We can see the effects of fear throughout the world. It is likely that all of us humans have experienced fear. Where love is, fear cannot be. When we pay attention to the love light that shines within us, fear cannot dominate our thinking. In all of life’s relationships, the most powerful way to be is to be love, to give love, to think love. This means that if someone has caused you harm you are free to stay away from them. Then forgive them, and send them your love energy from a distance. This will help to heal your body, spirit and mind and to bring peace to you and throughout your environment. Do not maintain a grudge or feelings of animosity or thoughts of revenge. The other person does not know what you are thinking and probably does not care. Taking care of yourself and giving love heals the person who hurt you as well as you; indeed, it brings healing to everyone living within this earthly illusion.
