In my morning meditations, often I run up against a mental barrier that I have not quite handled. It is a jarring experience because often we think that we are operating at our highest level of ability and this happens.
The barrier was not as apparent as some other blocks that I've encountered along my MIND-WALKS. As I ran into it, it was like smashing into an invisible wall. I hit it, came to my senses and said... "WHAT IS THIS?"
I asked Spirit to help me understand what this was and where it came from. It seems to have been there for awhile. Spirit asked me a question, as Spirit always does. (Have you ever noticed that Spirit often asks more questions of you then freely extolling answers. Hmph...) Anyway...
Spirit asked, "Whatcha workin' wit? Faith or Fear?"
I did a double take. I had to wonder. I had to reassess. What is this?
I looked over this invisible wall. I touched it. I used all my perceptics to ascertain exactly what this is. I then closed my eyes and sensed the energy that this wall sprang from. IT WAS FEAR.
I had no idea that it was there. It was FEAR. Just sitting there quite and insidious as can be. It wasn't bothering anyone. It was "seeking to devour someone." It was just there, as a wall, a barrier to my forward progression.
All the notions and ideas I had conjured about fear, that it is a MONSTER that can come in mind and destroy ideas, ravage love, kills joy and devour souls. But this FEAR-WALL was something different. It was quiet and patient. It was there keeping me from my promise land. I had no idea fear could look like this.
So after answering Spirit by saying, "This is fear at work." Spirit said, "Tear down that wall." So I raised my consciousness a little higher. I thanked Spirit for the revelation of truth and I proceeded.
I stretched out my hands and I pushed against the wall with all my might. I punched it. I used all my abilities to try to destroy this stupid barrier. Then Spirit asked me, "Whatcha workin' wit? Faith or Fear?"
I had to stop. I realized that fear will never be destroyed by resistance but by Repentance. I realized I had to CHANGE THE WAY I WAS THINKING. I realized I had to shift my THOUGHTS and MY FEELINGS. I got that FAITH was the only destroyer of fear.
"Perfect love casteth out all fear."
So this time. I close my eyes. I put both hands on the wall and I gently began to LOVE IT. Yeah... I LOVED THE WALL. I loved that thing that I feared so much. I loved the person that the wall was attached to. I loved it all.
I then because to UNDER-STAND the nature of the thing. I began to see the TRUTH. I started to harmonize with it and it became CLEAR to me. I got the SUB-STANCE of the thing. That is all FAITH is... the SUB-STANCE or the UNDER-STANDING.
Once this happened... The wall became a brilliant light... almost blinding. Then it eroded away.
"Perfect Love casteth out all Fear."
Tear down that wall in your own consciousness that is keeping you from your ultimate expression.
Thank You Spirit!
