Fears Contraction…
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 Is this (This is) the world in which we have withdrawn into our own insanity?!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!
One of the first things we need to understand about form and content is that they are both part of dualistic thinking of the human brain and do not exist in the oneness of spirit/love/god mindedness. While we are born into our small self, we appear to have a separate mind from everyone else and it is validated through the myriad of different ways in which the body sees itself as separate from each other. Even the westernized culture we live in which is full of competition, industrialization and capitalism supports the separation viewpoint.
It is within the dualistic mindset where we have a choice between two possible “contents” or thoughts: the thought of separation, or our surrender into the memory of oneness/sameness. Our brain then has only one activity: the power to choose between these two thoughts. Once the mind chooses one of these two thoughts, the thought takes form. The form may be a specific behavior, a “thought”, or a judgment that expresses the original thought. All thinking produces a form at one level or another. When the choice of content is for oneness/peace/joy/happiness it represents the reminder of love in the mind… our surrender into love, whatever is done or not done in form will be a reflection of that love. The content through love’s expression is communicated in some form because it has been chosen by our mind.
Your heart is the most important aspect of your being…that may sound controversial…in this world of doing…of personal “
Love is one of life’s greatest mysteries and to try to define love’s meaning is said to be far beyond our comprehension and some even say that love isn’t able to be taught. Within the human condition where duality reigns, the opposite of love is fear. Love is joy, peace, acceptance and connection… while fear is projection, judgment, attack and separation. People think they need to seek to find love when love has created us and is inside of us already because we are made from the unconditional love of the universe/god.
From the inside and the spiritual sense we are already complete and we don’t need anything to make us more whole. When we think we are lacking of anything, it is typically from a source of fear which has come from the past and projects us into the future… a place where past and future do not exist (yet or anymore). There is no fear in the present because only love lives in the present. In every instant we get to choose connection or separation, to extend love’s gratitude and affection or contract into fear’s separation and isolation. We can detach ourselves from stories of unworthiness and any lack from our past without its shadow reaching and dictating us into the future. A place where no darkness is remembered and joy and love are now… where we are at peace and whole.
