Surrender to being. Your true nature is pure energy and that energy is infinite love. You can not die. Your energy can only be transformed and transmuted. You are the wave having a particle experience. You do not know where and when you will pop up next.

Observe yourself as the One who observes All. The observing One, the one being observed, the observation, are all ONE!
