Fear v. Love
Closedness is a tone of fear.
Fear is the tone opposite to love.
Where fear is running the system, love is not running the system.
The tone of fear is closedness, constriction, contraction.
Fear, closedness, constriction, contraction, they all serve a sacred purpose.
They are also all capable of enduring beyond this purpose.
Fear alchemizes into love when we relax and open all the contracted and closed parts. Fear alchemizes into love with enough loving attention.
Yet those running systems prosperous in love are unlikely to interface with systems running on fear, or if they do, they are unlikely to allow them to remain long enough for the relational system to drive the alchemy.
Because fear can also overtake love as the tone, even in systems prosperous in love. Those prosperous in love curate to love, that is how they become prosperous in love.
Loving people honor closedness and do not attempt to open it or penetrate it. When they encounter closedness, they bump off of it in search of the next opening.
Closed people fixate on opening closedness in others, because the closedness of someone else appears to be the path via which they might access openness.
Loving people honor fearful people and do not attempt to dissuade them from their fears.
Fearful people fixate on fears in others, contending with the threat the fear fears, thinking their own fears will resolve in the safety of an unthreatened and therefore fearless system. In this way, fearful people have a sacred purpose to which they may put their own fear.
All of this is to say that those in fear cannot count on love in relational systems to be the love that alchemizes their fear. The systems which have enough love to achieve that are busy contending with other options vibrating in the tone of love.
The good news is that those in fear have all the same access to love as those in love.
Love is in infinite supply, we may all welcome it from within, may only welcome it from without through opening inner channels to the infinite love flow available from the world in every moment.
Showing up in fear, showing up closed, and asking connection to produce love and openness is a common yet doomed practice.
It is doomed as a sacred redirection, turning each of us back to the gates within us which must come down, expand to non-density, dissolve and be carried away by love.
