ON USING FEAR TO LIGHT OUR PATH, II

[The following is a slightly reworked reprint of my post of December 31, 2019.]

Fear is never lifted out of us. God does not take away our fear...nothing turns us to God faster than fear. There is our first gift of gratitude...in a brown paper bag. 

Again and yet again: We are the source of all our woes. God is our spiritual lantern or our egoic cleanup crew, our choice: Choose you this day whom you shall serve.

Our ego seeks to be absolved of all blame always...but blame is just fear in a different masquerade. We are slow to learn that is where God's glory lies...blame (fear) is spiritual growth aborning for to lift us deeper. Time set aside daily to meditate, to journal, to ponder on the mysteries of the spiritual is our today's GPS.

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; just as important, they must benefit each of us equally. Thus we all come out free of self.

Fear is never lifted out of us...it is used to light our path out of self into God's hidey-hole.

Thank you.
