There is only one reason why we become emotionally negative, let alone surrender ourselves to embrace its dark and debilitating embrace: We have forgotten that we have a choice as to what we love, and whose company we keep, accordingly.

Part 1 Just as Great Nature knows exactly what to do with the life of each of its creatures -- in order to help perfect that unique expression of Her Being -- so does Divine Love know exactly what to do with us... If only we would learn how to ask for, and then reach out for its Supernal Light. Part 2 Nothing true and timelessly Good has ever taken root and flowered in this world t...

The reason perfect love casts out fear is because any unwanted condition willingly embraced loses its power over us.

Topics covered:  Most of us don't know anything at all about our obsessions. When a person is obsessed with something, he or she sees it as natural and necessary; Life is intended to be simple. Everything that is perceived as being difficult is, in reality, simple for the level of understanding that sees from a higher perspective; The Kingdom of Heaven is within.
