Fear

by Rev. Lee Catalano, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

Fear is not the fear of God, which is what I believed for SO long. The material of A Course In Miracles must be digested over time, for there is so much resistance to truth buried in the unconscious. I have been a devout student for 33 years. Remember what Jesus told the apostles? They had been with him every single day for at least three years, and He told them they would understand His teachings later.

When Saul was struck down blind, he went into the quiet for several years and emerged as St. Paul. This fear that we have is our anguish and terror that we have been abandoned by God’s Love. Jesus wants us to see through the interpretation of the Holy Spirit when we feel someone has defaulted into fear and attack. Can you see it in yourself? I sure can. This realization, this awakening had me very still at my desk this morning. I normally write an article for Pathways very fast, but nothing was dawning. Well here it is.

Can you remember a time when you felt pure and devastating anguish? Allow the Holy Spirit and His pure Love to go there with you and re-interpret it in your mind.

There is TERROR and ANGUISH in the mind. As I answer every call for Love that comes my way, this terror and anguish is healing within MY mind. Remember “we do not heal alone.” That angry cab driver, that obnoxious co-worker, that rude daughter-in-law, that gossipy, jealous neighbor? All my SAVIORS. Why and HOW is that? Because what is appearing there is not only fear, but the unconscious TERROR of being cut off from Love. The desire to receive the Holy Spirit’s interpretation of them, heals me! 

<---- Me at my desk sighing and praying right now. Wow, just wow.

I need to end this article now so I can put my head in my hands and cry. I’m so very grateful.
