Thank you Susan. Well, I can share with you what my learning was in regard to danger. I was never particularly scared of anything except when my husband was away and I was left alone with my children.
Suddenly I aware of being alone without a male around! (Sounds pathetic I know, but that was then!) I would lock doors and be nervous at night! You have to realize I live in a safe place where nothing is locked and no keys are removed from cars! I wouldnt even know where to find the keys to lock any doors! Just the way it is and always has been. Most people, I think, would lock their doors around here but we never have.
Anyway I thought about this fear thing back then of being alone, but it wasnt until I read a book called "The Spectrum of Consciousness" by ? (can't remember, Itll come to me soon!) In it the author described each individual's world as "them". That everything in "your world" is you. All the people, all the circumstances, even all the animals (Ive come to realize) are "you" Aspects of you, attitudes of "you". This 3D world and especially religion encourages us to put everything into black and white, good and bad, male and female. Take religion for instance. We are encouraged to accept Good and reject Bad. But the thing is everyone has elements of everything in them. We have All the tendencies. Males have their female counterpart inside of them.Females have there own maleness. Everyone has negative aspects to them. What happens when good is accepted, or positive only, is that the so-called negative is projected out, into the environment. This then causes imbalance. The projected negative or fear is reflected back through people or events outside of ourselves. Yet it is still us, only denied, rejected! When people realize this and accept all parts of themselves then there is Balance.
As I read and understood this, everything changed. I have never been scared again! I realized that whatever happened to me, I created through my own thoughts, my own belief systems. The thing is that people don't even realize that they are doing this, its sub-conscious, automatic in them. Its to delve deep, very deep and dig out all this "stuff" that frees us.
I also understood this from the viewpoint of being a singer. I would get soo nervous before performing. This was the projection of my own energy OUT into my audience, which was then reflected back to me very powerfully. I now hold my energy inside of me and Im generally not nervous because I now understand the dynamics of my own energy. Maybe this may help others on the forum, I dont know. What I do know is this: Unless we start implementing all this knowledge and not just talking about it, its not worth anything! Its just philosophy. Its not worth the paper its written on if its not APPliED. Knowledge is power, but knowledge applied and experienced is WISDOM
Love and Light
