The moon is. The sun is. I AM. You ARE.

Blights of one kind or another seem to come and go, and yet the moon is, the sun is, I AM and you ARE. What makes you flail, beloveds?

The waves of the ocean may be wild, and yet the underlying ocean is calm. Waves are waves. Ocean is ocean. Surface is surface, and depths are deep.

The Ocean of Love buoys you. There is nothing to be afraid of. Must you keep your fears? Must you hang on to them?

What is there to fear, beloveds? Fears are not your whole life. You have latched fear onto so many things. Your list of possible fears is enormous. What they all amount to is fearing life. You fear death and illness and loss and humiliation. It is life itself you fear. You do not want the turns and bends in life, yet what choice do you have, beloveds? You fear the course of life itself. All the while, you are alive on Earth, you, a child of God, and yet you see yourself as some kind of prey or victim to life, as if life were a torment, and you are at the mercy of the torment. You who are invulnerable feel vulnerable, and so you fear uncertainty.

You want to be certain of everything. You want to have a say in it.

Beloveds, you already have enough difficulty in making decisions. Do you really want to decide the day you leave your body behind? Do you really want to govern everything concerning your life? Beloveds, govern your fears. Don't have them. They are not valuable. Life is valuable.

The inevitability is that you will join Me in full consciousness. The incidents, the give and take, as you follow your path to Me, are minor compared to the arrival of your full consciousness. You fear the temporary when you are fully emblazoned in the permanence of My love, Our love. All that which seems so exceedingly important to you palls next to the Eternal of you. Yet it seems that you put all your money on the temporal. Eternity cannot be changed, and yet you give your allegiance to that temporality which you see as letting you down. The steps of your life, including the untoward ones, inch you further or even escalate you further. You are a rocket taking off, and life, as it presents itself to you, fuels your flight.

Consider Earth as a space station, beloveds, or even a bus stop. You don't stay there for very long. In the untrue measurement of time, perhaps you stay only a half hour or a minute or two. You have a space ship to catch or a bus, and soon enough you will be on your way. Do not let a stop along the way that is not to your liking absorb so much of your attention. Do not let it hold you back from rising to a new height. You are rising now. Hitting bumps makes you rise!

You are taking off for Heaven now. You are on your way. See the sights along the way. They are only sights. They are passing sights. You have a great target in mind, and nothing can stop you. Your course has been set.

You will go through good neighborhoods and poor neighborhoods. You will see all sorts of things. You will see mishaps, and you will see beauty. And, all the while, you are flying to Me. You are flying to Me.
