4-31. Your ego asks you to fear. God asks you to Love. Your free will allow you to choose. When you allow your mind to become still, you will know what your heart would like you to do.
Fear appears to be far more readily understandable, within the world of form, than the processes of focus, which are often derided as unobtainable by the masses and inapplicable to the individual who desires to remain possessed by trepidation and consternation when the briefest of pauses of the ceaseless litany of illusions that fear engenders in any mind is taken, allowing for even the most redundantly liminal inquiry to be proposed - namely, to invest in the investigation of whether that which is feared is actually justifiable at all. Fear is a strange bedfellow, demanding all and offering sullen comfort in return, for fear requests your undivided attention but it does nothing at all to suffice the quamering and quavering that it induces in the untrained mind. Fear is not the opposite of anything at all, for all that is of fear is equally of a darkness inspired by a simple error of misperception - not a representative framework that can be trusted to be reflective of anything at all that is genuine or Real. Because Unity is the first principle of operation of Creation, as it is played out within all that is of form, there can be nothing at all that is genuinely deserving of fear, for all that is of Love is United with All That Is. What this actually is intended to convey to your awakening mind will have many different expressions and a multitude of possible imports, all of which are often deeply personal and not readily understandable to another Child of God, for what it is to be Unified with your own heart is a process that strikes exclusively inward. Having no directly outward similarity to what another Child of God might experience as their own personal journey back to Truth, it is often difficult to find points of resonance with another, whether through reflection upon what has fallen behind or anticipation of what may yet come to pass. That is not at all to be presumed to be a justification to state that no progress has occurred, for you are not charged with the nearly impossible task of evaluating the progression of another, nor are you expected to be able to succinctly describe - even to yourself - how far you have come or what might still remain to be uncovered. All of that is but another shadowy aspect of fear, for within all forms of judgment, there remains a central proposition that has no justification - namely, that you are possessed of the ability to stand in complete abeyance of all possible forms of influence, in a state of absolute objectivity and total disregard for the ramifications of your own inquiry, and that is a state of dissociation from material reality that few have ever occupied. Instead of seeking to know what remains to be “done” or “learned”, attempt instead to understand that there is nothing at all that transpires when you journey back through the perfect gateway of your heart. Nothing is lost, for all that is of the illusions of the ego does not exist at all, and nothing is gained, for never were you without the Grace of God and the Light of Truth that is all that is ever required to be Remembered so that all that is not of Love can be set aside as the playthings of the ego, no longer needed or venerated in any way, for all that is of Unity has regained its centrality in your focused awareness, and so all that is not of Truth is seen as just what it has always been - nothing at all. Fear does not wish this for you, for your allegiance to fear is absolutely vital for its continuation and vitality as an entity that appears to be separate from you, some monstrous affliction that strides behind you, ever pursing, its lopping steps thudding alongside you no matter where you might journey, a faithless companion that you cannot divest yourself from, for you have created the situations necessary for its existence and only you can choose otherwise, relinquishing all that is seen as valuable in fear, so that it dissolves not into nothingness but rather back into the existencelessness that is its nature. Choice is innately applicable to almost all that transpires within the world of form, for there is little here that is outside of your influence. The construction of Creation is not for you to alter, nor would you ever wish to do so, if you were of a clear and focused mind and you were able to recognize that Creation is Perfect, and cannot be otherwise, for God does not Create anything at all that is not a perfect reflection of the Nature of Love. But because choice is yours to elect, so can you choose incorrectly, which is merely to say that you have the ability to decide that you wish to remain locked in fear, no matter upon which of the multifold levels of your awareness it arises, rather than seeking it out and then undoing all of its influences with the infinite power of your consciously applied awareness. Because there is nothing to actually be undone or corrected, all that you are asked to do is to recognize that fear has never offered anything at all that you genuinely wished to be given, and so you can stop refuting fear in any form - no longer countering it, but rather simply altering your perspective to one that no longer regards fear as real, and so equally is no longer possessed of the desire to continue to interact with fear in any way at all. But what is left, when fear is forgotten? Love remains, abiding all journeys, persisting through all paths, and providing a consistency that requires no application of sustainment or encouragement at all. Love is All because God is Love, and so all that is Created contains the certainty of Love, as it is Given by God to all that is of God, eternally and completely. This is not some artifact of toxic and saccharine positivity to be used to regale your compatriots with - some cooing of blind leadership and meaningless platitudes. This Truth is to be Experienced, not used as a point of commonality with another or some mannerism to be employed as a form of exclusivity - a language of distinction, wherein the Children of Light look down upon the sleeping masses and judge them inferior, for those who have genuinely Awakened to Unity have no desires left at all, save perhaps for the intentionality that accompanies a genuine Experience of God, and one that entails seeking out methods of assisting all who sleep to awaken, absent any form of force and with absolute gentleness applied to all, equally and completely. That they have use of you is certain. That they need you is not at all an appropriate classification to apply to any who sleep, for their journeys are their own and they cannot be goaded along at some pace that they are not willing to sustain. Yet there is great benefit to being Awake in a sleeping world of form, for there is a genuineness and a certainty that cannot be denied by even the most jaded and hardened cynics. They may not understand what it is that you are shining, for their own Light seems dead indeed to their forcefully shuttered eyes, but still there will be a consistent and inescapable resonance with the most silent tendrils of their own constitution, one that will slowly pluck the strings of their hearts and set them to vibrating in tune with Love, even if the melody that they experience seems utterly foreign indeed. God is not found in petulant consternation or a clamoring fracass of fear, for God does not scream in the darkness of your own dissolution and desperate desire for destruction. God does not seek to influence you at all, for there is no value in attempting to encourage anyone to take up any task that they are not yet ready to engage themselves within. The voluntariness of awakening to Love is inviolate, for your free will will not be abridged by God, nor can it be countered by any other Child of God. To cavort about with incredulity regarding the Nature of Love is but to attempt to posit that your ego, itself a creation of nothing that contains no unified structure whatsoever, must be possessed of a certainty that only your heart has ever retained. It is not in turmoil or conflict that you will be readily able to listen to what it is that your heart implores you to Remember. In stillness and Light does the necessary Faith to release all attachments to fear become infinitely more apparent, for it is within the Peace of God that all that is Real can be found to be abiding all error, unconcerned with all that is deeply attractive in the illusions of the ego, for there is nothing to fear of fear save for its attempts to subvert your own will to its ministrations and machinations, all of which serve only to feed that which is endlessly ravenous and wholly insatiable. In silence, all is apparent. Discipline and determination will assist you with remaining inviolate when fear attempts to destroy all of your innate equanimity. Choice is the fulcrum upon which these balances of deterministic election rest. Love is equally weightless and mightier than any illusion. How the scales tip is for you alone to elect. What it is that you choose between is either more time spent in contemplation of an illusion, or the greatest relief from unnecessary and useless suffering that any Child of God could ever experience. No loss is involved in the Creation of God. All dreams of loss are self-created. As such, you alone are tasked with undoing all that they appeared to represent. But you are not genuinely alone in this endeavour - all of the other Children of God will join you, one day, just as some have already come before you in the flow of time as it is understood within the material world, lighting the way with their infinite certainty. Trust in their examples, until you are ready to experience your own innate peacefulness. Nothing can restrict God and nothing can stand between you and your reunification with your True Nature. Choose, and all that is necessary will be revealed, just when you are ready for your next step forward unto Love, forevermore.
