Fear Not

I’ve sat with many as they’ve approached death. People say revealing things. I’m surprised how many doubt their worth and fear their creator. Sadly, their fears often come from religion. 

I view the Gods as spiritual parents. No child of any age should be made to fear their loving parents. If someone tries to make me doubt my divine origin or destiny, or to fear my Creators, I reject their message. Benevolent souls don’t wield fear like a club. Fear and shame are the lowest forms of influence.

Fear is not the path.

If you’re religious and believe the Bible, remember that a voice from heaven told Abraham (Gen. 15:1), Hagar (Gen. 21:17), Isaac (Gen. 26:24), Jacob (Gen. 46:3), Moses (Ex. 3:12), Joshua (Josh. 8:1), Daniel (Dan. 10:12), Zacharias (Lk. 1:13), Mary (Lk. 1:30), and all of Israel (Deut. 1:21), “Fear not.” As Paul proclaimed, “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind” (1 Tim. 1:7).

You have never not been good enough to return Home or to be in the presence of your Divine Progenitors. Let go of fear—fear of others, fear of God, and fear of embracing your divine self.
