It is not a question that all will be well. All is well right now. You may feel this is not so. You may tremble, yet, across the board, despite your anxiety, all is well now. I speak of Reality and not your perception. Nothing can happen that is dire. You are under My care. Under My care, death cannot touch you. Under My care, there is no death.
 
You may be the most frightened person in the world, and yet fear cannot touch you. You can tremble and shake, yet fear cannot touch you. You can imagine direness, yet nothing can interrupt your life. Life is a continuum. There are no breaks from life.
 
The world says differently. You say differently.
 
You have embarked on a voyage, and there is no going back. You have set sail for this experience of life, and experience you do. You may feel land-locked even as you sail on the Open Sea. What you feel and what are may well be two different things. You make a contrast.
 
Despite your perception, there is no tragedy in life. Death is not a tragedy, nor is life a tragedy. Tragedy exists only in the mind, and the mind is often wayward. The mind has a life of its own. Sometimes your mind is simply blithering. There is much in life and in death that transcends the limits of your mind. Your mind can carry on all it wants, yet that does not make your mind correct in its pronouncements. You can scream and rail about nothing that is true, only true-seeming to you.
 

Listen to Me. There is nothing to worry about. You can stop worrying right now. Half the time, you don’t even know what you are worrying about. You feel something unidentifiable hanging over you, and you worry about a vagueness. Worry assails you. And if you did not worry, you might worry about not worrying. What is worry all about anyway?
 
Worry has been such a hanger-on with you. You don’t know how to deal with its consultations and the anxiety it stirs within you. Be done with anxiety. What would you have to worry about then?
 
Worry with a focus also preoccupies you, as though worry is a safety measure that will offer you dispensation from cause for worry, and so you worry without cause. You can always scrimmage around for a worry.
 
Let’s face it. You have become expert at worry. You have become a professional worrier. Be less practiced in the art of worry. Be a novice. Better yet, don’t worry at all.
 
Worry holds you back. You teeter and totter with worry. You abuse yourself with worry. Worry brings you more and more and better worries. I ask you to desist from worry. You don’t need worry to pass the time. Get out of the worry mode.
 
If cause for worry befalls, it befalls. You don’t have to nourish it along. You are not here on Earth for the sake of worrying. Rather, you are here for a purpose that goes far beyond the reach of worry.
 

What is meaningful to you? This is what you follow. This is what it means to follow your heart. You want to follow your deepest heart. Surface desires are one thing. Deep desires are another. And, then, you have to know, there are desires you follow that you are not yet conscious of. You have dreams that you don’t even know you have. Deep dreams as well as surface ones.
 
You may not have known you wanted Me, were seeking Me, and, suddenly, here I am, and you know instantly. You don’t understand how you didn’t know. Now you are astounded.
 
By whatever name I may go by in your town, you have been seeking Me which is the same as to say that you have been seeking yourself. You have wanted to become acquainted with yourself all this time, all the time you floundered. All the time you thought you were seeking something else, you were seeking Me. You have always been a seeker. You may have been a vague seeker, yet a seeker just the same.
 
And as much as you deliberately or haphazardly sought Me, now that you have found Me, you seek more and more of Me, and there is more and more of Me to be found. Your seeking stretches out into Infinity. If We, you and I, were two horses, We would be flying as One, neck and neck, flying over the concrete world, flying with the ease of angels, welcomed on every surface, the moon, the stars, in the innerness of the sun, and in the air and in the consciousness of the world.
 

It is not for you to look for life to be an equal-opportunity employer. It is not for you to put your attention on everything being justified in life. You do not keep score, beloved. It is not for you to conjure up what you think is fair or what you think is unfair. Life isn’t like that. Fair is not a question that life asks. Life does not play a game of Even Steven. Life is more like a mountain range. It has peaks, and it has valleys. Someone who is on the uppermost peak of the mountain range and someone who, from the world’s viewpoint, is at the lowest valley can have equal happiness. That is their call. You grasp this. A wealthy man may or may not be as happy as a poor man. Happiness depends on more than the external picture of life. Of course, it does.
 
In whatever ways life serves you, you can be happy or unhappy.
 
Here is where coveting and envy come in. If you think you cannot be happy without a dishwasher, you are sadly mistaken. If you think you can’t be happy without a husband or wife, you are sadly mistaken. If you think happiness demands that you have all your desires fulfilled, you are sadly mistaken. This is not to say that having a dishwasher or a mate or anything else cannot give you happiness, yet happiness is not truly dependent upon the fulfillment of your desires.
 

In the world, sometimes when love is proclaimed, it may lose its sparkle. You have longed for the moment of betrothal, and, then, when the moment comes, when your love is proclaimed, a wedding date set, details to take care of, a little of the tinsel of romance may become ordinary. No longer do you feel like you are dancing on the stars. No, you are relegated to ordinariness. You are just an engaged couple now and rather fair game to the crowd. When you wed, rice and flower petals may be thrown at you. You are relegated to Earth and perhaps a performance rather than spontaneity. You would rather dance on the stars than to comply to what is expected of you. It was one thing to smile for joy with the love that welled up in you, and another to smile on occasions that call for it. Instead of spontaneity, you may feel ordered by a movie director, for now you come on stage on cue.
 
You may love your affianced deeply and truly, yet you feel a certain veneer and stiffness of performance as the world watches on the sidelines. You may want to dance a dance you prefer, but feel obliged to dance a dance that is called appropriate. You may feel appropriated. Life in the world gives you certain steps to follow, and you follow. Here, you are smiling away, even when your feet hurt. Society certainly has its influence on you.
