DIGGING OUT OUR FEARS

Ah.............. my insomnia is getting better. I am very thankful and thanks to those who messaged me with their comments. They are helpful. In my own little sphere of people I know, relatives and friends, there are several who suffer from some form of insomnia. I wonder how common it is?

According to some it is common and caused by the increased energy flow on Planet Earth. As the consciousness rises across the planet we are all invited to give up our hidden fears that hold us stagnant or at least impede our spiritual and psychological growth.

We all have them. Fear was intended to be a friendly warning that some danger was about to impinge upon us. It needs to be dealt with in the now, immediately. Our egos which were meant to serve us knew they existed only because of our belief in separation. The separation became so extreme that we began identifying with our egos rather than our spirit. Never completely one way or the other. Individually and collectively we facilitated between war and peace.

It has been a long journey, our struggle with ego dominance has led to myriad examples of war and destruction.

On an individual level many us who have a long history of choosing love and peace, still have buried fears that create hidden and not so hidden anxieties. Through this lifetime and in all past ones we may have attempted to eschew the significance of the ego. A war on the ego doesn't work. I will discuss why in a later blog.

The ego is brilliant at making an immediate fear into an ongoing concern. If we are seeking peace we cannot tolerate the annoyance so we tend to 'bury' it. In the future when we are aware of fear, look to see how to protect yourself. The action will be immediate, now. If there is no action to be taken stop entertaining the idea, don't judge it, don't evaluate it and dismiss it as harmless. If you are one who has been practicing associating love with all of your actions, you are ahead of the game.

For the hidden fears we may have been carrying with us, we can look for them. It is a type of meditation, but instead of not letting them in we let them arise, turn them over in our minds, do not attach feelings, realize they are a trick of the ego and let them go. If we don't attach feelings or significance to them, they will not return. That doesn't mean we won't have to do it again with the same fear. We are complicated beings, we don't always see how we re-invite a fear. It is hard to believe but we can have favorite fears like flavors of ice cream.

It would be be helpful to have a quiet time twice a day and first dismiss active and hidden fears and then sink into a loving peaceful state for a few minutes. One doesn't need to search for fears just deal with the ones that float up. Dismiss them as errors and don't re-bury them. It greatly helps to have some belief in an energy and existence outside your body. There is help but one has to discover that for themselves.

The devout who accept the core beliefs of their religion have a great advantage. They know God is Love and they know we have help available. I have studied the core beliefs of the major religions of the world and they all accept God is Love. We are all part of God. We are One.

The negativity coming from religion is caused by folks distorting the premises for the purpose of control. No religion on Earth has stayed in its pure form for more than a few years. Most were developed into a control mechanism almost at their inception.

Despite that, there are millions and millions of devout people of all faiths who have been able to relate to the core beliefs and disregard the craziness. They shine love upon a thirsty world.

I don't accept any religion but I accept the core beliefs of all. I believe we are one, inseparable from our creator and at a spirit level we know this. I believe we took this trip to experience separation. Love is Oneness. Separation is Ego.

My religion is a search for what is. I believe in an infinitely Loving Universe. I want to know it. I want to explore it. I want to love everybody in it.

Happy Wednesday!

Love and Peace, Gregg
