ON USING FEAR TO LIGHT OUR PATH

[This is a slightly reworked reprint of my post of December 31, 2019]

[My blinding flash of the obvious in the year just passed, 2020: Fear must be God in camouflage for nothing turns me to God faster than fear seriously changed my way of thinking, feeling, doing and being...most of the time. And when I caught myself, even then. The following was written pre-BFO, and I can stand on it.]

Fear is not lifted out of us. Praying for God to take away fear is a waste of our breath and God's time. No. God does not take away our fear...he imbues us with the power to walk through it to get to Him. We are the source of all our woes, and I just think of God as the cleanup crew...of which, there is none better.

Our ego seeks to be absolved of all blame always...but blame is just fear with a new hairdo. We are slow to learn that is where God's glory lies...blame (fear) is spiritual growth aborning to lift us deeper. 

Time set aside daily to meditate, to journal, to ponder on the mysteries of the spiritual is the new GPS we are gifted with.

We slowly realize the nature of the path we have been set upon. It is a path that leads us ever forward guided by ego's denial of its determined hold. The many bumps in our road are our hard-earned giftees; equally important, they benefit others at the same time we are being gifted. Thus we all come out of self free.

Fear is not lifted out of us, it is transmuted...used to light our path out of self into God's hidey-hole.

Thank you.
