I want to let people know that when they die, they need to ask God for help when lifting from their bodies.  It’s a funny thing because when you see it on TV or read about it in a book, it seems like it’s quick.  But in truth, it happens a little at a time. 

At first you’re not sure if you’re alive or dead because you can’t quite wake up.  Next comes the humming as you start lifting off the bed (or whatever you’re on), but you don’t know that’s what’s happening until you feel that floating feeling.  The part where you need God’s help (I found out) is in leaving your body behind.  It’s a feeling that is not easy, because a large part of who you think you are is attached to that body.  But it’s not anymore.  You’re still you, only now you’re without anything heavy to wear.

So if you come out of your body in a wave of fear or doubt - like you might if you die from disease or in an operating room - ask God to lift you up.  As you feel the upward movement, you will notice there is much, much more in front of you than what’s left of you behind.

Overcome with gladness at being able to help,
Carl

What you say to yourself in the mirror is exactly what you become.  If you say, “I’m fat,” then that’s more and more of what you become.  If you say to yourself, “I’m a loser,” then that’s the path your life goes down.  Please believe me.  This is the unfortunate truth.

TRY THIS:  Say to yourself in the mirror that you are not fat, you are not stupid, and you are not a loser.  After you say what you are not, tell yourself what you are.  You are beautiful, you are healthy, and you are going into a life that feels like more and more love! 

This is important because the truth is, you’re the one who has been undermining yourself for too long. 

Sending love your way,
Marie

A tavern seems like a pretty pathetic place to die, but actually it was almost like a second home to me so when I collapsed and had a heart attack there, at least I wasn’t alone.  I was surrounded by a handful friends I considered family.

It’s hard to know where to begin when you’re given the opportunity to give advice about life, but I guess I’ll narrow it down to live for today.  It’s important because the truth is, you never know if you’re going to make it to the next day.  So if you have the sense to make today great, you’ll never regret your life. 

That’s what I have to say, so thank you.
