He encourages us that to really live a full life, a part of us must die. We must let go of the past negativity; and find the positive in our new experiences. Only then can we truly begin to live. According to the author, to live is to love, really love. Love is hope crystallized into the dreams of tomorrows to come. There are moments of oneness between the greater power, the Great Spirit, and the oneness of the conscious energy of the universe. God by whatever name you choose lets us know when we are on the right path to reach our desired destination while we live.
