Life that animates the body

'Your reality is the life that animates the body, and to be that life you must keep looking inside to see what is animating your body. That does not mean what’s making it possible for you to be depressed or for you to be happy or excited – those conditions certainly accompany the animation of the body and its whole system – but that’s not life, that’s part of living. To be that life you must keep looking inside to see what is animating your body... the pause, the pause, the pause of now, not the continuity of a force of anger just going on with continuity, but the pause in the continuity that says, "Why am I angry?"'

'Life is what you are. Life, in the first instance, is your love, and it animates your body. So therefore it’s very close to you. It cannot be separated from any single action, because every life alone allows, allows every action but life is not intelligent in its own right... Life is the electricity of your body. It allows the crow to be instinctively like the crow, what the crow is, and the rabbit to be instinctively what the rabbit is, and the fox to be instinctively what the fox is...'

'So you see, I am intelligent in a reflective way – but the question is, what do I reflect on in that body most of the time? If I reflect on the tangled web that I have woven around life and truth in this body... then I’m going to get more of a tangled web.'

'Life is magnificent, and it is intelligently informed by something called in a greater intelligence behind it...'

'Life is not a substance. It’s not something you can put on a blackboard or something – it’s not something you can weigh, like the scientists like to weigh and measure. Can’t do that. It just has a certain effect, and you are no longer afraid of death, because you have realized life inside your body.'

'It is completely robotic in the sense that the something, something else, rather than the body, is keeping the body alive, and the name of that is life.'

'It is life that allows my body to speak. It is life that allows me to move my arm. Comes. It is life that allows me to smile. That’s life inside this body. And as soon as life withdraws, it will collapse on the floor, like all bodies have to do.'

'Some power keeps your body moving around. Some power keeps your heart beating. Some power. And we don’t have to go out into the cosmos to find the explanation, because it’s always there in front of us, immediately here, now. This power is in me, and its name is life.'

'The mystery of death is life, and nobody yet has ever defined life except to say, I am life. I am the joy of life. I am the gratitude to life. I am the wonder of life.'

'You are the only truth on Earth, in that body listening to these words, you and you alone are the only one. It goes back right to you. You are the cause. You are the beginning and you are the end.'
