Prophetic Words

Remember my thoughts after reading "I am not the body; I am the soul"? (http://www.wie.org/j22/ashrita.asp )

The way fear is like love, is that it's endless. Neither love or fear are necessarily rational - but for the choice we make to engage in them.

I also wrote:
Fear is the enemy of love.

And
We become what we surrender to. I can surrender to the power of Love. I can choose that.

But, what DID I choose to surrender to yesterday?

This morning, I woke up knowing that I needed to chose love, and push aside the endless mess of fear. I cuddled with my wife for the first time in a long time, and whispered loving thoughts.

We kissed like it should last forever. And then, we made love.

It made yesterday seem all the more ridiculous.

I am not the body

During the day, my thoughts wander a bit, as my job is no longer the deep, intellectual puzzle it used to be. I've climbed to a more harmoneous plateau, and, with things running much smoother, I'm not as freaked out and stressed out all the time.

so, I have a bit more brainwidth available. I find myself on wie.org a lot, and when I'm doing relatively brain-light tasks, like building a PowerPoint deck, I listen to the audio clips.

I poke around, and find the articles very intriguing. I keep returning to this one: http://www.wie.org/j22/ashrita.asp

As I was reading, I paused to write down some thoughts:

The way fear is like love, is that it's endless. Neither love or fear are necessarily rational - but for the choice we make to engage in them.

Fear : Love

Isolated : Open/Inspirational
Reactive : Visionary
Stuck : Fluid
"Me" : "us"
Angry : Compassionate

Fear is the enemy of love.

We become what we surrender to. I can surrender to the power of Love. I can choose that.
