Fear is energy which contracts, closes down, draws in, runs, hides, hoards, harms. Love is the energy which expands, opens up, sends out, stays, reveals, shares, HEALS.

And the reason is found in the first lie - the lie which you hold as the truth about God - that God cannot be trusted; that God's love cannot be depended upon; that God's acceptance of you is conditional; that the ultimate outcome is thus in doubt. For if you cannot depend on God's love to always be there, on whose love can you depend? If God retreats and withdraws when you do not perform properly, will not mere mortals also?

Religion asks you to learn from the experience of others. Spirituality urges you to seek your own.

Ignore your previous experience and go into the moment. Be Here Now. See what there is to work with right now in creating yourself anew. Life is an ongoing, never-ending process of re-creation.

Your life is not about what you are doing. Yet, it is true that what you are doing is often a reflection of what your life is about.

It is the mark of a primitive society to view regression as progress.

Nothing has done more to separate and divide human beings one from another than exclusivist organized religion.
