The Choice for Love or Fear
 |
I have been thinking about fear as I wrote about it yesterday, here is a beautiful text. At any moment we have the choice between love and fear.
The Choice for Love (by Emmanuel as told by Ram Dass)
What does the voice of fear whisper to you?
Fear speaks to you in logic and reason.
It assumes the language of love itself.
Fear tells you, "I want to make you safe."
Love says, "You are safe."
Fear says, "Give me symbols. Give me frozen images. Give me something I can rely on."
Loving truth says, "Only give me this moment."
Fear would walk you on a narrow path promising to take you where you want to go.
Love says, "Open your arms and fly with me."
Every moment of your life you are offered the opportunity to choose-
Love or fear,
To tread the earth or to soar the heavens.
Fear is finite. Love is infinity.
Thanks Loic this is truly great ... Reminds me of a great commencement speech by Jim Carrey on choosing love over fear (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V80-gPkpH6M) “Fear is going to be a player in your life, but you get to decide how much ... You can fail at what you don't want, so you might as well take a chance at doing what you love ... you will only ever have two choices: love or fear. Choose love, and don’t ever let fear turn you against your playful heart.” Also the first lesson in the Bhagavad Gita has precious wisdom on choosing faith over fear
