as I suggested in an earlier post<\/a>, it can cause us to forget everything and run. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I find it helps to remember that there is fear-based fear and love-based fear just as there is fear-based love and love-based love. When we avoid being hit by a car by moving out of its path, that is love-based fear. However, when we avoid intimacy or don’t allow ourselves to be surrounded by fear because we are afraid of being hurt, that is an example of fear-based fear.<\/p>\n
Fear often stops us from being loving and experiencing love. Being fearless allows us to love in a much less conditional manner. Just for today, or at least for a short while, notice your fear. Play with your fear rather than being overwhelmed <\/span>by it. Remember fear causes us to forget the truth, that we are all one with god and that the only thing that is real is love, everything else is an illusion. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n
With love and aloha,
