5-21. Round and round spins fear, dizzyingly fast, hoping its mad gyrations will distract you from seeing that it has no center. Love quietly stands, forever still and calm, waiting for you to return and be Free.
What value do distractions genuinely hold for all of those that desire to recover the Peace that was their original mind, so safely enveloped within the Heart of God? Surely none at all for these rarified souls, for they have progressed beyond all of the encumbrances of the Children of God who remain desirous of distraction, in some vain and futile attempt to relinquish their own power unto an entity that they have created, but that they believe to be distinct from their own definition of their lives as they are carried out in form. Fear cannot hold, for it has no center. It is constantly in motion, always flitting about, constantly distracted from its own impossibilities because it refuses to look within to see that what it considers to be its final formulation - its raison d’etre and its rationale for existence, is based upon nothing at all. That fear is potent is certain, for so many would not be deeply enamored of its wiles if it was not both attractive and deceptive in equal measure. Fear is unresolvable with Love, for Love sees it not. Fear is not equivalent with Love in any way at all, for all that is of fear is but a perception of distinctiveness that has no justification, whereas Love is All That Is, encapsulated into limited forms of understanding when it is applied specifically to certain forms of conditionality but not yet recognized as being universally applicable to everything that transpires. Fear has no such infinity of utility, for fear is but a misperception, born of an error, living a life of meaninglessness and forever supplicant to your ideation of its utility, for if you were to arrest that gyrating phantasm of presumptive necessity, you would see that it orbits nothing at all. It is a shell of a belief, formed from its own initial inequity with itself, sustained by nothing more than your continuing desire to believe that it is fear that can “save” you from anything at all, an error of perception that is understandable and imminent forgivable, but which is a mistake that need no longer be condoned in any way at all. That which is fear is powerful because you believe that it has power over you - not because of anything at all that it is, in Truth. This is so contradictory to the ego that it is not understandable to the mind - it must be lived as a Truth of the heart, a certain reassurance of Salvation from all that is error that may seem amazingly fleeting when it is first encountered, but which will be come ever more certain as you slow the oscillations of the fear sphere that surrounds your generalized consciousness, becoming increasingly more able to look beyond all that fear attempts to posit must be the formulation and effect of reality, so that you can begin to realize that it was but you that fueled all that fear attempted to be for you, breathing into it the life that it required for sustainment and the purpose that you assigned to it, a necessity that was wholly misplaced but understandably given away in the absence of a more compelling model. Love asks for nothing, because Love is already everything, and so Love is at Peace with Itself. Can this be said of fear? Is fear ever content? Does fear ever relinquish its hold over your attention Does fear accept that it is not at all necessary, and that it would be best for it to dissipate into the vagrities of misperception and relentless attraction that a belief in attack engenders within a mind that believes that it is separate from all that it perceives? Certainly it does not and will not, for just as the ego is desirous only of its own continuation, so too is its faithless companion fear. Fear spins in an agony that is of its own making, believing that threat looms at every turn, and thus that vigilant preparation and baleful trepidation are always so very necessary indeed. That physical onslaughts can certainly arise is true. That they should be guarded against is valid as well. That they are capable of destroying what you are, in Truth, is not at all accurate - that is the misperception of fear, all based upon an assumption of a reversal in the layers of Creation that is wholly understandable from the perspective of the body, but which is woefully inverted in a manner that is not correctable from within the perspective that created just such an error of awareness. Fear cannot be combated directly, for there is nothing to strike and no enemy to capture and depose. Fear is an ephemeral leader, asking for your allegiance but offering no benefit for your servitude to its pronouncements of a rigid and inescapable pallor, one that reeks of death and endless hopelessness, for within the center of fear there is but destruction and then the darkness of nothingness itself. Fear will collapse under its own density, crushing itself inwardly as you no longer supply nourishment to its outwardly reaching perceptual framework that so inarguably describes the body as the creator of life and awareness, when it is the exact opposite that is Truth. Because you desired to be of form, your form was assembled for you. Your awareness was necessary for anything of materiality to have any distinctiveness and differentiation from some other aspect of the world of form, for absent an observer, there can be no meaningful measurement or declaration of certainty effected against a set of data or potential interactions that are valueless when they cannot be quantified. Is Love as this? Does Love require acceptance, support, genuflection to its Glory or acknowledgement of its Light to be ever-present and applicable to everything that transpires? Certainly not, for it if did, it would a love based in conditionality, and that is not at all the Love of God. That Love can be an effective intermediary between all that is of God and all that is of form - which is not at all to exclude the world of form from the Mind of God, but rather to specify that the higher, or more expansive, layers of Creation do indeed exist in larger dimensional spaces than the small amount that the world of form requires - is all that is needed to be understood before Love can become your own personal and unbreakable Connection to All That Is, so that the Mind of God can be more readily understood and accepted whilst still some portion of your awareness desires to believe that it is separate from God in a manner that has no justification at all. Fear certainly cannot be as this for you, for fear is absolutely convinced that you are distinct from all else that lives, and so fear will never serve to reunite you with your own True Nature. Divisiveness is the hallmark of all that is excluded, and that is what sustains fear when it cannot possibly stand on its own. Love is quite the opposite of this, if it is fair to say that anything can be contrasted with that which is nothing at all, for Love requires nothing from you, yet it is the conduit between All That Is and the unlimited potentiality that you carry with you, always accessible but so frequently ignored in favor of a desire to be fearful when no such justification exists within All That Is. Your Unity is unbroken. Your heart is unassailable. Your soul is unaffected. Your mind is capable of being in a state of Salvation from error, or of dwelling within the imaginings that serve only that which never was, excluding All That Is because, from the perspective of fear, such a state of Grace is a foolish dream - never a reality that is ever-present and always accessible. As you step farther and farther away from fear, observe as it slows so very gently, no longer spinning at breakneck speed, now becoming ever more languid in its reactivity and ever less efficacious in its utility. Fear offers nothing of value, for it is nothing at all. Love offers All That Is in a manner that is accessible to all of the Children of God, at all times, and without any effort at all. Such an election between nothing and everything is beautifully simple to perceive. To implement it to the point of releasing yourself from conditionality and assuming the mantle of absolutism that is a level of confidence in God and yourself that is rare within the world of form, you need only have Faith that Love can See all that you are, no matter how blinded by fear you have been for so very long indeed.
