Here's the real reason a "coward dies a thousand deaths." By law, any fear we refuse to face always returns... until we finally learn its essential lesson: resistance ensures repetition, so that whatever we try to go around will come back around again.

This is the law: There can not be two firsts in your life, otherwise the first of today becomes the last of tomorrow and, ultimately, what is lost is your chance to develop into a whole, spiritually conscious and sane human being.

It is an eternal law: everything is always being changed, ceaselessly transformed into something else; but within us dwells the light of a Divine intelligence that is the unchanging center of all there is, or that ever will be.

Life will empty whatever you fill -- and whatever you empty, Life will fill. That's the code -- the hidden higher understanding required for spiritual wholeness; in this eternal Law is hidden the timeless splendor of the soul, all wrapped in mystery and filled with bittersweet contradiction.

It's an eternal law: everything is always becoming something else; real life is ceaseless transformation expressed through infinite forms. But within us lives the sleeping seed of a celestial Self that alone can see -- in spite of all evidence to the contrary -- nothing really changes.
