Lesson 48
There is nothing to fear. This states a fact, yet it is not a fact to those who believe in illusions. In truth there is nothing to fear. This is difficult to recognize for those who want illusions to be true. The presence of fear is a sure sign that you are trusting in your own strength. The awareness that there is nothing to fear shows that somewhere in your mind, though not necessarily in a place you recognize as yet, you have remembered God, and let His strength take the place of your weakness. The instant you are willing to do this there is indeed nothing to fear.

The answer to all of these lessons is to go to God, love. It always ends the same way...go to God, trust God, forgo yourself. The "how" is forgiveness under the watchful presence of HS, Jesus.
Even though I know this, it's amazing how much practice i need! Thank you HS for continuing to challenge me!
Sometimes we are so close to the very thing we know so well and need to see, but are blind to it. It's like you need salt, and the salt shaker is right there in front of you, but you can't see it. Sometimes, it takes another to pick up the salt shaker and say, "Here, is this what you were looking for." HS is our helper.
There is nothing to fear. It is such a great statement. I keep repeating to myself the quote from Emmanual's book II very often. I hope that I will hear it one day with my heart:
"What does the voice of fear whisper to you? Fear speaks to you in logic and reason. It assumes the language of love itself. Fear tells you, " I want to make you safe." Love says, "you are safe."
Fear says, "Give me symbols. Give me frozen images. Give me something I can rely on." Loving truth says, "Only give me this moment." Fear would walk you on a narrow path promising to take you where you wnat to go. Love says, "Open your arms and fly with me." Every moment of your life you are offered the opportunity to choose -- love or fear, to tread the earth or to soar the heavens."
An eagle whose flight has been grounded or cancelled altogher is a sad creature.
