the general functioning of love and fear

It is important to understand how love and fear work, and iden- tify the consequences and responses of living in one side or anoth- er. In order to truly know ourselves and move forward, we need to be very honest with who we are. This means asking questions that we may never have considered, and trying to really find out in what base (approach from love or fear) we find ourselves most of the time. This will enable us to then set goals for improvement by recognizing the moments in which we act according to the basis of love or fear.

Love

Love is an energy of openness, expansion, affection, compassion, transformation, happiness, serenity, gratitude and growth, which is replenished from the universe. Whenever we express love, we receive its energy. When the feeling of love overflows and is transmitted to all, it is characteristic of unconditional love. Individuals who are purely motivated by love will always win in the end,

Fear

Fear is an energy opposed to love, of disconnection, anger, pes- simism, stagnation, limitations, oppression, anxiety, sadness and jealousy that is very easy to multiply if we let the feelings, emotions and experiences that we go through trap us.

Fear is subjective, and we create it ourselves when we have ex- periences that we do not like. It is also the instinctive function of the body that can inhibit learning.

The Process

A) our objective

The objective of our life plan is for us to go through certain experiences and expand our knowledge on how life works.

B) From Fear to Love

The spiritual purpose of life is to move from fear to love. Just like a butterfly must first exit its cocoon before it can fly, people need to go through the experience and then learn from it before unfolding their wings entirely.

It is more difficult to learn something when we are controlled by fear because we repeat the same experiences over and over again. This prevents us from gaining insight, which traps us in fear.

C) the Dance between Fear and Love

Individuals can live in two opposing areas: love or fear. Both areas are not always stable in an individual since we fluctuate between one and the other. Therefore, the oscillations between the two mean that the way we face life is not something fixed, but is flexible and involves choice.

Choosing one or the other leads the individual to understand life from two different points of view that will influence his behaviours, thoughts, feelings and even his abilities. In other words, people can view the same reality very differently depending on their lens.

Along the way, our tendencies towards love and fear become balanced as we all fluctuate. Therefore, something can happen that completely changes the dynamics of the experience, and shift our view to the opposite side. You can start with love and end up with fear, or vice versa. For example, if we plan to spend a nice weekend with a new partner but if the event ends with physical or verbal ag- gression, the experience moves from love to fear.
