All fear brings a message of love

The mind cannot explain what its like to be emptiness, infinite joy or pure freedom. Rather than grapple with what it cannot understand, it orients you to focus on the future, to nurture fear of the unknown. It conditions you to interpret and judge as it does.

Notice what happens from the moment you grow aware all fear you feel silently invites you to see through it. A spontaneous shift of attention brings you to the present moment. The message of unconditional love and acceptance is unmistakable.

When you acknowledge that you do not know who or what you are, that is, when you cease to be concerned with the things the ego tells you to get worked up about, something divine takes over. Reasons for worry fall away. There is no thought of controlling anything and no fear of not doing so. Awareness flows freely. It knows any effort you make to obtain or be something implies you believe it is beyond you.  Notice your life reflects and reinforces how much fear is controlling or love is guiding you. 

"The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love and let it come in."
-Morie Schwartz (from The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom)

We create tension for ourselves because we are unwilling to think, to take the time to reflect upon the situation or to see the situation for what it is and move on with appreciation. As a nation, we are not great thinkers. We certainly have a lot of intelligent people, but we are not great thinkers. We rush through life. We have numerous routines that keep us from thinking and we have countless machines that think for us. Studies show that nearly 90% of our lives is spent in routine. Being mindful is the goal. Being in the moment leads to awareness and awareness leads to enlightenment.

Elaine, human beings are conditioned to want to feel better but to avoid recognizing the cause for discomfort is their own misperception. How often do you hear someone say, 'I am causing my own suffering and I recognize and can let go of my beliefs and misunderstandings." To accept everything you believe is a misperception is to allow how you see to shift. Reality is the way things are without altered consciousness. You cannot miss it unless you have selective awareness. All that is reveals itself. Each person chooses how and what to see.
