fear

it is somewhat intimidating to have a very eager cat waiting for me every morning with a new message for the blog.  probably this is one of the things I am supposed to learn from this... how to trust what I'm getting, that I don't need absolute silence and calm in order to do this, that I'm hearing her correctly under pressure and just write it.  I have a lot on my plate today, but millie is not in the mood to wait.

"much of what you do is motivated or shaped by fear.  fear of social consequences for doing or saying something that other humans might not agree with.  fear of ostracism, of not fitting in.  fear of persecution or harm for speaking truth.  many humans have died for speaking truth.  many humans have killed others for their ideas.  this fear is valid and real.  it is okay to feel fear.


this is a special time.  you can choose not to base your decisions in fear.  you can push through the fear and be yourself in spite of it.  many of you are learning this, or completing your learning of it, in this lifetime.


choose love.   choose the opposite of fear in every moment, every decision, with every choice you make.  be aware of your fear, make friends with it.  know it.  understand when it is pushing you and recognize that feeling.  and be kind to yourself when you move because of the push.  experiment with the idea that fear is not the end of everything, and the end of everything does not lie behind the fear."

wow, that sounds like a heck of an experiment.

thanks, millie.
