what we seem to fear and what we actually fear
The following are quotes from ACIM:
'Your fear of darkness is nothing compared to your fear of the light. Your real fear is of redemption.'
'The possibility of looking within and seeing guilt only SEEMS to be the source of fear. The actual source of fear is of looking within and seeing innocence.'
'What seems to be the fear of death is really its attraction.'
'The body is a fence the Son of God (which is everyone) has created around himself, for within this fence he thinks that he is safe from love.'
There are two things, everything else is a FORM of them - love (true content) and lack of love (false content).
Lack of love is an illusion.
We seem to fear lack of love - separation, guilt, suffering, darkness, oblivion.
What we really fear is love - oneness, our innocence, our divine nature, our self-love.
People constantly AVOID love and their own divine nature. We run away from them. If we can see this within ourselves, perhaps we could overcome it.
