| BkII:10.III.1 | Before moving on it is essential that we remember that the fear of which we speak—the opposite of love—has nothing to do with practical fears. We use this expression, “practical fears,” to differentiate the feeling of fear that occurs when, for example, you seem likely to be struck by a fast-moving car. That is not the fear of which we speak. We are not asking you to fight against that natural feeling of protection that comes from the divine memory of being. Every being seeks permanence and you are not an exception. The urge to preserve life is part of the truth of who you are. |
