It's what we do

I think this means that fear is our own creation---just as the world is. We create the situation, and the fear to go with it. It's just one of the things we do.

So, if the fear is making you feel bad and you don't want to feel that way, then go inside and find the love that's in you. The love helps you get in touch with your memories of Heaven, though on a subconscious level. And that will lift you out of the fear for awhile.

And then, keep in mind that life is a continual experience. That's what it really is. It isn't a school or learning game, as such. It's an experience. We created it, because we wanted that experience. If you understand that, then you enjoy it much more.

Help me with this one. What does this Edgar Cayce reading mean?

"For perfect love casteth out fear, and fear can only be from the material things that soon must fade away.
And thus hold to the higher thought of eternity. For life is a continual experience."

WHO WE ARE

A good friend of mine was upset recently, because things weren't working out in her life like she wanted. She couldn't get what she wanted. Instead, she kept getting what she didn't want. She said the world was all messed up and dragging her down.

Here's what I told her:

I truly believe that everything is unfolding as it should. It took me a long, long time to get to this point, though. And saying something like that to someone who doesn't understand it, is like punching them in the stomach.

It reminds me of a verse in the Tao Te Ching talking about how people react when hearing about the Tao. It says some are moved instantly, others study it with great reward, some respect it, and then it says this---"Some, upon hearing the Tao, laugh. If they did not laugh, it would not be the Tao."

Everything, even what we don't like or don't understand, is in perfect order. It has to be for anything to be.

I believe we are moved through the world by who we are. The things and experiences that come to us, do it because that's what's drawn to who we are. If they didn't happen, we wouldn't be who we are.

No accidents.
