Love is where your safety lies.

 What if we only have 

 one decision to make?  

  And what if there are only two choices?  

 And what if, one of those choices 

 is the way we give our power away, 

  and the other is the only way 

 to NOT give our power away 

 and the ONLY way we can 

 ever take our power back? 

  Which would you want to choose?  

Like a lot of us, I grew up with the auto-pilot program that told me I could protect myself better, control myself and others, and somehow feel more powerful and thereby safe, by withholding love.  Oh, and that it just wasn't safe without all my this means thats.  (You know what I'm talking about... this means I am loved, that means I must not be loved, this means I am good enough, that means I must not be good enough...)  Because without all my this means thats, how could I possibly decide that this is good for me and that is bad for me?  I mean, REALLY?!  Fastforward to age 26.

  "In my defenselessness my safety lies."  
"A Course In Miracles"

Foundation for Inner Peace

Workbook, Lesson 153, page 284

I began learning this very foreign lesson, and that love is where my safety lies. This teaching from "A Course In Miracles" (Foundation for Inner Peace) shook me by my roots.  Literally!

IT WASN'T WITHHOLDING LOVE

IS WHERE MY SAFETY LIES.

I discovered that love

is where my safety lies.

IT CHANGED EVERYTHING.

Part of the absolute beauty and power of the teaching is that it is instantly applicable to everything and everyone and can be proven when practiced.  I have been learning to apply this and prove it to myself for 28 years.  Fueled by feeling so functionally challenged a lot of my life, learning 'how to do' anything and everything has always been a driving force for me and learning this has been no exception.  I began to teach what I wanted to learn, and have been blessed with witnessing this 'power link' prove itself for everyone that has ever decided to trust love now.

This has allowed me to uncover that

identifying and releasing the need

to withhold love at any given moment

is the power link.

And that, there really is

only one decision... EVER.

Will I trust love now?  Or not?

How can I?

And what exactly does that look like?

My intention for this blog is that we will explore these questions together, uncovering our obstacles and resistance so that we can become free to make the decision to trust love now.

Thank you, in advance, for your willingness and your courage.  I know they will be your light-bearers on this journey, and I marvel at them - for I know from what depths they come.

Namaste,   Kat
