Love or fear

There is but one basic choice: love or fear. Whatever the apparent complexity of the situation, these are the only two underlying wellsprings of your interpretation. Fear manifests in anger, hostility, anxiety, condemnation, attack, retaliation, punishment, depression, and despair. Love manifests in trust in God because of the recognition that only what is not real can be destroyed: we are perfectly safe, as we are neither body nor situation. With no threat there is nothing to be afraid of. Any spiritual path boils down to one thing and one thing only, from which all else flows: change your mind. This means admitting not only that God's words of love and safety may be right but that they are right and you are wrong. How do you know you are wrong? You are not at peace. If you are never at peace does that mean you are always wrong? Axiomatically, yes. You have to choose: do you want to be right or do you want to be happy? The only way you can be both is to change your mind and recognise that every single instance of upset evidences delusion. Change your mind! Love! What? Everything! What if something or someone appears unlovable? You are misperceiving it: everything is an expression of love or a call for love.
