I am all about being Love, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have fears. I was thinking this morning about the move to California that we are manifesting, and I felt some doubt. Trying to realign myself with Love, to release that doubt, I heard the words, “What is not Love, is fear” in my head. Forgetting about the doubt I had been feeling attached to our move, I began thinking about those words. I saw the word “LOVE” in my head. It was huge… gigantic letters, all in capitals, filling my vision. Surrounding the word “LOVE”, in tiny little letters, were words associated with fear: anger, resentment, doubt, defiance, etc. All of those are fear. Why did we need to create those words? Why couldn’t we just stick with “fear?” I mean, it says it all, doesn’t it? Because truly, if it is not Love, it is fear!

Seeing this vision, it made me realize just how BIG Love is, and how SMALL fear is. I could easily just reach my fingers up into that vision and flick each tiny fear away. Do you think it’s that easy? I think it is! I know one thing… it’s a visualization I’ll definitely use in the future to help release fear as it tries to squeeze into my head.

As I was thinking about all of this, I got on the net and googled, “what is not love, is fear.” The first site I clicked on said “Unconditional Love,” and it shared something that really made sense to me:

“If we have a view of love that has ’strings attached’, then it is ’small l’ love and is, in fact, nothing to do with real Love. It is, rather, just fear in some clever disguise. If someone says “I will love you if…”, they are attempting to control the situation by threatening to withhold that which is offered as love. Through eons of programming, we easily fall for this trick and more often than not, give in to the limiting situation that this threat offers. But if we were to ‘remember’ what actual Love was, we would be as bewildered by receiving such a threat as we would be in making it. Love simply is. It cannot be apportioned, or even denied. All we can attempt to do is momentarily block its flow. The secret to understanding the difference is in attaining the realization that Love never has conditions and that “love” ALWAYS has. Again, anything with conditions is fear… and fear is nothing but the perceived lack of Love.”

Wow. I’d never thought of it that way! Big L, little l. Pretty cool, huh? I thought so, too, that’s why I’m sharing it with you. I’m pretty sure that for the rest of my life, everytime that I say, feel, or think the word “Love,” I will be seeing that big L. :)
