MM#26:

When I wrote the last two pieces, they were stale, sitting in my to-do list for… some time…

As I composed them, I wondered what I was getting at. Now that I’m writing this post, I think I know why I started with them.

Catch up on the previous posts, if you desire:

1. Signs, Signs, Everywhere a Sign
2. Rules Make Stricture

Or just read on…

*Fun side note, I wrote this post backwards for some reason. Smile emoji.

The Sign of Fear

What’s that over there? A poisonous spider! Good lord, get away. Do not let it sting you, you may die!

A spider, like many beasts and critters, becomes a sign of fear. Cut an image of a spider out of paper and hang it at the end of October in parts of the world and you might enjoy the fun of fear.

But when the symbol of fear becomes more intense, when the darkness overcomes reason and logic, the fear becomes an issuance of control.

The sign of fear is inherent in our culture. Parents tell their children at every passing moment: Do this and you will get hurt. Don’t talk to that person, he is dangerous. Eat your dinner, there are starving people in the world.

Fear as an idea, a symbol, a sign comes in many forms. But its creation is always the same, born of the fear itself, and itself breeds more fear. Just as you cannot fight fire with fire, nor can you overcome fear by agreeing to be in fear.

Where do you sign your name on the contract of Fear? Where do you agree to be in fear and let it dictate choices in your life?

Stricture: Rule By Fear

The more fear people claim, the more fear they are put in, the more strict the rules can become.

When a school tells its students that you must do this or that or else you will fail, get sent to detention, or get expelled, the strictness level increases with each act of so-called rebelliousness to the expectations of school as an institute.

When a doctor tests your vitals and claims that your numbers are not within normal limits, the fear may be claimed by the patient and the willingness to take the medication may become not only apparent, but completely and unutterably pertinent to continued survival.

When a government announces to its citizens that we must wage a war over there before that country has a chance to do damage to us or some other; that terrorism must be rooted out and it could be anywhere; that its own citizens must adhere to strict laws of obedience or be cast out of its society (whether by prison or worse); the collective fear the populace may experience is not only gripping but mind-numbing.

People can become cogs in a wheel of a machine they did not build. The machine is fear and the fuel is each citizen’s blood, sweat and tears.

When a religion claims that your very soul is on the line whether you follow the dogma and rules of its own choosing, chosen in history and in control of others; when a religion claims dominance over other belief systems and condemns the other; when a religion creates a hell and a devil and eternal damnation if you make a mistake according to their whims; the fear has ownership of not only your mind and body but your very soul itself!

The stricter the rulership gets, the more powerful the manifestations of fear.

I Object!

My guides had fun inspiring this subheading. Out of the corner (upper edge?) of my eye, I could swear I caught sight of the word “object” in my HTML or text. Nope. Maybe I unconsciously translated the HTML “object” into the word itself? Either way, the result I could not object to.

When you look beyond the signs, symbols, words, etc., as I just did, you may realize that there is something other than what we tend to see and call to us in our field, visual or otherwise. There are whole dimensions of activity outside of the physical world.

So…

I, the objective viewer of reality?

I, the object of my own and others’ perceptions?

I object! to a reality claimed in limitation?

I read it as all of these options and more. But the focus for me will follow:

I object to being guided by fear.

I object to strict rules made by those who wish to control.

I object to following the leader when the leader doesn’t make sense.

I object to a world that doesn’t know itself in truth as what it really is, an aspect of the divine.

I object to seeing a world of separation, each from the other and more heretical of all, in separation from God.

Yet!

I do agree to see a world anew.

I do agree to lift the world above control.

I do agree to rise above fear and lift the world to a new vibration where fear does not inhabit.

I see the world as God sees the world, as one with its source, lifting in frequency so that all may know themselves in truth as aspects of the divine.

And I see this post ending now.

 

Thank you for reading. I hope it struck a chord with you. Wink emoji. Share if you like. Comment if you like. I do as I like, too. Wink emoji again.

 

Many, many, many blessings to all, in truth and freedom!
