An understanding of our own fear reactions and how they operate helps to cultivate a state of loving kindness.
When we find ourselves pulled back into illusions created by fear, it's helpful to recognize our own toxic feelings for what they are, and allow ourselves to shift away from them. Then we find ourselves transfigured into the new energy state of truth.
The first step in the process is our communion, our communication with what is real, what is actually happening. For me the link occurs when I put a pen to paper and write in my journal. For some the link comes when they are in communion with nature. The hook up can occur when we meditate or pray. Better than Time Warner, the link, the communion to our inner guide, our intuition reminds us that we are never alone, we will not be abandoned, and opens us up to the truth of what is happening.
Step two is when we allow our communion with what is real to move us beyond what we perceive in our ordinary fear state as boundaries, past any perceived suffering and pain, into a state of smooth eternity - a BIG SMOOTH where time and space as we ordinarily conceive of them are suspended. After this subtle shift in perception, in this state of smooth understanding, we realize more and more that everything is happening at once, and then the transformation, that isn't really a transformation because it is already happening, can take precedence. We can shift, easily, quicker than time, beyond fear to the mind space of what is real.
Finally, when we get to that spot we realize innumerable love, love that is a revelation and we are at peace with what is true, fearless, in a space of joy.
1. Commune; 2. The Smooth Shift; 3. Innumerable love - revealed.
We'll know we're executing the smooth shift when all fighting ceases
Today I allow the subtle, smooth shift in perspective to occur. Today I open to the loving kindness that is.
