"The Seduction of Fear"

What you seek is within yourself and what you fear is outside of yourself. As I have said before there are no safe places, only safe people. To stay out of the snares of fear, you must rely on your faith and your positive outlook. When fear steps into your life, it seduces you so that you become immobile. The only way to rid yourself of fear then is to act in a positive way and take action. Do what you must do to feel safe and secure. Pray about what that may be and then rely on your instincts and intuitive impulses in regard to the answers you seek.
There have always been predictions of doom for mankind because there is much fear felt within the many souls on this planet. Those who do not have faith in their God and in themselves will feel the pain of fear. As you begin to trust yourself and your God, that pain will lessen and hopefully move on and out of your life. Then you can replace it with positive action and loving thoughts. Do not allow the seduction of fear to take over your life. Face it and do what you must do to overcome it's ugly fangs.
You have much to be grateful for so it would be wise to keep your mind on what is good in your life now and the future will take care of itself. Do the things you need to do to nurture faith in yourself , your loved ones and your future. You can nurture yourself by getting back to reading positive books, by praying, by canceling all negative thoughts that come into your mind and by being helpful to others. You can nurture your loved ones by be supportive of them, loving towards them and caring at all times. You can nurture your future by preparing your mind because it is your mind that brings events into your awareness. Your mind is what creates your reality. Your mind is what gives you peace or fear. So.....the most important aspect of yourself in the physical is to have a positive outlook on the events that come into your life and into your awareness.
You have already started to prepare for your future, but do not prepare for disaster. Prepare for a wonderful, secure and peaceful existence. If you do, it will come into your reality. Remember, there are no safe places, only safe people. You can be one of those safe people if you choose to be.
As for the events of September 11th and all that has transpired since, we have no way of knowing what the outcome will be for any individual. Each person will experience what they bring into their existence by what they allow themselves to think, by what they communicate to others, and by what ever actions they take. Remember, there have been positive experiences that have developed from this one major negative event. Our country has pulled together, our patriotism has blossomed, we have begun our real fight against terrorism and many of our personal values have changed for the better.
You were put on this planet to experience all the aspects of life in the physical. It was your choice to come and it is your choice on how you experience it. Remember, your free will is the determining factor in all that you say and do. So, you have the power within to be peaceful or fearful. It continues to be your choice alone. So, I vote for serenity, don't you? As for the others in your life, do what you can to support them, but they must make their own decisions on what they choose to believe in and experience. It is not your responsibility to take care of them or the world. But, it is your responsibility to take care of yourself. And that, my dear, is done by having a positive and healthy outlook on life! If each and every person chose to look at life from that perspective, we could all experience a peaceful world.
No matter what happens outside yourself, the sun will still come up, the rain will still fall, the flowers will still grow, babies will still be born and all life will move on. You can choose to partake of the beauty of your existence or not. So get on that airplane, go shopping at the biggest mall, visit New York City or anyplace else you wish to experience , love your family and your friends, help those in need, show your love, your compassion and your caring heart to others. Override the seduction of fear! These next weeks, months and years will give you many opportunities to do just that. You will get to know who you really are within and what you are really made of. You will find the strength, the power and the spirit you possess. After all, you are really a wonderful soul having a human experience and that is the way it should be.
I leave you now and send you love, peace and happiness! Received in meditation by Janet Averill
