Fear is not an adversary that you must defend against. To defend yourself against it is to give it a power it does not have. Fear tries to oppose Love, who is God and All. But because Love is All, fear is nothing. Anything that the ego uses to separate and hurt, God uses to heal and unite. God uses our delusions to help us realize they are not real. This is why, thanks to God’s grace and gift of free will, we can choose to use fear anyway we would like to. When we are asleep to this understanding, we see and use fear as an adversary. When we awaken from the ego’s dream, we can see fear as useful and thus an ally. To those who sleep, fear, in its numerous forms, blocks awareness to the truth within. To those who are awakening, fear offers us lessons in regard to the delusional dualistic nature of this world.
Let us thus not ignore our fears, but instead process and understand them before letting them go. We can then use this life experience to help release others from their own blocks. Feeling fear does not make you a less spiritual person. It is there to simply show you when you are blocking your connection to your all-loving Source. You came here to represent God, Love on Earth. Fear thus can show you what you need to let go of to become who you came here to be. Today, let us thank fear for shining a light into those still dark crevasses within our hearts, minds and lives. Fear is showing us who we are not and thus by process of elimination helping us get a clearer picture of who in truth we are. If fear is helping us awaken to who in truth we are then is it and all of the ego’s programs and tools not our allies? Knowing this would our levels of judgment, confusion, uncertainty and fear not begin to dissolve before our light and understanding.
Within the ego’s fairy tale fear has numerous expressions. But recall that because fear is itself an illusion all of its expressions are equally illusionary in nature, not real or true. They are illusionary in nature because they are not extensions and expression of Love. Because only Love is real, fear’s expressions can not be real nor a real part of us. Fear has numerous expressions such as those of judging oneself or others, anxiousness, anger, resentment and hate. Their ‘reality’ is given to them only by us, by the time, focus and energy we dedicate to them. The more we dedicate our time, focus and energy on them the greater and more real part of our lives they seem to play. The less we place our time, focus and energy on them the less important part of our lives they play. If we completely see them as the illusions that they are and we place none of our time, focus and energy on them they begin to dissolve from our lives. This shows you that by themselves they hold no power. This show you that it is only you and your believe in them that seems to make them real. This shows you that in any moment you can undo what you have done. When we learn to use fear as an ally we allow it to show us what false concepts we are still buying into as real. The more we get to practice seeing the illusionary nature of fear the more we will see we have no use for them. If fear is not real then non of its expression are real.
Understanding this what further use would you ever again have to defend yourself against what is not real? For this reason there is in truth no need to defend yourself against nothing. Nothing is forever nothing. Today, let us make the conscious decision to no longer make nothing into something.
Today, we use fear as an ally. We allow it show us the parts of our minds that are in need of healing. Would it not be proper to show gratitude to an aspect of yourself that is helping you on your road to healing?
The more we are able to face and openly deal with the areas of our lives that are in need of healing the less control and power they will have over us. The less power fear has over us the more peace we will experience. Then we can become an example to others that fear can be overcome and that greater peace of mind and joy are indeed possible. Imagine being able to show others still living in the ego’s dark fearful tunnels a way back to the peace filled light in them. Imagine how much light, how much more peace, joy, forgiveness, compassion and healing you could bring to those who are feeling lost and confused. The torch of truth you are now carrying for others is a function of your whole life experience.
They are in part a function of the fears that you have dealt with, process and overcome. For this alone let us show fear our gratitude and not our condemnation. You yourself have live within these tunnels and that is why others will follow and listen to what you have to say. When they see and hear you they will know that you yourself have been where they are and because you overcame then so too can they. Once you begin to assist other in this nature you will begin to get why you went through what you went through. The lesson plan will then come full circle. When you see this sacred circle peace, joy, understanding, gratitude and awe will begin to fill your heart and mind. Now you will see the useful nature of all your struggles and challenges. Now by healing yourself you helped bring healing to this world.
Today, if fear comes knocking on our mind’s door, let us not despair. Instead let us learn to use fear as an ally in our awakening process. Let us use our fears, not to put self or others down, but to better understand their gift to us. It is by experiencing our fears enough times and long enough that we realize how truly unproductive they are. Once we are able to see them for what they are, they will lose their grip over us. We will simply smile at and gently dismiss their efforts to disrupt our peace of mind. When we get to this sacred place, we will be able to show others how to remove themselves from the ego’s drama. When we help those who are going through what we went through heal, we will see this sacred circle. So today, let us use fear to trigger us to awaken from the ego’s dream and shine our light even brighter for ourself and the world.
All glory to God.
Peace, Health, Happiness, Love, Laughter, and Light.

I understand the benefits and the ability to see the fears we have in our minds as illusionary. Fear is a natural emotion when something threatens our survival, stability and security in the human world. There are real threats in this world. What am I missing? When someone’s child is being taken from them, when someone is assaulted, when a hurricane destroys your house, livelihood and has the possibility of ending your life, how are these natural fears illusionary?
Thank you Elizabeth for being open to the message.
When something threatens our survival, is it really fear that saves you, or is it Love? There may very well be threats to the physical body, but not to your eternal essence, the truth in you.
Notice how our levels of fear increase or decrease depending on our trust in God and in the sacred journey that we have co-designed with Him. The greater our trust the less our fears. The less our trust, the greater our fears. So what if we completed trusted God, would fears have any power over us? If they have no power, are they even real?
So yes, within the dream, the dreamer might see and react to them as real, but once awaken, once a complete union with our Source is made, every step along our path, is seen and understood as having a sacred and higher purpose, one that will always, in some way, shape or form, help lift the consciousness of this world.
When we choose to place our full trust in the Creator of the Universe, we in essence align with the states of peace and joy. Then instead of acting and reacting from a place of fear, we stop, remember the perfect nature of our Creator and design, and then from this place of peace and trust, we act.
Peace. JBC
