Love and Fear
Out there there is a world starving for new ideas, new leadership. I have been out there for thirty years. It can be rough out there but that is ok. Fear is going to be a player in your life but you get to decide how much. You can spend your whole life imagining ghosts worrying about the pathway to the future, but all that will ever be is what is happening right here. In decisions we make in this moment which are based on either love or fear. So many of us choose our path out of fear disguised as practicality. What we want seems impossibly out of reach and ridiculous to expect so we never dared to ask the universe for it. I am saying I am the proof that you can ask the universe for it.
Life does not happen to you, it happens for you. How do I know this? I don’t but I am making it soud that it is the important thing. Sometimes I feel that it is the only thing we are supposed to do here. Just reminding us that we are here. That we are part of a larger self.
I learned many lessons from ma father not the least of which that you can fail at what you don’t want so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love. When I was about 28 I realized one night in LA that the purpose of my life was always to free people from concerns. The effect you have on other is the most valuable currency there is.
Everything you gain in life will rot and fall apart and all that will be left of you is what was in your heart.
Like many of you I was concerned going out to the world and doing something bigger than myself. Until someone smarter than myself made me realized that there is nothing bigger than myself. My soul is not contained withing the limits of my body. My body is contained within the limitlessness of my soul.
Who are you
I used to think that Jim Carrey is all that I was. A great nothing mascaraing as something you can name. I used to think that who I was ended at the edge of my skin. That I have been given this vehicle called a body.
To find a real peace you have to let the armor go. Risk being seen in all of your glory. We are not the avatars we create.
Love and fear – what is real
There is a huge difference between a dog between a dog that is going to eat you in your mind and an actual dog that is going to eat you. That may sond like no big deal but many never learn the distinction. And they spend great deal of their life living in flight and fight response.
Our eyes are not viewers, they are also projectors that are running a second story over the picture that we see in front of us all the time. Fear is writing that script and the working title is “I will never be enough.
Your ego
No matter what you gain the ego will not let you rest. It will tell you that you cannot stop until you have left indelible mark on earth. So I just want you to relax. That is my job. Relax.
Let the door open
As far as I can tell it’s about letting the universe know what you want and working toward it while letting go of how it comes to pass. Your job is not figuring you how is gonna happen for you but to open the door in your head and when the door opens in the real life you just walk through it.
I don’t believe in hope. Hope is a beggar. Hope walks through the fire and hope leaps through it. You are ready and able to do beautiful things in this world and when you walk through the doer today you will ever have two choices: love or fear. Choose love and don’t ever let fear turn you against your playful heart.
