What is fear ?
What is love ?
One is an engine of derailment
The other
The wings with which everything flies
And to the degree these energies
Or these spirits
Or these forces fill our lives
Determines everything about them
We all wish we could eliminate fear almost entirely
Basic fears would be good to keep
Like fear of stepping in front of a bus
Or stepping off the ledge of a building is probably helpful
But the fears that ruin our days
Fears led by the imagination
That imagine disaster
Or financial ruin
Or health destroyed
Or the fear of what others think
Or the fear of pursuing our purpose
Our vision our goals
Imagine if we could push a button and remove them all
I think most of us would jump at that in a second
And imagine that we could wield the power of love at will
Lives overflowing with enthusiasm
Creative desire pumping through our veins
Without any hesitation towards execution
A deep understanding that we are taken care of
And not made to live lives of disaster
Or dull distraction
But rather to wake up inspired filled with energy to the brim
Without even a thought of not pursuing our dreams or our purpose here
Of course we would pick that reality
To cultivate love though we have to find ways of overcoming fear
For fear is like gravity
That pulls us into its vortex of inactivity
It’s as if we have dual natures
An ego nature and a spiritual one
The ego’s nature native region is fear
The spiritual is love
So when our identity is firmly rooted in ego
We tend to be fear based
Where as when we are rooting identity in the spiritual
We tend towards love
Our mornings are our launching pads between these two realities
Our eyes open at dawn
And the ego’s anxieties are there immediately sitting at the side of our beds
Looking at us with crossed eyes
As if to say
Remember me
What are you gonna do about this?
What are you gonna do about that?
Look there’s your phone
How about distract yourself so you don’t have to deal with us
And at that moment if we don’t apply effort
If we don’t flap our wings to escape the gravity of fear
Our day will tend to be defined by fear
Our creativity and our motivation will be hobbled
And we will be like children walking through a haunted house
Just looking for escape with cheap dopamine fixes
Or escalating addictions
Or anything we can find from the nightmare machines of our imaginations
But if we rather open our eyes
Understanding deeply that these two opposing forces are vying for accumulation of our souls energy
We can push the dial towards love but not without considerable effort and insight into how these forces operate
And our own habitual behaviors which push the dial towards either fear or love
So how do we cultivate love?
The good news is love is the ultimate reality
And fear is mostly an illusion
So for love we must find our way to the reality of the here and now
(Aka presence)
Our ego
Or fear based reality spins into being through
The cloudy weather of our thoughts
(Living in the past and the future which are always illusions)
If we see our thinking as the ultimate reality
We are lost in a land of illusion and principalities running rampant
Picking us off with bullets of fear
Like unprotected soldiers on the front line of spiritual war
But if we rather choose to practice present moment awareness first thing
If we seek love first thing
And ask it to fill our souls
Ask it to lead us through the day
See our thoughts from the high plane of observation (metacognition) and call them out as the alien forces that they are
Rather than benchmarks of our identity
We have at least a fighting chance to be led by love
And actually be in the moment we are in
Charged with the spirit of creative motivation
And the enthusiasm to pursue our real purpose
Vision and goals
And as all fear is thought based
With the practice of observing thoughts rather than being them (metacognition)
We can learn to dismantle the illusionary power of fear
Until these practices become habitual and second nature
It’s not easy to do because the truth is
Most of us
Ok all of us
Are ego maniacs
At least until we suffer enough to try and move beyond ego based identity
So to dismantle fear is akin to dismantling our egos
Genius lives just beyond ego death
Our houses of genius live in the realm of love
Genius is no more than ability to allow love to guide the will of our creativity
This book is designed to help you build your house of genius in the landscape of love
To overcome fear
And all the dirty tricks of the dark sides of our nature
Or our unnatural nature
And since we are ultimately talking about spiritual realms
(For what else are love and fear?)
The strategies within are mostly spiritual in nature
The mind or thoughts are the crux of the problem here
So it’s not difficult that we can’t think our way out of this
Infact the engine of thought needs to be dismantled almost entirely
