Love and
Fear
Today,
more and more, we are hearing the words, “It is not personal”. For those of us emerging
into the conscious awareness of the reality that has always lain beneath and
beyond the human perceptual disorder of Separation, these four small words have
the power to illuminate every aspect of our understanding and
conceptualization. Over the past week or
so, I have been led to re-examine my understandings of Love and Fear through
the illumination that those words provide: It is not personal. I have also felt
a sense of the importance and timely preparedness that this illumination can
provide.
In
Christian Scripture, there is mention of The Spirit of Fear and The Spirit of
Love. In this metaphor (and everything is a metaphor) two energies flow. And
like energy is bound to do, it flows into where there is space for it. They are
not personal. You do not create them, nor are they products of your efforts. Both
Love and Fear are autonomous energies.
Historically,
within the space each of us has been given to hold, Fear and Love have seemed
to each find some measure of expression. This has been the Tao of our existence.
This has been a hallmark of the human epoch; there has been the heart of doubt
and the heart of faith in an uneasy alliance. As St. Paul said, “We see as but
through a glass darkly”. Such was the human condition. But darkness and light
are by their natures an impossible pairing. One is simply the absence of the
other. Of course there is a gradient quality at twilight and dawn. Today we stand
at the moment of the Dawn. In the days to come, what was gradient will become
radiant.
Many
people are sensing that our planet is on the cusp of a momentous shift. This is
the dawn that I spoke of. The grip of Fear and its by-product of fractionalization
will give way to the inhabitation of Love and its informing nature of
Oneness. However, for that change to
fully take effect, the Spirit of Fear must find no more branch upon which to
nest. Literally, it must find no more home upon this planet. And how might this
happen? These two energies are even now beginning to flare like sunspots or smoldering
fires which burst into flame. In the days to come they will simply pulse with
an ever accelerating energy. As they move like cosmic winds upon the face of
this planet, they will fill, with a heretofore unknown intensity those spaces
which are receptive to them. Fear will fill the spaces available to Fear and
Love those places open to Love. There will be possible neither resistance nor
the adaptive accommodation to which we have been accustomed. Such will be the
force of Fear that it will fill to breaking every place it finds. The human
heart will simply not be big or strong enough to contain it. Courage of the
sort informed by conceptualization and idealized understandings will fail.
Eventually, Fear will simply burn itself out as it consumes every resting
place. It is not personal. It does not know your name. It does not judge you
according to your actions or intents. It will simply fill to breaking every space
available to it. Likewise the Spirit of Love will fill those places which have
been made ready. It too, will burst and burn all that it enters. The shell of
our ignorance will be consumed, likewise our confusion. In the Fire of Love all
that is not Love shall be melted away to reveal the quintessential base metal
of our eternal nature. It too, is not personal. It will not stand at a distance
and weigh your worth, actions or the achievements of your understandings. It
will simply flow to those spaces which have been prepared to receive it.
I
would like to take a moment to address an issue that lingers for many: the idea
that some will be consumed by Fear and that some will be revealed by Love. To
some, this smacks of the Judgement Day scenarios that drove us to recoil from
our parent’s religion. To some, this simply seems unfair. But I tell you that
this too is impersonal. This process is not about the individual, nor their
“salvation” or survival. It is a process for the planet. Every soul is here to
play a part in that story, in that awakening, and in that Dawn. We are not
being judged or culled. We are not separate things with different worth. We are but One thing, both component and
complete, and inseparable. The narrative
unfolding is a narrative specific to place, this Planet and its Consciousness.
Each soul is a volunteer in that creation and fulfillment thereof. Each soul
that passes beyond this narrative, rooted in time and place, resumes the
fullest glory of its nature in timelessness. Suffering, and surely some will
suffer, is a momentary function arising in time and space only. Whatever it may
appear in that context, it will not remain outside of it. Judgement is the tool
of the Ego which seeks to differentiate itself through being more or less
worthy versus another. What is to come is the end of that which resonated in
the Egoic Age, not a vindication of its most ignorant assumptions. Every soul
is a hero in the times to come. Each of us will play only the part we have been
given. All is in Grace.
I
sense, that even now, this time I am speaking of is very near at hand. Today,
many are in an accelerated moment of preparation. For those of us holding the
space for Love, many are, even now, being shown any corner where Fear might
find a home. Even the smallest of attachments, the most benign of egoic
understanding can be a fissure which the pressure of an accelerated Fear can
crack. Further, I am being shown that the space for the Spirit of Love has no
room for my ideas of Love. In the main, these were nought but my ideations and
comforts in response to Fear. I do not need to exercise Love-it is strong. I do
not need to understand Love-it is beyond my conceptualization. It requires
nothing of me beyond the space I hold and the Grace I have been given to see
where “I” has thought to possess it. The Love that will shine when Fear has
burnt itself out is also not personal. It is identity rather than a comfort or comparative
merit. It does not exist in nor emanate from the fractured egoic identity. Do
you know Love? Or do you know what the egoic self has imagined love to be. One
is ideation. The other is the Spirit which fills. Today, I am being challenged
to abandon all thought. It arose out of my ignorance. I need but let a thing
be, it is Self-informing. Today, I allow the lesson of Light to show me those
places where Fear might find a home. And in the process of observing I become
the Observer and no Fear can resist its gaze.

PS:
I would encourage each one for whom this message resonates to be resolute in
shifting your attention to the present. The only future you need now concern
yourself with is the one that reveals itself to you now. This is the time of
paying close attention to what is being revealed to you in a process of preparation.
The past and present are but dreams. To be awake is not to dream, but rather to
be fully present in this day and the lesson you are being shown. May the Grace
of God and the fullness of the Holy Spirit be upon you.
