Our mistaken identities form around the things of this world that we have chosen to identify with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cI am light. I am light.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Holy Child of God is my truth. From this place (of open heart, feeling Love\u2019s flow) I can now understand the foolishness of our fears that the lesson points out. Parts of my mind activate to protect a temporary me, a fragile false self, built from fearful thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cI am light. I am light.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beauty within, given by God, has been hidden for too long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fear is an effect of my identification with form, so it is a deception of my true Self.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8-28-2023<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cLet us not be deceived today. We are the Sons (Children) of God.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fear is not justified, but it comes. We can know certain troubling experience will come into our lives. We can have the tools to handle them. We can do our lessons to reinforce God\u2019s support in lives. But still we fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think it takes the growth of trust in God. I continue to spend time with the description of trust in <em>the Manual for Teachers<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cThe teachers of God have trust in the world, because they have learned it is not governed by the laws the world made up. It is governed by a power that is in them but not of them.\u201d <\/em>~ M.4.I.1,4-5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dear Lord, I request this trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cFear \u2013 in you or anyone \u2013 is a call home to Love.\u201d<\/em> ~ Hollie Holden<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8-28-2022<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;Fear is deception. It attests that you have seen yourself as you could never be, and therefore look upon a world which is impossible. Not one thing in this world is true. It does not matter what the form in which it may appear. It witnesses but to your own illusions of yourself.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So there is never a good reason to be fearful?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ok, so were all eternal beings so we shouldn\u2019t fear death for ourselves or our loved ones. But I still have compassion for the body. Its a blessing as a sacred gift from life; it has its own intelligence, it feels [But it is a tool to serve and then return to the planet.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such a wonderful gift, I love and appreciate it. We fear losing what we love. If I love something of the physical realm, how to resolve fear of its loss?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[What can you love that cannot be returned to you? Your body? The DNA blueprint is of your light. Your pets, flowers, trees are of spirit so can always come to you.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What about my home or other place?
