A Message from Mortality

Right now you've got one chance, one life, one opportunity. Manifestation has but one occasion to know who you are, experience your fullness and feel your love. You've got one body-mind and one life from which to share and serve.

One shot, that's it.

Now I'm not talking about one life as in a certain number of years before you meet your body-mind's relative eventuality (that's a sophisticated way of saying "you say hello to death"). I'm talking about life as this moment.

This is all you really have, or rather all that has you. If you think you've got years, got more than what's right here right now you're fooling yourself. You're painting a fantasy. The fact is you don't, nor will you ever, fully know where this moment is going to take you. Cancer, a car accident, an allergic reaction, a stroke, a heart attack, terrorism in any of its faces, an asthma attack...

Your body-mind may indeed shine into it's full brilliance beyond your next exhale, but there's no guarantee of this. As your chest rises with this inhale and falls away there's no guarantee aside from what's here right now.

This is perhaps Mortality's core message to you. You get one shot, one chance and this is it. "This" is the present moment, not your fantasy of what you'd like to have in terms of days, weeks, months and or years.

This message from Mortality isn't coming to you from the outside, letting you know that death is going to come for you. While you may be reading this blog, reading these words, check in and see if they resonate with truth from within. They will. Ultimately you'll find the message from within your own body-mind is no different from what is being shared here in these words.

While it often appears at first that death is something that comes to you and happens to you, something more profound is happening. Death is a part of yourself that, chances are, you have yet to own, embrace and guide your life from. Death doesn't happen to you, it is who you are. Thus Mortality's core message actually comes from within. Mortality's message resonates from a deeper sense of self that holds more authenticity, more beauty, more brilliance and ironically more life and vitality.

Regardless of whether or not you want to accept it or not you will come face to face with the crossroads of life and death. You will cross the bridge.

You can pretend as though this bridge resides off in the distant future, something for you to worry about "later." If you do choose this you're stunting your life, building your life around fantasy and avoiding your deepest calling and strength.

If you look closely, you can see that the bridge for you to cross is ever-present. The crossroads to the Unknowns are right here. Mortality stands within you as an invitation to enact and embrace more life, more of what's good, true and beautiful.

Are you going to paint a fantasy attempting to build a wall around your heart? Are you going to internally dismiss death's call for your ultimate freedom and fullness? Are you going to settle down, sit with your anxiety and face death eye to eye? Are you going to open your heart to death's grace? Are you really going to let death settle in and radiate throughout your body-mind as more vibrant life?

Death awaits. You know its message, its power, and its purpose. Deep down you know it. Now is the time to stop running, avoiding and escaping from your own greater freedom and fullness. You are simply too precious, to profoundly beautiful to cut yourself from your truest core. Embrace death now, allow yourself to breath out your last. Expect only your freedom and your fullness in this moment. Leave the rest to grace. This is Morality's chief concern.
