Much of our fear, much of our apprehension, comes from an ongoing attempt to hide from ourselves, to hide from others, to hide from life and the world. So, you may ask, “What am I hiding from, exactly”? Well, for the most part, what we hide from is the truth we have found within our experience. Now, there is no person who has found ultimate truth, but we must accept that each of us has found a part through our vast experience. The problem we have, however, is that we do not trust what we have discovered, and therefore become unwilling to apply it within our life, in order to know for sure, if this truth is correct or not. This is how we hide from the very thing whose purpose is to set us free. On the other hand, we may have applied what we discovered adequately in our life, but are unwilling to show it, express it, and thereby share it with others. This is how we hide from the outside. We must keep in mind that all acquired knowledge and wisdom is meant for all, for this is its intended purpose. Our apprehension comes into play for a couple of reasons. For those of us who have found the ability to truly come from the heart, we do not wish to know something others do not, or, we do not want to be better or above anyone or anything else. This is basically a good thing, for it keeps us humble, and reminds us that our standing in life must always be one of equality. But, my friends, to know more provides a pathway for others to acquire the same, and they will. Equality is therefore never negated.
What underlies our apprehension of applying what we know in our own life, is that we possibly leave others behind along the way. A scary prospect indeed. However, this is yet another way for us to understand what love actually is, and this warrants our most careful consideration. The other factor inhibiting this forward movement is the temporary isolation that will necessarily follow. But, my friends, if we don’t take the risk, the potential for others to do the same is greatly diminished. This realization suggests that we must find a way to share our truth and wisdom in whatever way is appropriate. Our apprehension here, is a need for us to fully understand the power knowledge brings. In other words, we do not want to misuse what has been acquired. The only tool we have available to bring our knowledge of truth forward in a useful or purposeful way is trial and error. With our willingness to proceed, all apprehension is overcome.
Once we adequately apply knowledge within our own lives, our goal becomes that of sharing it with the world. This brings in an appropriate sense of timing. You see, if we demand our truth be seen and accepted by others, our wisdom is incomplete, and the sharing of it becomes a mission rather than a useful and helpful presentation. There are times when it is ok to withhold knowledge, for many are not ready to receive. There is no hiding here. The truth we have discovered serves no purpose if we do not exercise caution when needed. We hide from ourselves and the world when we miss the opportunity to share our knowledge, wisdom, and experience when the opportunity presents itself. Again, no need to worry, we’ll get it right with consistent effort. Adequate experience will always provide the best way, the correct way.
My companions, we develop right timing, we use our knowledge and power correctly, by being quiet. Those that truly know, work behind the scenes for the most part. Having said this, those who speak the most have little to say. Sometimes it’s ok to just know, and let that be enough. Perhaps there is nothing to do. The purpose of acquiring wisdom is entirely simple, let it be what it is. So, the most important question we could possibly ask still remains. If we want to be of help, how can we help with nothing to say and nothing to do? Oh, dear friend, if wisdom is to truly make itself known, it is love that we must be. Once we consistently come from our heart, we live in the present moment, we have no itinerary. We share our wisdom from this place, for love is listening. You may recall, a good rule of thumb is not to help unless it is asked for. If it is asked for, if someone asks us what we know, then we have a responsibility to share. All is well.
When we allow ourselves to be afraid of what we know, we will hide from what is necessary. This creates a defensive posture in which nothing can be given or received. If all others are equally defensive, no communication is possible, nothing of value can be shared. There is no love happening. Each of us has a part of the truth, an acquired wisdom, that will indeed benefit all. It is time to trust this and bring it forward. And remember, my friends, there is no truth that is real, there is no wisdom or knowledge that has any value, if it is put forth with demand. A sense of urgency is entirely manufactured. There is no freedom in this. Let love do its job by allowing things to come forward as intended when the time is right. This is all we must do. This is all we must know.
Acquire knowledge and own it
There’s no reason to hide
Apply this knowledge and experience is yours
Experience is wisdom
Share this wisdom with others and the purpose of love is revealed
All my love and support, be well
