Learning To Live Without Fear
By Aquarius
What Is Earthly Life? – Part Three
The Rose
Some say love –
It is a river that runs the tender reed,
Some say love –
It is a razor that leaves the soul to bleed,
Some say love –
It is a hunger, an endless aching need.
I say: ‘Love –
It is a flower and we its only seed.’
It’s the heart
Afraid of breaking that never learns to dance;
It’s the dream
Afraid of waking that never takes a chance;
It’s the one
Who won’t be taken that cannot seem to give;
And the soul
Afraid of dying that never learns to live.
When the night has been too lonely,
And the road has been too long;
When you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong;
Just remember in the winter –
Far beneath the bitter snows –
Lies the seed that with the Sun’s love,
In the spring, becomes
The Rose.

Love and evolution are the first laws of life, from which all other laws branch out. The Divine spark in every human being begins its long evolutionary journey in the heart of an earthly personality who has no choice but getting to know itself and the world around it, at the lowest point of the Divine characteristics that are also its own. Love is the flower that, in the course of many lifetimes, grows in every one of us. That’s how every human being evolves, one small step after another. And our ability to give and receive love from being the tiniest of seed spark in our heart it slowly but surely develops into a most beautiful radiant and scented rose.
Every spark of the Universal Christ’s light is pure love. The Great light is constantly drawing everything on the earthly plane into its loving embrace, including every human being. That’s how, with every lifetime we spend on the earthly plane, the spark in our heart absorbs some more of the parent light. Through this every human being’s ability of giving and receiving love slowly but steadily increases in strength.
And what about our fears? Is it possible to get rid of them and live without fear? I believe it is possible, especially our fear of life in general, what the future may hold in store for every one of us and our world, and – most of all – the fear of death. My life has taught me that the best and probably only way of overcoming these fears is through two realisations. The first one is that our own and everybody else’s earthly existence serves the wise and higher purpose of evolving, and that in the course of many lifetimes, into a God or Christed one, each in their own right. The second one is that life in the whole of Creation, therefore also in our world, is subject to the Universal law of cause and effect or Karma. All truly great ideas are simple and this law is simplicity itself. It simply decrees that everything eventually has to find its way back to its source. No matter how long this may sometimes take, like a boomerang everything we send into our world in the end returns to us.
The song of the rose talks about the soul who, because it is afraid of dying, never truly learns to live. That surely applies to the majority of people who at present are taking part in life on the earthly plane. That most certainly has been the case for me. But I am glad to say that my learning has changed my attitude towards life and death profoundly. About a year ago my best friend of sixty-eight years, almost fifty-five of them my husband, departed from this plane, two weeks before his eighty-third birthday. I cannot see spirit, but I sense that he is now closer to me than it ever was possible before. I feel how, because he no longer has to spend lots of time attending to earthly duties, our partnership is growing stronger day by day, much more than ever before. Working hand in hand with God and the Angels, makes the power of our love invincible.
Somehow I have never felt sad about his departure, merely glad that he is no longer suffering, that he is alive and well and that when he’s rested sufficiently, he will make the most of the spirit realm’s greater freedom. Oh yes, I miss hearing his voice and feeling his touch. I don’t know whether this makes any sense to you, but at last we can love each other the way we always wanted to, without the foibles and idiosyncrasies of our earthly personalities getting in the way. We shall return to this theme later. My husband was a double Capricorn because he was born on an 8th January. Capricorn is ruled by Saturn and there’s always a coldness wherever the Saturnian energies touch our lives. We cannot do anything about that and I am glad to report that my husband has left it behind and that both of us are glad about it.
The main reason for updating this part of my writings, is the experience of my loved one’s physical body going from me. Since his physical body left the earthly plane our spirit/souls have joined forces and together we are stronger than ever before. It’s good to know that my husband, as well as any other loved ones who went before him, are by no means dead. All of them are alive and well, enjoying the freedom of a different dimension of life without constantly having to attend to the needs of a delicate and sensitive physical body. What a relief that must be! Apart from that, all my loved ones and most of all my husband are supporting me and everything I do from the other side of the veil that separates our two worlds, much better than they could ever do while they were still on this side.
I am not ashamed to admit that I have always been a very fearful person. One of the Grimm’s fairytales is about someone who knew no fear and went into the world for learning how to be afraid. It has been the other way round with me. I am the one who went into the world searching for ways of overcoming my fears. An essential part of the process of overcoming my own fears, especially the fear of death, has been sharing my learning with those around me, in the hope it will help them to overcome theirs. My own life has taught me that it can only come about through first of all finding out that in truth there is no death, only a moving on into a different dimension of life. The essence of our being is spirit/soul. They are eternal and immortal, like God. That’s why they will and can never die.
For the majority of people who are presently taking part in life on the earthly plane, the present lifetime is meant to wind up as a healing journey where many wondrous discoveries are waiting to be made. The next step is learning as much as possible about the processes of life, in which every one of us has always constantly been taking part, without for a long time being unaware of what’s happening to us. To my mind, understanding is the key every one of us needs to unlock their most secret inner doors. The only way of overcoming our fears, one by one, is through loving the person we once were, who really thought that those beliefs had literally been true.
Having come a long way on our evolutionary journey since then, helps us to realise that the most of our fears are because of the memories that were probably stored in our soul a long time ago. From where we are now it’s not hard to realise that they were false beliefs, superstitions and prejudices. Their memories we brought with us into every lifetime since the. In each one we hoped that eventually we would be able to get to the root of our fears, that is would be possible to overcome and leave them behind, once and for all. Hallelujah! That time is NOW!
Sharon Maas writes in ‘Of Marriageable Age’: ‘You cannot hide from death; you can only reach down inside yourself to find the strength to help you face it.’ How very true! Alas, when at first we reach within ourselves, there seems to be nothing there but fear. And that’s where we are meant to find God? This immediately raises the equally frightening question of: ‘Who or what is God?’ A vicious circle, if there ever was one. If, during this lifetime and even in previous ones, we followed one of our world’s religions, we are likely to have been brainwashed into believing that, when we die, we are going to God. And because we have no idea of God’s true nature and what awaits us when we depart from this plane, naturally we are terrified of letting go whenever the moment for doing so has come.
Fortunately, the deeper we are moving into the age of truth, the more people are finding out that everything in the whole of Creation is of God and part of God, including they themselves and everybody else. We ourselves are God and in truth, it’s one of the Angels of Death who calls for us at the end of our earthly lifetimes and takes us home into the spirit realm, humankind’s true home. Even though the spirit world is invisible to earthly eyes, that’s the place from which all of us emerge at the beginning of every new earthly lifetime and return to when it has run its course. The age of truth is showing us that there really is nothing to be afraid of.
