“In the realm in which you live on the physical plane, there are only two places of being: fear and love. Thoughts rooted in fear will produce one kind of manifestation on the physical plane. Thoughts rooted in love will produce another.
All your holy scriptures– of every religious persuasion and tradition which you have created– contain the clear admonition: fear not. Do you think this is by accident?
The Laws are very simple. 1. Thought is creative. 2. Fear attracts energy. 3. Love is all there is.
Love is the ultimate reality. It is the only. The all. The feeling of love is your experience of God. In highest truth, love is all there is.
Fear is the other end of love. It is the primal polarity. In creating the realm of the relative, I first created the opposite of My Self, fear.
Masters who have walked the planet are those who have discovered the secret of the relative world– and refused to acknowledge its reality.
In short, Masters are those who have chosen only love. In every instance. In every moment. In every circumstance. Even as they were being killed, they loved their murderers. Even as they were being persecuted, they loved their oppressors. It doesn’t matter what the philosophy, it doesn’t matter what the tradition, it doesn’t matter what the religion– it is what every Master has done.”
