After we have an experience to an opening through God’s love in our human experience it is natural to contract into a protective way of being. In our individual private world we bring figures from our past, and it is because of this that our worlds of past/present/future differ. Our minds create these illusions and make up a private world that we make a choice of not sharing. Yet the figures that we have created and choose to see were never real, for they are made up only of our reactions to our past, and do not include others’ reactions to us. We get scared and make up stores that we are vulnerable and are going to be hurt… so we contract.
The ego likes to disconnect from love and put its faith in our past experiences and the historic patterns that we keep to feel safe and separated from each other and from receiving/getting love. Projection makes perception, and we cannot see beyond what we create. Again and again we blame and attack others and the outside world, because we saw a shadow figure from our past and private world. It’s in this contraction where we have given into a belief that we need to be afraid of love and the power to extend love to each other… so we then live in darkness and isolation and fear. And so we separate into our own private worlds, where everything is disordered, and where what is within appears to be without. This delusional pattern can be very destructive, for we do not recognize we are condemning ourselves to the prisons of our own minds.
Love cannot live in a world apart, for when it shows up it is not recognized. If you blame others and don’t see it as your own fear, you miss out in seeing others and are not living into your own true self nature. Everyone wants to keep close what we love, and recoil from what we fear and react with fear to love, and push love away from us. Yet fear attracts us, and believing it is love, we take comfort in it. Our private worlds are filled with figures of past fear that we keep close to our awareness so we don’t ever get hurt like that again and then we miss all the love others offer us. Is this (This is) the world in which we have withdrawn into our own insanity?!
We are given this experience in these bodies to learn how to deny our own insanity, and come forth from our private world in peace. To look at all the love that we deny giving to each other because we are denying giving it to ourselves. We need to continue to draw others out from their private fearful world because we are connected to each other and we desire to be united, sharing our peace and joy. This is the way out of the illusion of our safety and insanity.
Let’s continue to look beyond the ongoing insanity that we create, keeping us in our illusion of safety, by offering love to all those around us willingly and freely!
