Besides the commercialism of the LOA, the other thing I wanted to talk about tonight was the meditation from Holy Shift: 365 Meditations from A Course in Miracles. I really like this book and I think I will use it a lot through my life, because you really can just keep going through it year after year after year.
Today’s meditation is:
If you knew Who walks beside you
On the way that you have chosen,
fear would be
impossible.Text – 18 III. 3:2
It’s a simple one tonight.
Fear can hold us back from so many wonderful things and so much of the fear that we experience is just projection of our past onto our future. Maybe it’s a survival mechanism from the days of being chased by saber tooth tigers. We tend to remember the bad things that happen to us and go out of our way to make sure the experience is not repeated. I think that we can take it a little too far, and limit ourselves from new and positive experiences, simply by virtue of fear.
I read a quote I liked somewhere and I can’t find it online so I don’t know who said it, but it was:
I have spent a lifetime worrying about the worst things that never happened to me.
Live today. Enjoy your life without fear. We have so much wonderful divine support helping and guiding us. We may go wrong, or make a decision that isn’t right for us, but we certainly can’t fear the possibility. What if the one thing you fear the most is the thing that skyrockets you into the next evolution of yourself?
Shoot for the moon. The worst that can happen is that you’ll land among the stars.
