QUESTION:

How do I lose the sense of fear and despair surrounding a problem that seems to be overwhelming?


ANSWER:

Remember that ALL fear, despair, belief that someone or some condition is lacking in its perfection and harmony in all ways is the "product" of a SENSE OF SEPARATION FROM GOD, ONENESS, OMNIPRESENCE. It is a sense (belief) that being, and condition of being, is corporeal not incorporeal.

Rest therefore in the awareness of God, Infinity being Incorporeal Being, that Incorporeality being Omnipresence and therefore Omnipresent AS each aspect of Itself; AS each individual expression of Itself, just as gravity is, mathematics is, aerodynamics is... any and every principle is.

We cannot realize incorporeality, oneness with and as God, by churning out this Truth in the mind alone. "Man does not live by bread alone..." We use the mind to think in the way we are doing now - to remember, to ponder THE TRUTH OF ONENESS, OF INCORPOREAL THEREFORE COMPLETE AND FULFILLED BEING rather than corporeal and incomplete being - but then we have to let the feeling of the happening of God within permeate us... "by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God" - which means the feeling of Spirit welling-up within, permeating, flooding, saturating us.

As we feel the happening of God, Oneness ("the Word") within it melts the erroneous sense of separateness from Wholeness, and we are free "for this hour". We feel that actually, all is okay. There is hope rather than despair. Truth is somewhat realized at this moment. We are no longer fearful. We feel confident that Truth is Real and that the problem can be witnessed as healed.

But then, as the next hour continues, we feel that sense of fear and despair creeping up again. This is the sense of separateness creeping over us again. And why? We have allowed our mind to engage in the material appearance. We have become embroiled again in the mental, physical or material sense. We have forgotten about God, or at least, we have allowed our consciousness to be filled with "human' experience rather than keeping it filled with Truth, Oneness, Incorporeality.

So we remember Truth again, we ponder, we contemplate, we fill our mind with the truth of Oneness, Spirit, Completeness, Perfection, Omnipresence, and again, within a few minutes or so, we feel the blissful relief of spiritual sense welling up within, and once more we have freed ourselves of fear and despair.

One more thing: realize that EVERY MINUTE of actual God awareness - the feeling of spirit welling up within, and the resting in and as It, resulting in the actual dissolving of the sense of fear and despair for Oneness and Wholeness - IS BREAKING THE MESMERIC ILLUSION OF DISEASE, DISCORD, DISHARMONY, LACK, LIMITATION.

The secret is to KEEP ON KEEPING ON in the way described above. Never, never, NEVER allow untruth to convince you it is truth. NO DISCORD OR DISHARMONY no matter what it's category or nature or urgency or even convincing impossibility, when it seems so overwhelming that giving up seems to be the only option, is true.ONLY TRUTH IS TRUE. ONLY THE FULLNESS OF COMPLETENESS AND PERFECTION IN EVERY WAY, HERE AND NOW, OF EVERY BEING WITHOUT EXCEPTION IS TRUE.

Therefore BREAK the illusion of untruth. This is our work - not to "make Truth true" (it is already True!!, already fully Manifest, Tangible to the Touch, Visible to the Eye) but to bring ourselves, by thinking about, pondering, contemplating THE TRUTH OF ONENESS, INCORPOREAL BEING, OMNIPRESENCE AS THE I THAT I AM and then to LET THE TRUTH THAT IS well-up within as a FEELING that gives us the experience of RELIEF and RELEASE from all that is not true.
