| BkII:10.I.6 | About two thousand years ago you were told that if you were afraid, then you had not reached the fullness of love. This is true. Love and fear cannot coexist just as water and oil cannot come together. Coming together means union, or joining with. You cannot live with fear and with love simultaneously. It does not matter if one is illusory or not. For the purposes of what you experience, as long as you continue to believe that fear has some effect, you will believe it is real. And since your faith moves mountains, if you believe that fear has done anything, then you continue to give power to fear. Giving value to fear, believing that fear can produce some effect and therefore have some real power, prevents you from releasing it completely. |
