Fear of Losing What We Have
Seeing Beyond Fearful Delusions


The letters of the word "fear" can be used to stand for
"False Evidence Appearing Real." Fears of being separated from
something or someone we feel we need for our security or happiness
comes from a delusion—a distorted way of understanding ourselves
and the world around us. When we understand that possessions are
only representations of the energy at work in our lives, we can shift our attention to the right and proper place.

We can stop fearing loss of money or success because when we
understand how it is created, we can always create more.

We can stop fearing loss of possessions when we realize that they are not the source of our joy or well-being but only icing on our cakes.
And when we understand the energy of love, we need not hold
anyone too close for fear of losing them for we know that love does not diminish when it is given or shared but expands beyond boundaries of time or space.
By focusing our light on our fears, they are revealed as mere shadows that disappear in the presence of mind and spirit. We can choose instead to direct our thoughts and creative power toward things of true value—love, abundance, peace, service, and joy. These are energies that are always available to us when we place ourselves confidently in the universal flow of abundance.

Watered down maybe, but newcomers to recovery might find it a little easier to read without the G word in it. Thanks for sharing this Miss C!
