FEAR VS LOVE
I’m so sorry that I haven’t written anything for such a long time. What with illness and moving house, it’s been a pretty full on time. It is good to be back though.
I think in these times of real uncertainty and difficulties both personally and globally we need all the tools we can, not just to survive these times but to thrive in these times. As someone said to me just this morning - the Transformational Process has helped to keep me sane, bringing in the truth makes you see what no longer serves you.
Going through such a stormy time in my personal life recently has certainly made me look at what no longer serves me and then have the courage to leave it behind or say ‘no’.
I know that so many times we feel alone and feel that we are having to face troubles, difficulties and strife alone. We forget that there is help for us, we forget that we are and everything is created out of love. We can sometimes feel so unloved. It can be difficult to accept that everything is created out of love, especially if we listen to the news or follow any sort of social media. People are not expressing much love at the moment, just differences of opinion.
When I meditate or process, in the space where there is just me and my Divine, Spirit Self (Soul), everything in my life seems so small. Our little lives, worries, cares and woes seem so small compared with the vastness of who we truly are - huge beings of love. This earth was created out of love and we are part of the earth, we are made of the same material as earth. As her tides are pulled with the influence of the moon, then so are we as we have so much water also within us.
If all is created out of love, then why is there so much destruction, hate and violence all over the world today? Of course we all have our own theories. I believe what we are seeing and have seen over many years is born out of fear. Fear is the other side of love. Fear is when we do feel alone and don’t feel loved. Fear makes us do things we wouldn’t necessarily do. For instance, fear can make us hit out, fear can make us say things we afterwards regret, fear finds it hard to show love. If we can remember that whoever is ranting on social media is probably doing so from their fear, your words in reply could help them find their truth or at least feel they are listened to and therefore loved in some small way.
If you don’t feel loved I suggest you spend time with your own Divine Self (Soul) and even if you don’t feel you have one, then imagine there is a little pin prick of light in your heart centre. Breathe in the energy of Truth into that little pin prick of light and imagine it getting bigger, brighter, growing. Imagine this light spilling out into the rest of your body, filling it with light. Maybe you would like to ask to be shown the truth, or just feel how your body reacts to being filled with light. You will feel better afterwards, calmer and less unloved. You might also find your problems have somehow been sorted into a different perspective, or you might feel differently about your problems.
We are not alone. We have so much help and assistance if only we remembered to ask for it. If only we were open receive it. I have had to remember throughout these past few months, to remember that I am not alone and I have all the tools I need to get through. I did notice that I got through with so much more grace than I might have in the past. I could also see the funny side of things (sometimes) and I certainly could laugh at myself and my situation. Being able to laugh at problems does seem to lighten the load, make the problem seem smaller and give us a different perspective. For instance, Steve (my partner) and I decided that the move was not going the way we wanted it to. Christmas was fast approaching and we had an empty house filled with builder necessaries, so we decided to spend our holiday money on going to a hotel for Christmas. We were very ‘lucky’ to find one with a room to spare (I felt a bit like Mary trying to find an inn). At last we got away from the chaos to a lovely hotel on Christmas Eve. That night I went to bed and stayed there being ill for the rest of Christmas. I did manage to drive back to the chaos again and go into the only room we had which happened to have a bed in it, and stayed there until the New Year. At first I felt upset that I had wasted so much money and couldn’t enjoy the indulgence. After a meditation where I felt how alive I was and how beautiful my Soul Self was, I realised that I would not have enjoyed spending Christmas in a building site, I would not have been so well looked after or eaten so well and I felt grateful that I had been in the right place at the right time.
You are not alone. Ask for help if you need it. Remember you are love and loved.
Love Patricia
