FEAR Is Nonacceptance of What Is
“Fear finds various escapes. The common variety is identification with country, with society, with an idea. Haven’t you noticed how you respond when you see a procession, a military procession or a religious procession, or when the country is in danger of being invaded? You then identify yourself with the country, with a being, with an ideology. There are other times when you identify yourself with your child, with your husband or wife, with a particular form of action, or inaction. Identification is a process of forgetfulness. So long as I am conscious of the “me” I know there is pain, there is struggle, there is constant fear. But if I can identify myself with something greater, with something worthwhile, with beauty, with life, with truth, with belief, with knowledge, at least temporarily, there is an escape from the “me”, is there not? If I talk about “my country” I forget myself temporarily, do I not? If I can say something about God, I forget myself. If I can identify myself with my family, with a group, with a particular party, with a certain ideology, then there is a temporary escape.
Do we now know what fear is? Is it not the non-acceptance of what is? We must understand the word acceptance. I am not using that word as meaning the effort made to accept. There is no question of accepting when I perceive what is. When I do not see clearly what is, then I bring in the process of acceptance. Therefore, fear is the nonacceptance of what is.” an excerpt from “The Book of Life” by J. Krishnamurti
Ok, this is where I’m at in the moment. I’m wondering what all the beautiful people in this world are up to? I’m absorbing some very strange energies of division. Knowing that we must rise above the division, also knowing that there is really no such thing as division and doing my best to figure out how best to help heal the divide.
For the love of humanity, let’s get in touch with our true selves, our core, it’s time to rise above the division and exude the divine!
Sending “Good Vibrations” to all…
