But a person is smart, and I believe the coming shift in consciousness is how we as a people can become more aware of God or the Universe's influence on our lives, or better yet, how we are all connected.
I meditated on fear yesterday, and I believe I just had the first subconscious change in me just a few minutes ago. I was upstairs and the recent-worries that have been plaguing my mind, like, my case, money, debts, relationships... and then my mind went, what are you scared of?
I believe this is a very faith-based response to the fear we can experience any day in any form. It's only a step, but it's a step in the right direction.
How do you handle fear, big and small, in your daily lives? What was your moment like when you had the epiphany and acceptance and belief to let go of fear entirely, if only bit by bit. Letting go of negative thoughts only leaves room for positivity, which gives you more energy and attracts better things into your lives.
Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful.
These are the types of things we forget about, and I am guilty of thinking everyone here has experienced this.
I know how wonderful it feels, Gribbons. We can share this.
It is the archetypal Fool that steps out into the unknown. When we trust ourselves and the creator within us, we step out with only one intention, and that is 'to know'. Like you said, we don't know, so what are we afraid of? Our own imagination? We walk in order to discover. Our discovery becomes the creator knowing itself. This is our purpose. This is our life. "a lamp unto my feet". "although I walk thru the valley of the shadow...". "you are the light of the world". We are the revelation. We produce the fruit. Harvest, by definition, is gathering up the fruit.
"There is nothing else which is of aid in demonstrating the original thought except your very being, and the distortions that come from the unexplained, inarticulate, or mystery-clad being are many. Thus, to attempt to discern and weave your way through as many group mind/body/spirit distortions as possible among your peoples in the course of your teaching is a very good effort to make. We can speak no more valiantly of your desire to serve."
