Love is often presented as the opposite
of fear, but true love is not the opposite of anything. True love is far
more powerful than any negative emotions, as it is the environment in
which all things arise. Negative emotions are like sharks swimming in the
ocean of love. All things beautiful and fearful, ugly and kind, powerful
and small, come into existence, do their thing, and disappear within the
context of this great ocean. At the same time, they are made of the very
love in which they swim and can never be separated. We are made of this
love and live our whole lives at one with it, whether we know it or not.
It is only the illusion that we are
separate from this great love that causes us to believe that choosing
anything other than love makes sense or is even possible. In the
relative, dualistic world of positive and negative, darkness and light,
male and female, we make choices and we learn from them. This is exactly
what we are meant to be doing here on Earth. Underlying these relative
choices, though, is the choice to be conscious of what we are, which is
love, or to be unconscious of it. When we choose to be conscious of it,
we choose love. We will still exist in the relative world of opposites
and choices and cause and effect, but doing so with an awareness that we
are all made of this love will enable us to be more playful, more joyful,
more loving and wise.
This world makes it easy to forget this
great love, which is part of why we are here. We are here to remember and
to choose love.
