We only need to watch the evening news to clearly see much of the pain that exists in our world.  Most of the time we try to distance ourselves from it with thoughts and beliefs of this pain and suffering as having been created by and belonging to others.  We don’t understand and realize that each of us at an individual level is responsible for the creation of the world’s suffering.  Or that on a higher level of being this suffering is divine.

Yet, if we consider that all matter is created from consciousness, the idea that the earth is a live sentient being and that we are part of its body, then this makes sense.  The physical earth, just like our bodies arose out of the consciousness that created it. 

While I’m not so sure if the creation of suffering to the extent that it exists was intended or was created out of chaos, I do believe that we as individuals are responsible for the creation of all of the destructive forces as well as the salvation of these forces as we each contribute feedback within the collective consciousness.

Such a thought may seem overwhelming to most of us, which is probably why many people turn away from the immense problems humanity is faced with.  It’s difficult enough to deal with our own individual problems that arise in our everyday lives.  Yet, if we recognize that everything we do affects everything that exists, then each of us as individuals contributes either continued suffering or salvation from it as we live our daily lives.

Recognizing that we each are joint creators of all that exists in our world and that we each have made the world to be the way it is, is the first step toward any desired transformation.  As with all transformation process we move into the tunnels of darkness in order to emerge through a gateway of light. 

We each as individuals create the darkness to move through and in so doing consciousness not only becomes individualized, it becomes personalized as well.  In this way, then, darkness or suffering can be seen as divine.  Rather than push our individual darkness of suffering away, the transformation process requires us to move through it, to experience it in order to be transformed into the light of love.

Trying to suppress, cover up or turn away from the pain of suffering only serves the status quo.  Transformation cannot take place as long as we choose ignorance regardless of whether or not we do so consciously or unconsciously.  Many times healing comes only after we have experienced the pain of suffering to a great enough extent that we are willing to work through it to find solutions for the relief of it.

Given a choice of feeling pain or feeling pleasure, the great majority of us would choose to feel pleasure.  Why?  It is because we are afraid of feeling pain.  None of us truly desires to feel pain, so we do everything we can to try to keep ourselves from feeling it.  But this doesn’t work. 

At best we are only able to suppress, cover up or ignore the pain for a short period of time until we are faced with it once again.  Our lives become a vicious cycle where we continually wear ourselves out in an attempt to not feel pain and in so doing we only create more pain that we will eventually have to face.  Remember that the transformation process requires us to move through the darkness and this is the way to healing not only the pain within ourselves, but also the pain in the earth herself.

The longings of the human soul have no boundaries when it comes to creating the diversity of the world.  Through this immense variegate among the nations earth becomes alive with wonder and excitement.  It’s like a playground in which we can experience the distinction necessary for individualism, and yet do so without creating the pain and suffering such as we see among nations in the world today.

The creation of nations was never meant to become a battleground.  Cultural diversity was intended for the creation of discernment of duality without becoming completely submerged within it.  However, possibly because of an element of a chaotic nature within consciousness itself, perhaps an unexpected, yet fundamental belief in separation as reality occurred.

It is our concrete belief in separation that beckons us to return to earth time and time again.  This is the current relationship with have with earth and this relationship causes fear, so we come here because we have the desire to dissolve fear.  Yet it is through this fear that needs dissolving that we continue to create more fear because our experience of duality has created cross-purposes within the desires of human consciousness.

These cross-purposes are created when our intentions fueled by our desires are in conflict.  Desire is the origin of all our feelings and actions.  In the human mind exists the desire to heal something of which it is afraid.  The cross-purpose in this is the desire to not feel the pain fear causes.  Since desire is the whole of life brought forth in the receiving of and in the radiating forth the vibrations produced by the law of attraction, consciousness reaches out toward the direction that it feels the most affinity with. 

It is the commonality of all our human fears that are the deeper source of both individual fear and those that create world conflict.  In other words, we all have many of the same fears and it is these fears that have produced all of the problems we see in the world.

We all fear illness, death, loss, poverty and a lack of freedom.  We all also desire to create that which is opposite these – health, immortality, gain, wealth and freedom.  In many ways we have experienced success in our desires and we can continue to do so by understanding the workings of consciousness. 

Yet what many of us fail to understand is that the cross-purpose in creating health for example, is actually the desire to alleviate the fear of illness.  As long as fear is present in consciousness, then consciousness will continue the affinity with it.  If we truly desire health, then we must not fear illness.  It is our fear of illness that keeps drawing us toward the creation of illness.

We all fear that someone will take from us something of value once we have established it in our life.  Yet, the only one that can accomplish this is our self.  For example, if we fear poverty, then our desires arising out of that fear in which we act to prevent personal poverty will contribute to the creation of poverty on the larger world scale. 

We all see this everyday of our lives, as the fear of poverty manifests as greed.  Our personal fear of poverty or that of not having enough also serves to maintain a mass belief in the fear of poverty that results in everyone trying to get more and to keep more for their self.  This greed resulting from having an affinity with the fear of poverty has brought about impoverishment of the world’s resources through a struggle for economic gain.

It is the things that we fear and despise the most that seem to be the easiest for us to create.  This is because there is great power in mass consciousness.  A small system within a greater system is directly connected to and immediately affects the greater system.  In this way, whatever is strongly held in the beliefs of the mass consciousness becomes a governing factor within consciousness as it relates within the law of attraction.  Thus fear serves in the generation of more fear.

Beneath all of the fears imaginable rests a single fear that began the spiraling effect of all our distinguishable fears.  And creations such as that of greed have arisen out of and ultimately rest on the foundation of our deeper original existential fear.  Because of this original and consciously ingrained fear, we all have the desire to feel safe, yet the desire to feel safe arises out of fear and therefore we maintain an affinity with it in the consciousness of mankind.

If we return to the premise that we can experience the distinction necessary for individualism without the creation of fear and it’s resulting consequences, perhaps then, we can begin to create a new consciousness in which we can each release the fears accumulated throughout the ages and thereby transform the earth.

We begin by recognizing how our individual desires are in cross-purposes with each other.  If we each were to make a list of our desires and take these desires into the wisdom of our inner self we would begin to understand that many of our desires are designed to assuage fear and make us feel safe, yet they will never make us feel safe because of their affinity with fear.  Fear begets fear and this always results in adding power to humanity’s creation of negative intent within belief systems.

Rather than add power to the consciousness of fear by affirming it, we can choose to examine our desires to uncover the fear contained within the beliefs surrounding them.  As we recognize our own responsibility in the way we have created the world, we also empower ourselves to change our negative belief systems into those that would project those things we have come to value, such as love, caring, peace, and trust not only within the consciousness of our personal relationship with our self, but also in the consciousness of our immediate relationships, and on to those of world consciousness.

Kathy,

Personal responsibility for the removal of fear and how this relates to all conflict in the world is always a timely subject, so thank you! 

We are all fortunate to have very good teachers here and elsewhere who teach us to release fear and limiting beliefs on what is possible.  I believe that this letting go is a fabulous and enjoyable process!  It leads to GREAT simplicity and appreciation for life itself! 

When we question fears and examine them completely we often find they are groundless or that the best course is to simply move through them deliberately, however difficult.   

Taking that course will often lead us to a more liberated and helpful point of view, for ourselves and others, with which to lead our lives. 

When we have traveled through and out of pain and fear and we wait with an expectant heart, often the best outcome is assured.  This is wondrous and worth the journey!

I think that there are timeless moments in which we can experience "no fear" which is grounded in wisdom and that these are our great moments of illumination.  We can be heroes, each of us, to our selves and in our world.

Perhaps the question is: Can we pay attention to enough of life, can we be aware of enough of life?  The world is full of distraction and illusion as we all know, enough for each of us to stay asleep in suspended "animation" for our entire lives.

When will we wake up?  The world needs for us to ALL be AWAKE!  It is time for the dead to become alive, right now, not on Judgement Day.  We can all be alive right now, together, one world, risen, without fear, speaking out, free and full of love.

Living a life of great and powerful vision is limited only by each of our fears of happiness, joy, peace, love, acceptance, tolerance, truth, hope and endless appreciation.  Why are we afraid of what we truly want?  It is there for us, waiting.  The hands of LIGHT are reaching out to us, each of us, saying "come along, come along, there is nothing to fear."

love, blink

I've wondered about this, too.  After reading Kyo's insights regarding the swinging pendulum on your other thread, I wonder if this is like a progression type of thing where even during our current life we have cycles where we go through periods of time, even years of feeling little of no fear, only to be confronted with it again at a later date.  I certainly see this type of pattern within myself.  It does lead me to ask if it is possible to completely release the fear or heal as I call it during our lifetime or does the pendulum continually swing back and forth and we move through time?

Kyo, I wonder if you would share your thoughts about this.

Love and blessings,
Kathy. 

Dear Kyo,

I will look at these links later today.  I appreciate you taking the time to post.  I always learn so much from you.

Thank you Kyo
