How did it happen?

It seems to me that the message of this letter is about letting go of our fear. We don’t need it and we should let go of it. And we are re-assured that if we could only appreciate the reality of God being “arm in arm” with us every day, we would have no reason for fear. A beautiful letter and a delightful message. The comments, though, seem mostly to have diverted off to the question of why fear is part our experience in the first place. To me, this is a hot issue and I relate well to this question. The comments are fascinating in their handling of it.

As the comments point out, our fears arise out of our perception of separation from our Source. How did we lose our contact and does the loss have a purpose? Was it a conscious plan or an innocent blunder? Or perhaps we consciously “pulled the plug,” as Jochen describes it, and we got lost as a result, and are having difficulty finding our way back? Are we indeed breaking new ground here on this earth in this land of separation and is this our purpose in the first place?

These kinds of questions are at least 3,000 years old and probably much, much older. I mention 3,000 years since they obviously were a vital topic of the Hindu Sages that composed the Upanishads. As I am discovering, many answers were considered to these questions and it seems that many of the various paths to reunion, as have developed within Hinduism, are different ways to seek to bring about this re-unification.

I will keep my eyes and ears alert for more of God’s input in answering these questions. I suspect His answers would be quite fascinating if He gave us a specific treatment of this topic. Or maybe He would answer: “Why does this concern you?”

Love and hugs to all........Chuck
