Thank you very much dear fear-based ego. I understand that you feel the expansion that is underway in the overall energy and in the life of the one called Ted. I know how frightening this must be for you. When Ted was ruled by fear, you could weave your seductive webs without feeling threatened. Now the accelerated wave of energy is breaking upon you like a tsunami, and you are like a spider who sees the long shadow of the broom that is about to fall upon him. So you send out your scarcely conscious wails before you, and as much as Ted says he does not believe you, the faithful body records your message. It's airway narrows and it becomes afraid.
But you will not win. You see the one called Ted has learned a few things. He has learned not to run from you or to magnify you, but to simply see you for what you are. And he has learned to affirm that part of himself which feels most real. The part that did not come here to cower in fear, but to create and to share, to celebrate and to laugh, to enjoy the camaraderie of true soul friends, and to serve the calling of the Divine Energy which he (and you) are made of.
So he will stand his ground amid the storm and continue to thank you. He will thank you as your gales lash his face. He will thank you when the body's cries are overwhelming and all seems lost. Because he knows that you are an errant child who will soon cry himself to sleep.
But the One that his is made of is forever blessed.
