Neale Donald Walsch — Enjoying Life at a Higher Level

At the moment of your death,

you will not see yourself as letting go of life,

but simply enjoying it at a higher level.

When at last you see that there is no separation in God’s World—

that is, nothing which is not God—

then, at last, will you let go of this invention of man

which you have called Satan.

If Satan exists,

he exists as every thought you ever had of separation from Me.

You cannot be separate from Me,

for I Am All That Is.

Men invented the devil to scare people into doing what they wanted

, under the threat of separation from God if they did not.

Condemnation, being hurled into the everlasting fires of hell,

was the ultimate scare tactic.

Yet now you need be afraid no more.

For nothing can, or ever will, separate you from Me.

You and I are One.

We cannot be anything else if I Am What I Am:

All That Is.

Why then would I condemn Myself?

And how would I do it?

How could I separate Myself from Myself

when My Self is All There Is,

and there is nothing else?

My purpose is to evolve, not to condemn;

to grow, not to die;

to experience, not to fail to experience.

My purpose is to Be, not to cease to Be. I

have no way to separate Myself from you—or anything else.

“Hell” is simply not knowing this.

“Salvation” is knowing and understanding it completely.

You are now saved.

You needn’t worry

about what’s going to happen to you “after death” anymore.
