&lt;p&gt;      Namaste.

During these accelerated times, one may find the limits of understanding are 
s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d  as one experiences ever-greater spheres of light and energy.

In my experience, this feeling of elongatation, elation, and expanded being often triggers a fear response. It takes great courage to push through the boundaries of perception and explore previously unknown realities.  Our natural fight-or-flight response can literally stop us in our tracks.  The famous philosopher Abraham Maslow illumines this in his quote, "You will either step forward into growth or you will step back into safety." (Source: Motivation &amp; Personality).  

I love a personal training quote I read once, which simply states F.E.A.R  is simply Forgetting Everything is All Right! A momentary lapse so to speak.  For in essence, everything is infinitely expressing and unfolding, within a grand, cosmic dance of divine perfection. 

Within this dimension we call physicality, there appear to be boundaries.  We find ourselves with a body: spirit within a distinct, circumscribed form.  Thus we are each gifted with our own unique identity.  The experiential journey into physicality exposes us to the  influence of gravity, and the related sensation of physical density. Curiously, divine being experiences the time-bounded effects of separation, time, distance, speed, elevation (up), descent (down), withdrawal (in) expression (out) etc. One may conclude that these sensory experiences form our reality. 

Yet, there remains questions.  Do these boundaries actually exist? Is this the extent of our reality? Or is there something more?

Love knows no bounds. In this world, we often hear the expression "falling in love".  Yet the real mystery abides in "rising in love" and in doing thus, transcending fear. My heart tells me that rising in love is the true meaning of our ascention.  At any moment we can choose to rise in love. At any moment we can choose to stare fear in the face, confront it head on, and transform the experience into one that reflects greater love.  It takes great courgage to do just this.  Yet within each moment, the possiblity - the opportunity abides: to take a great conscious leap...  

Sometimes our fear may be intensely exacerbated by our inner woundedness.  Yet when we consciously choose to stop, face our fear, and respond in a way that has us rising in love, something truly remakable happens.  The veils of conditioning dissolve, as the light of soul love soothes stinging hurts, with an energy so beautiful.  Gaping soul wounds are gently healed, leaving me with a peace so profound and deep that it is beyond words. 

Wishing you peace on your journey...

  &lt;/p&gt;
