Love is not an intellectual concept or a moral imperative or anything else. It is the background emotion that exists when one is connected to the energy available in the universe, which of course, is the energy of God.

James RedfieldThe reality of the Life Review is becoming part of our every day understanding. We know that after death, we have to look at our lives again; and weโre going to agonize over every missed opportunity, over every case in which we failed to act. This knowledge is contributing to our determination to pursue every intuitive image that comes to mind, and keep it firmly in awareness. Weโre living life in a more deliberate way. We donโt want to miss a single important event. We donโt want the pain of looking back later and realizing that we blew it, that we failed to make the right decisions.

James RedfieldThe thought of both East and West (philosophies) can indeed be integrated into a higher truth. They show us that the West is correct in maintaining that life is about progress about evolving toward something higher. Yet the East is also correct in emphasizing that we must let go of control with the ego. We can't progress by using logic alone. We have to attain a fuller consciousness, an inner connection with God, because only then can our evolution toward something better be guided by a higher part of ourselves.
