Love is Letting Go of Fear >>> Continued

First off, I wish to apologize for the delay in this posting, as my internet was down. I am writing this and hoping to post as soon as my service is restored. Well now that I’ve explained the delay, let’s proceed with the continuation of this segment.


In this day and age we are bombarded in our society with seemingly endless pursuits, we juggle goals of home, office, health, sexuality, travel, peace of mind, spirituality, love, style and the list goes on and on. Is it any wonder that some of these never seem to end or get where we wish they were and that in all this we rarely find happiness and if we happen to it is only fleeting. Juggling all these concerns/goals only deflect, confuse and create inner conflict. Wouldn’t it be great if we could just concentrate on one such goal that would potentially let others simply fall into place and some even not be a concern at all. If this could be, would it not be so much easier. To have such singleness of purpose. Well there is one that if you make it your singleness of purpose most of the others will fall into place and others on your list would be of no concern. This single goal is Peace of Mind, for without peace of mind what can you really have.


Now that we have decided to make Peace of Mind our sole goal or singleness of purpose, our primary function becomes forgiveness. To forgive is to let go, this is the means of realigning our distorted perceptions as well as the vehicle for letting go of our fears. As such we must understand that we forgive for ourselves not for others, it is in forgiving that we are healed. Forgiveness does not mean that we condone the behaviour, we just let go .


The first step in this rededication to ourselves through our single goal of peace of mind is to establish that goal we must see ourselves first and foremost, not in selfishness but as self-fullness or perhaps more aptly as self-first, for how can I be of any help to anyone if I am incapable of helping myself. Once we establish and embrace this concept, we then move on to forgiveness.


Many of us have been thwarted in similar attempts, usually because we had as the first step loving others. Yet with distorted perceptions, past values and experiences many people just plainly seemed unlovable. When in reality it was our distorted perceptions that made them appear unlovable. Instead of seeing their behaviour as a result of deeply held pain, deeply held fears, lack of love and/or distress of some sort. However if we see peace of mind as initial step and forgiveness as the second step then with this new perception it then becomes easier for us to give total love and acceptance to others, thus creating peace of mind. Always remembering other people do not have to change for us to have peace of mind.
