The 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 RedfieldReligions become corrupted when leaders are assigned to explain God's will to people instead of showing them how to find this direction within themselves.
James RedfieldWhen we dislike someone, or feel threatened by someone, the natural tendency is to focus on something we dislike about the person, something that irritates us. Unfortunately, when we do this--instead of seeing the deeper beauty of the person and giving them energy--we take energy away and actually do them harm. All they know is that they suddenly feel less beautiful and less confident, and it is because we sapped their energy.
James RedfieldOur experience of love is more of a measure of whether we're connected with the universal source of this energy. In other words, there's some life energy that we have and sort of share with people we might be relating to that takes place, that operates whether we're sort of feeling in a state of love or not. But love is the measure of whether we're really connected with the internal source of this energy where we can consciously sort of fill up and amplify the amount of energy that we're able to take in from the inside.
