Our birthright is love, peace, and happiness. And to choose love, peace, and happiness is a choice that we make every moment of our lives. This is the ultimate free will that we have as humans. To choose Love in our thoughts, actions, and feelings is the reason for our being incarnated on this planet at this time. It often seems like a daunting task when there seems to be so much fear and chaos around us. But know that the only way to transmute the fear and chaos surrounding us is to change those very symptoms within us.

If there is fear and chaos in your life, look within yourself for the source of these feelings. Take a long and hard look at those feelings and energies within yourself. The deeper that you go within, the less power that they will have over you. For in reality, you are the one who has empowered the fear and chaos in your life. You are the one who has allowed the fear and chaos to manifest in the physical aspect of your life.

A seven-year-old client of mine was a great teacher in regards to dealing with fear. He had been sexually abused repeatedly as a very young child. As we worked with the energies and memories surrounding the abuse, this young boy became quite frightened. With my encouragement and support, he began to walk towards his worst fears. I had him visualize his fears which he described as a wall of monsters. This young boy had the courage of a warrior as he walked towards, and eventually through the wall of monsters.

To his surprise, the wall was quite thin. He was quite excited as he told me that he had walked through the wall, and was actually on the other side. I instructed him to walk back through the wall, and then to repeat the process several times. Then, I instructed him to stand directly in the middle of the wall, to allow the energies of the wall to flow over him like water, and to describe to me what he was seeing and feeling. As he described his experience, the fear faded away. He was no longer afraid of the wall of monsters, and in fact it too had disappeared.

The lesson that this young man has for us all is that fear is a paper tiger. It is an illusion. It appears on the surface to hold a lot of power, and indeed it does. It is our power, the power that we have energetically given to it. If we want to reclaim that power, we must walk towards, and through the fear. And this does take courage. It is seemingly walking towards our death. But the only death that occurs is the death of the fear in our lives.

The creation of fear occurs in the mind. Whenever a life experience occurs that is outside of the past experience of a person, fear is generated. It is the unknown. The reaction of the mind and ego is to run away, or to shutdown through denial, when an experience is on the outside of the mind and ego's known reality.

But know that the experience is not outside of the realm of the larger part of ourselves--our soul and spirit. At the level of your Higher Self, you chose to have this experience. This bigger part of yourself is "outside" the 3rd dimensional perceptions of your current life. It has a broader and more comprehensive view of what is really going on. And this larger part of you knows that fear is an illusion. Fear's purpose is to help us find that the only true reality is Love.

When you allow yourself to fully feel and recognize fear in your life, not only does its power over you diminish (remember, this is your power) , but the energy of Love becomes even more present in your life. Fear is like an energetic veil that dilutes your full contact with Life. When the energy of this veil is decreased, you automatically begin to be more present in your life, and you feel love more powerfully. Why is this? Because Love is aways there. It has never gone away. It is the very fabric of all life. So when we release the veils of fear and separation that surround our experience on the 3rd dimension, what magically comes into greater focus is Love.

This can actually be an overwhelming experience initially, for Love's power is truly awesome and beyond description. Its power is often outside the experience that most of us have on a conscious level.

Love is the only energy in the universe that connects with God, or the All That Is. It is the roadmap home. Love creates energy patterns that are inclusive and ever expanding. There is no loss of energy, but rather an exponential growth of energy. As one enters the slipstream of Love, and is able to maintain their balance and stability by holding only loving and inclusive thoughts and feelings, then one is propelled on the vortexes of Light through the barriers of this dimension. One knows that there is only Oneness. This is the experience of the mystics, of enlightenment, and Self realization. Literally one expands beyond the veils of physicality to include the non-physical realities in their experience--The All That Is.

We are at a time where these veils of physicality and time are wafer thin. If we choose Love, Peace, and Oneness, they can become consciously manifest on this 3rd dimensional plane. For this is truly why we are in bodies at this time--to bring the energies of Peace and Love to this planet at this time regardless of what "they" tell us. And remember, the "they" are actually you....
