994 AND 1995 AND AFTERWARDS.

Though we might suffer there is always hope with God and Angels in our lives here on earth. The world isn't perfect. I'm worried presently about the health of my son. However, when I had the hardest ailment to survive which was a heart virus that nearly cost me my life I kept going because I could always count on God and the Angels to guide me.

Every time I thought I was going to die from 1998 until the present I would ask the angels "Am I dying?"

And they would always say to me: "NO. This is only temporary. You will get better soon!"

So, this allowed me not to panic and die like many or most people do when they think they are dying.

What does this mean?

Basically, for me it means I die to God every night when I go to sleep and sometimes one or more times during the day. By Doing this I wake up in the morning refreshed a new person.

By giving all your troubles to God when you go to sleep at night, hope is renewed when you wake up in the morning.

Living this way is very renewing. When you give up all hope and give over to God when you go to sleep it allows God to do a major reset in your consciousness during the night.

IF you cannot let go then you cannot renew and if you cannot renew somehow then soon often you are dead either physically or psychologically or both.

Renewal (like new wild grasses and wildflowers in the spring after a fresh rain) is necessary for life to go on in any human body or mind.
