The Cancer that is eating America - FEAR
I am amazed to see how prevalent fear is these days. It is consuming us into giving up civil rights, turning away from our neighbors, building walls around our lives, and trusting our (ahem) government to keep us safe.
Just the other day I had two Jehovah witnesses come to my door talking about the Bird Flu Epidemic, I think they were trying to relate it to biblical prophecy, but I didn't let them get that far. Sorry, I don't play in the fear playground. I told them there is nothing to fear, they reminded me of the 1918 pandemic of the influenza outbreak that killed tons of people. I reminded them that there was no such thing as penicillin back in those days, or media for that matter. They got out their bible... Big mistake with me. I told them they are looking at yet another thing written to create fear, so that followers will be created. They said it was Gods word, I said no it is mans word. The bible was soon put away.
Fear is an amazing thing. The moment you are afraid you want to change your behavior (now for some, this is a good thing....Smile). I am afraid of going to hell so I will only say words that other people like (if I think about it in the moment anywayz). The word hell is offensive to a lot of people. Why? Because it creates a fear within them. We repel what we fear. Don't say that word, it is bad. No, its a word, how you take it makes it good or bad. Take the word damn. What exactly is damning. Is it a sentence to hell? Well if that is the case, there is nothing to fear in that word either... There is no real hell, only the ones the men wrote about in the story book called the bible. And that book creates fear of the one thing that is truly loving... Unconditionally loving to say the least... God.
If something is supposed to be unconditionally loving, how on earth could you fear it? Because that is what we have been taught to do for centuries... Fear the one thing that loves us totally, completely and without conditions.
Compile that fear with the fear the government is now sending out. Fear of terrorists, fear of bird flu, fear of your neighbor, son, daughter, whomever being the "bad guy". Now not only do we have to watch our language we have to watch our neighbors, lest they get us and damn us to a hell only the terrorists can do.
So we live in fear and are so willing to give up whatever it takes so that we feel safe. But do we feel safe now? Hell no, because the more fear that manifests the more we fear. Well big brother was supposed to take care of us (yeah right) but Katrina came along and exposed that lie.
So in dismantling fear, what do we do. We strip ourselves of our old and out moded belief systems. We learn to discern what is true and what is not. We learn to be who we were meant to be on a spiritual/human level. You take your overloaded trunk of imposed fears and beliefs others imposed on you, and you kept as your own, and get rid of it! When you empty this weighted down trunk, you start to hear the truth that exist all around you. The real truth of any situation or person. The "feeling" part of you becomes alive again. You start to feel in ways most have never done before. And I am not simply talking about touch feelings, but deep down core of your heart feelings. This is where all truth exists... In your heart.
Fear creates illness, both mental and physical. Fear eats away at the very thing we are, spiritual beings based in love and compassion. Fear creates aggressiveness, anxieties, and a list to long to mention here.
Fear has grown way out of its place on this earth. Fear was meant to protect you. To help you discern when to safely cross the street or not cross the street. To get out of the way of real harms way. Fear has literally gotten out of control and only we, as a human race, can put it back in its proper place. How do we do that? You will come to find I am a huge advocate of meditation. Communing with your higher self and the loving spiritual world that is there to guide you and help you to discern the truth. But I know that is only one way, there are others I am sure. Perhaps you have an idea of what else you can do to loose the obsessive fears that plague not only America but the world. Perhaps you can share them here.
We can heal the cancer that is eating America, but we must do it together. The more people that release their unneeded fears, the more people will feel the truth of any situtation, even if they didn't actively release their fears yet. Together we create and uncreat, lets clean up this place together!!
With love, honor and grace.
