Doing the same thing over and over again —- that is fear.
“We must love. We can not afford to hate.” Prof Wm Council, 1897
Our natural state of being is from Love and IS Love Itself. For as long as we deny our natural state— we will be in fear. As long as we tolerate fear, fear will continue to run wild throughout our life or experience. Just as Kindness begets kindness, fear begets fear.
When we accept that fear thoughts are only errors in our thinking we are then willing to let correction be done to our errant thoughts. Mistakes are for correction not punishment.
From pleasant dreams to unpleasant to even atrocious dreams, we must become aware we are choosing which thoughts we allow into our minds. Our mind is part of God’s Mind, so it is powerful. Our minds have made up an entire world and all it’s complexities, all it’s divisions. it’s opposites. Our belief in the world is so strong we can barely imagine anything else to be true (and when we try the ego warns us not to go there without dire consequences). So we do the same thing over and over, following the chosen belief over and over, repeating the idea again and again — — which is what strengthens the idea. It makes the idea appear as solid as granite stone. So what is mistaken appears as the only reality.
Thankfully we have another choice! The fear based mind does not want to acknowledge that we can choose differently — or that there is another thought system we can use. The egoic mind wants only to use the fear based system and thus do the fear thoughts appear seemingly at random. Fear comes to mind to disrupt peace. We must want to reject (or not entertain) the fear thoughts. We must accept responsibility for what we allow into our mind.
The world I “see” was made from fear. Do I want to live in the fear filled world? Or do I want a world of peace, compassion and acceptance? Do I want to know the truth of a Love that is all encompassing, without limit or conditions without end?
Really? Do I choose Love or fear?
