“All that is meant to be, will flourish.” I tell myself—this has been my energy. When we find a state of flow in our being, we no longer walk our paths, but embody them. Who we are aligns with the energy we emit into the universe. As my actions root in unconditional love, clarity blossoms in my vision.
I spend most of my time reading these days, usually bouncing between 2-3 books at a time. This week, I read Aldous Huxley’s, “Brave New World”, a book first published in 1932. The setting is a futuristic Utopian civilization, where the people worship Henry Ford and the assembly line. The book is far-fetched but raises plenty of concerning thoughts about the world we live in today. The book highlights loss of individualism and ability to think for one’s self. Everyone is conditioned to appreciate their placement in the social caste system and happiness is measured in social stability.
Books, art, history, and God are taken from the people in any totalitarian style government. Still people ask me why I am a writer—why my dream is to write books in a time when nobody reads. This never discourages me, but raises awareness to how easily a large percentage of the population would forfeit literature and art. This creates urgency behind my message and purpose as a writer. Following the crowd will lead you off the cliff every time. We have seen first-hand how easily the media controls the masses.
Reading allows us to exercise our minds and shift our perspectives. Reading allows us to free ourselves of conditioning in imagination and awareness, both ours and the authors’. Reading allows us to see deeper into the truth of who we are and why we are here.
Huxley brought me face to face with my deepest fears—not in the outer world, but within myself. A total loss of freedom, down to the base ability to think—and yet a perceived, false happiness. I became grateful for my ability to become conscious. In Brave New World, there was no love, no connection, no families—sexual intercourse, a mere distraction from their reality. Everyone must play their role on the assembly line of society and numb the pain with soma, the fictional drug with no downsides, to escape their lives for hours or days at a time.
In the mental vibration of unconditional love, my fears began to show themselves, one-by-one and dissolve away. I claimed most of my life not to be afraid of anything. The truth is that I was never afraid of snakes or heights or death, or the things other people talked about fearing. My fears hid deep in a corner of my being where words had yet to reach. Now, in the state of love I put words to my fears and watch them turn into nothing.
Only in unconditional love is it possible to be unafraid. My greatest fear is to lose my individual liberty (which easily fed my ego). As I shed my ego, I see the intricate weaving of this fear through my life and actions. The self-sabotage, in a way it proved that I was still at the wheel—but how far from the truth it was. The liberty I chose was to forfeit my consciousness in the low-vibration storm of pleasure and pain.
This fear-based lifestyle resulted in the exact results that was the fear. I pushed away those who love me in times of need—always trying to prove to myself that I am enough, I don’t need anyone else. I told myself, “I am free,” because I avoided any serious relationships. Fear of losing my identity, my individuality, my liberty left me out of control and alone, not realizing the truth of who I am. I am the creator of my existence.
The energy we emit into the world returns to us tenfold. If I say this enough, maybe everyone will hear me. When we shift our perspective from fear to love, the entire world opens in our palms. Love begins to pour into our lives from every direction. We become the guiding lights along others paths in appreciation for the people that led us back from our own darkness.
As I align with my truth, I reclaim my individual liberty. We all have the freedom and ability to make an impact in the world. Embody your philosophy in action. Only you know what is right for you. Become quiet and listen to the silence—allow intuition to be your guide. Whenever you don’t know what to do—choose gratitude. The things we appreciate, appreciate. Remember, as FDR said, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”
Guidance, Blessings
