There are two distinctly different foundations for the way that we perceive the world. One is based on separation, fear and control. The other is based on connectivity, love and surrender. When we strip the surface appearances down to the root level, these two different choices invariably come into view. In the seemingly complex world the ultimate question is extremely simple. Love or fear?
When you look at the what the media is offering to you I suggest you ask this simple question. Is this information increasing fear or love? Is it about trying to feel safe in a dangerous world by creating distance or is it pointing out the inherent goodness of the human heart and how important it is to cultivate connectivity and intimacy and love in this world. You will probably see very quickly just what agenda is driving the bulk of the information we are given.
To be clear. There is no point in pointing the finger on the outside appearance whether it be a news media outlet or a politician or anything else. Each one of us is making that choice about our founding Attitude in each moment. We choose what we bring our attention on. The news can give us a clear view to the state of the world and how it is reflecting how we are choosing to collectively approach this all important choice right now.
I am the first to admit that there are waves of frustration rising in me watching the current events unfolding. And in that I am reminded of the importance of the choice I am making right in this moment. Am I creating separation? Am I actually increasing fear in this world? Am I demanding a condition of safety in this world of imminent danger? Or am I choosing to find a connection with the spirit, universality, the good, all pervasive consciousness, the source?
Even to stop briefly to ask these questions may shift the focus onto what is real. It does for me and I set this standard for myself every day. I did not come into this world to feel safe, but to know what is real and to ultimately answer the question of who am I?
If this resonates with you even slightly then we are experiencing being connected in the spirit of what is real. That connects us. It is who we are. There is no fear. That is a self-imposed condition that has a reality only as long as we give our attention to it. Illusion gathers strength from our captured attention much like a tv that pulls our awareness into its screen of moving pictures.
We are conditioned to see separation, we are conditioned to experience fear as the foundation of this world. Without an anchor to what we are in truth, we identify with the mirage of the surface appearance of life.
What this moment in spiral expansion of consciousness is bringing to us is an opportunity. Our desire to Ascend, to rise beyond this level of experience, has brought us into this age of apparent conflict. The mind virus of fear that has been in our collective consciousness for so long is now surfacing. It is coming to be seen for what it is. Let´s not shy away from this opportunity, but look at it straight in the eye. The only way to Ascend fear is to move through it.
The greatest fear is the fear of dying. We all share that living in the physical body. The current version of the mind virus tells us that there is something that can kill us and end our physical lives. It has a reality that very few can deny. That is so because we collectively hold onto an idea about ourselves as physical bodies that are born and that die. To meet that fear, we must meet the darkness at the very core of our being.
There is nothing safe about that.
In fact it takes courage and bravery.
It takes humility to become intimate with something that is unknown and dark. And yet within that darkness is the light that we are. The freedom is finding that light within you own heart as a real experience, not just an idea.
We are all in this together. Even those that appear to oppose the good. The world of duality is coming to meet universality. So change is certain for those two do not co-exist. Let’s embrace what is here now in our own selves and in our growth and look at the world with the eyes of understanding that all of us are doing the best that we can.
A choice of one individual – is the choice of the One. It affects everything.
