KS&L 383 YOLO or YLF? by Tina Erwin


       I was in aerobics class the other day and I heard someone talk about YOLO. Her clueless companion had no idea what that was, so the lady explained that YOLO means that You Only Live Once. The lady was very proud of her knowledge of this new acronym. Obviously, YOLO is now becoming part of the fabric of conversation  - as if it were true.
       But it isn’t true. You don’t only live once.
       You live forever.
       This is precisely what Christ meant when he talked about ‘life’ ever after – and that ‘life’ isn’t simply in the Heaven World.
       Just for fun, imagine that you do actually live forever. Now you are going to approach every situation with an entirely different view. You know for sure that the energy of whatever you do in this life is going to be returned to you not only in this life, but also in the succeeding lives.
       This concept causes you to view of life very differently because you will understand how karma works:
       * what you do comes back to you, and
       * you will have an experience until you learn the lesson and you no longer need the experience anymore – no matter how long or how many lives it takes.
       So, now armed with this revelation, think how you might live your life differently.
       • If you know you have to return again to this life, you will know that you have to work out that terrible relationship with your mother-in-law.
       • Living again with an abusive husband or wife, may make you want to rethink just enduring it ‘for now’ or ‘for the children’s sake’.
       •  Your life of crime may cause you to wonder how that karma will be returned to you in the next life.
       • Taking advantage of someone will mean that someone in some future life is absolutely going to take advantage of you.
       • The thoughtless way you treated that animal will be returned to you by how some animal attacks you in a future life.
       • Cruelty to your children may be returned to you as you become your child’s child in some future incarnation.
       • The love and care you give to the earth will be returned to you with greater knowledge and insight.
       • The energy of studying, of education and the knowledge that you are learning and sharing will open you up to far greater wealth of mental and spiritual insight in coming lives.
       • Charity, giving and sharing will have to be returned to you in some future opportunity. Do you really think lottery winners just ‘got lucky?’  No, these people have the past life karma to win that money in this life and perhaps in lives to come.
       • Self-sacrifice will make a huge difference in dire situations. The energy of success will be returned to you because you cared so much about others.
       • Caring for a greatly disadvantaged child? Think of how hard you are working to care for him or her. The energy of this love and care, this experience will be returned to you in some way in a different life. Perhaps you are enabling that soul to have a more complete future life as a mentally whole person.
       • Psychic ability used with a sincere heart, in accordance with spiritual law will enable you to have greater spiritual ability in coming lives.
       • Psychic ability used to tell fortunes, read cards and manipulate people will draw to the soul a very challenging future life or perhaps multiple lives.
       • Greedy dictators, drug lords, and corporate heads who abuse people, resources of the earth and power will find an exceptionally challenging future ahead of them.
       Every single life is an opportunity to do a better job at your job of learning as a soul on a path to enlightenment. Do not forget the prime objective: enlightenment. That’s hard in the day to day of bills, crazy bosses and co-workers, stressed spouses and kids and governments that have lost their way. Yet the mission requirement to work toward spiritual growth, never fades, never becomes less.
        Denying the reality of future lives, of karma created in past lives is like denying or questioning whether the sun will rise tomorrow. As we each lay down to sleep, we know that the sun will rise and we will get up. We live a new life every single day. Even if we die in the night, we will wake up in a new dimension, ready to face the next step in our spiritual evolution especially if we have the presence of mind to ask for an angel to help us with the transition to the Heaven World.
       Microcosm/Macrocosm: every yesterday is the microcosm and every past life is the macrocosm. The opportunity of every single new day is the microcosm and the opportunity of every single future life is the macrocosm of how the cosmic plan and karma work. YLF:  You Live Forever!
