You have been trained, by virtually all of society, to live in the state of Fear, so that you can be controlled by those of the rich and powerful who are also fearful. That is not your destiny! You are here to learn how to fully live in Love, not Fear. Many of the rich and powerful are no longer fearful and no longer have the need to control anyone. Those of the rich and powerful who are still choosing to live in Fear, however, will attempt to control all situations and people so that they can build the appearance of safety for themselves - actually very much a false sense of safety, but that is the best that they can do. Almost all humans now live in the state of Fear and do not even understand what Love means, or why it is so desirable. There are only two sets of thoughts and emotions, the set called Fear and the set called Love and Above (often short-formed to Love. The two sets do not overlap and most of us who say that we love another are not yet capable of Love since we still live in Fear; unfortunately that is usually by choice although humans seldom admit that terrible truth. This situation is denied by almost all who survive in the set of thoughts and emotions called Fear. It is only when you step out of Fear that you can truly Love: a) yourself; b) other humans; c) all living things; and d) finally everything in this universe. While the set called Fear has many common emotions, including hate and fear and worry and even despair, the set called Love has fewer states, with the English language less powerful than most in describing them. Four of the Greek words for states of Love are found in the Christian bible. You are a spiritual being having a journey as a human being, since that journey provides you with many opportunities to grow in spiritual power, towards your Divine Creator, the essence that some of us call God. Everything that happens to you includes the opportunity to: look for and find the hidden lesson within it; choose to learn that lesson; then put the lesson into practice. Sooner or later the lessons must be learned! Since God is actually Love, or could be more accurately described as the flowing Process of Love, your learning to live in Love, not Fear, is an essential change for you who survive in our present, failed condition. You should be living in Love as it offers such a different way of seeing both the universe and your place within it. There are many states beyond Love, including Unconditional Love, joy, peace and finally the complex set of states called enlightenment. In the end, reaching Enlightenment is your ultimate Destiny as a human. There are many teachers who can now show us the way. One of the reasons that this author is writing is to help direct you who have come to understand that your present Religions are a part of the problem, not a part of the solution. As you learn to Love better and more powerfully, you will close the present gap between your Creator and yourself. As you move along The Way, which was learned, taught, lived and completed by Jesus, The Christ of the Jewish people, you will leave Fear, in all of its manifestations, behind you. When we are living in Fear, you deny that you have a choice; there is no option for you to choose Love as others have done so many things to us that we have no options but to just survive in Fear. This viewpoint is false, but is usually treated as Dogma, so it cannot even be rationally discussed. At any instant in time and space you can just reject just surviving in Fear and start living in Love. When the cost of living in Fear becomes too high, just as when the cost of being a drunk becomes too high, you can change how you see things and move on out into your trip along The Way towards your Divine Creator.
About the Author: The author, Jim H. White writes as Jesuis Laplume which stands for "I am the pen" or scribe. I am not always the only author of some of my writings. I find this to be simultaneously exciting and scary and I am driven to write so that others may hear about what I have learned by and through writing. I was trained as a scientist, but in an Engineering faculty, so that I learned the basics that would help me understand Science and Mathematics, then help move it into updated Engineering. I subsequently spent five decades helping to move leading-edge Science into practice in eight different fields, finding out that the person who told existing experts that they would have to learn new things was not welcomed - nor was his troubling information. I studied both the evolving Science, at very large and the very small scales, plus the spirituality part of Religions, to form an overview of how Science and spirituality are coming together for the first time since the ancient Greek scholars. They pictured Science and Philosophy (spirituality is a part of Philosophy) as two sides of one coin - still a useful concept. I found from my studies that, for almost two millennia we have been fed lies to prevent us from knowing who we really are; "spiritual beings having a human experience." That human journey brings us ongoing chances to learn lessons that we will need if we are to grow in spiritual power, towards our Divine Creator. Both Science and spirituality, which is the basic reason for Religions in the first place, are needed as we humans continue our evolution from the thinking but fearful Homo sapiens into the loving Homo spiritus. Many humans are now well along the way in that evolution and can help us follow them if we choose to do so. Most of us, however, will choose to continue to survive in the many states of Fear, with the devil that we know more acceptable than any form of change, even change for the very much better. As a result, these reluctant people will be left behind as part of a failed experiment in mind over spirit; with spirit being the more powerful and desirable. Love and Above to those who will follow!
