Dear Friends,
Love and Fear
It has been said at the ultimate root of all human interactions is either love or fear. Love motivates to selfless service and sacrifice. We saw this played out most recently, in the aftermath of the tragic Boston bombings. Love impels, it does not compel. It asks nothing for itself. It is coherent energy flowing from the heart. By its very nature it unifies and heals. This too we have seen in recent days and in the aftermath of other tragedies. Only love has the power to drive out or transform energies of lower frequency or vibration - fear, hate, anger and the like.
Fear is incoherent energy. It separates, alienates and can paralyze. Fear is energy of the mind, and ego driven consciousness - without heart. It manifests as violence in its many forms. It virtually shutdown the city of Boston, it imprisons without hope of release, it justifies state sanctioned killing of perceived enemies in the name of "freedom." It makes war.
We have become a nation more driven by out fears than by love for one another and ourselves. Yet in our finest hour, in the aftermath of tragedy, we unite for a higher good. In the moment, we move out of our heads and into our hearts. Love is our true nature, if we allow it.
What can we do individually and collectively to transform ourselves and nation - LOVE - fear not? This we have been told repeatedly.
Only love has the power of transformation, to heal our ourselves, our nation and the world. Love or fear, the choice is ours??? On this we will rise or fall.
