“The world is like a ride at an amusement park…”
Those of us who choose love are not unaware of fear and everything that goes along with it (pain, anger, hate, suffering), we simply choose to realize the truth of unity. We are the same energy, the same particle field giving rise to individuated units of consciousness, the same Spirit.
The ride choosing love is joyful, but not everyone is on that ride. Some chose to experience something else, to accelerate the learning process, to play on hard mode. Neither approach is better or worse than the other. Though mixing the two worldviews may seem like oil and water, they benefit from each other in relationship. It's easy to get so caught up in the realness of the ride and to think our experience is the only experience and everyone else is deceived. This is not correct. Even though my own experience is the only one I can objectively prove is "real", I'm no more real than anything else if we zoom out (or in) far enough.
For those who choose fear, I honor your choice, even if I don't understand it or didn't choose it for myself. That's challenging for me becuase we choose what we think is best overall, but really that's just what is best for us as an individual. Todo es Perfecto.
Also, there's something fun about eating popcorn out of a bowl you created yourself from clay you dug up from your yard, molded, and pit-fired. 🙂
I hope you have a wonder-filled day.
