Love leads people to rise above the perception of darkness.
The darkness that we perceive is within us. We are the creators of our reality. We can manifest love when in alignment with the Universe or we can manifest chaos in alignment with fear.
It’s our thoughts that becomes our reality. That’s why it’s important that when these“bad” thoughts, anxiety, grief, jealousy comes to haunt us that we ask the“Universe” for help. We need to say “Thank you Universe for guiding me to perceive this fear through the teacher of love.
That’s when we can experience a holy moment or a miracle you might say. We need to surrender fear to the care of the Universe.
When we remind ourselves that there is a higher power of love that can heal us. That is when we experience change within.
The more we return to the holy instant, the more we will return to love. We must understand that fear will never disappear fully so we must see these moment as a time to experience the holy instant. The goal is not to believe in fear but to surrender to love.
Remember that the energy we put out we receive.

The holy instant? Oh, you are familiar with ACIM!

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.

Even more, the word Universe in a spiritual context is becoming synonymous with a religious "God", an entity who manages the affairs of a few ga-zillion subordinate souls under "his" (presumably) care in the physical universe.
As a gnostic I don't buy it. It is our responsibility to deal with our "fears" as best we can, not hand them over to a supposed suprahuman entity to which we ascribe sentiments of all kinds, love being one. We don't rise above fear (which is just as generic a concept as love) by pretending we can hand responsibility to some other entity.
The fact that it doesn't work is shown by it never working under any god to whom people have entrusted their spiritual welfare in orthodox religions...which is why we have such fears today.

In response ...
God is love ...
The cross is a symbol of God's eternal love as well as others according to one's beliefs ...
Good reminders ...
For some people, love - healthy/unhealthy, are felt from both sides of the spectrum ...
There's the good, then there's seeking revenge from being in love or having loved ...
I prefer the light ...
Nothing can come from kicking dirt or screaming at my husband's grave from leaving me - dying ...
Although, immediately after he was killed I thought about buying a heavy metal casket that would crush his since I will be buried on top of him ...
But then, I was reminded his casket is enclosed with a concrete burial vault ...
Yup, I was really grieving w/irrational anger ...

Ok and what's this ''love'' you speak of and how would I surrender to it? Am I to unconditionally love everyone I encounter? If that is it, I don't think I'll ever be capable of doing such a thing.
Also, It's easy to say to surrender all those negative thoughts to the universe and expect miracles rolling in. Not saying it's good to have negative thoughts, but you don't know what someone is been through or dealing with, so some people may actually have very valid reasons for having negative thoughts. Sorry to say, but positive thinking isn't really a magic cure to everything. Perhaps for some people it is, for some it isn't.

I thought the same, but ...
I guess then he/she would say something like "The Light is within us."

Well, no, it's not about loving people you don't know or have never encountered ...
It's about remembering all people are children of God to treat w/love & respect as we would our own God ...
It's true, some people behave like animals, there's really nothing the average citizen can teach them, but we can pray for them ...
Simply remind yourself s/he is a child of God, say a prayer for him/her, then move on but you can't flip them the bird while doing so ...
When I do this, it means I acknowledge who & what s/he is as well as hope for meaningful love & humility in their life ...
That is all I can do for a whacky or creepy person ...
For me, it clears that person out of my mind so I can get on w/my life ...
Positive thinking isn't a magic cure, however, it can be the end result from processing an unbearable challenge to diminsh its power over us ...
It would be like me saying, my late husband is w/God years after his death b/c I still had to process it ...
That is viewing a major negative incident into a positive outlook to allow a person to breathe, move forward ...
All we can do is try our best to be humble ...
JMHO ...
