Our New Story: Guides in the Garden Volume 1 Quotes

“Do You Want to Fear?” Many of you act as if fearing is not a choice, when in actuality you decide that you shall choose fear. And then you often claim the Dark did it to you, or the unknown made you fear. Or you claim that the scary alien or the devil himself or herself made you fear. You may say, “Cannot things hurt us?” Very well, yes. You may fall down a set of stairs. So you might as well watch where you are stepping and pay attention out of Love and care for yourself. But fear often simply shows up as a sign that something is hidden and in the dark. The moment that you, within your knowing of Oneness, is not scared of looking into the dark or hidden spaces, is the moment fear loses any kind of power over you. It then is being used as a power for you and through you.”

“Perhaps this all sounds too simple and happy-go-lucky. Well, snap out of it! No thing has dominion or power over you unless you give it that power. Stand your ground. Take three deep breaths. Be willing to see into what something truly is. Be willing to take the time and ask questions. Be willing to Play. This is what we are inviting you to do here. Imagine your new life of being free from all fear. Imagine a life where fear is being used as an empowerment through you. Yes. Own your power. Every moment. This is You! Make your choice.”

“Look at our previous example of the girl. Her life continued to get smaller and smaller as she allowed herself to believe the fear and choose a decreasing of choice, Light, and life. This was brought through the continual choice of agreement to fear. All of this is in choice. She never lost her choice. And no matter how far or small she got to experience herself, it was through continual choice. And a part of that choice was her agreeing to believe that she did not have choice. This is a beauty of the cycle or cyclone which the energy of fear is. When one believes that it must hand over its energy to fear, this energy is then used to reinforce and pull more energy into the experience itself until it can be blinding. But once again, at any moment, one may free oneself through the simple choice of Love and recognition of their Oneness.”

“We are here to have questions, doubt, and then find/adjust ourselves back…finding each and every way we can act out our truth in this material form. And the consciousness and awareness of the knowledge of each unique experience is then added to our larger awareness and never lost. Yes, for there is nothing lost. All truth is available to us at any time.”

“The human brain and the past paradigm that has been so prevalent on Earth has set up many systems of behavior meant to continue to support enough cooperation to allow for survival…and just enough fear to continue perpetuating the idea that there is something to survive from. Indeed, in order to have a friend, there must be a foe. In order for one to feel rich, others have to be poor. And in this paradigm of striking contrasts, it is important for you to decide on the specific identifications which make one person one thing and another person the other.”

“Truth” is a form of this honoring that we speak of and is a part of what may be known as integrity of the soul. As one may come to see, when there is any identity, there will always be a subjective viewpoint. “Truth,” in a sense, may only be experienced through this subjective viewpoint. And as we become nimble and honor each view, a more complete picture may be known of “truth”. In a sense, we all operate in “truth,” but what is the truth that we are operating through? This is a question which can be gold to each of us.”

“The lens can act in many different ways and lenses can be stacked on top of each other in order to produce varying types of views. Take the fish-eye lens as an example. The glass on the lens is shaped in a certain way in order for the light to enter and produce a certain kind of distorted view. We all are born with a lens, but usually we get to kind of start at ground zero in the process of beginning to understand, use, and interpret what this physical reality is. As our eyes open and we start to interface with this new reality, we form connections and synapses within our brain for interpretation and use of this new tool that we have. And much of this develops through the guidance or non-guidance of those caring for us. So much starts to become ingrained, and even in some cases we can borrow other people’s lenses in order to feel safe in the world. Sometimes the layers and layers can become quite complex. How many of you feel that anything you come in contact with gets to be translated through a menagerie of different thoughts, ideas, and histories before it fully gets seen?”

“Love is how I entered into this life and survived. Love is how I came to experience growth and increase in intelligence and Light. Love is the guiding voice which has allowed me to step through my fears into the dark and walk out the other side. And Love continues to be the path that allows me to enter again and again into the dark and once again discover the Light.”

“LOVE IS! Just as I AM. Love IS This All. Love IS the movement and the flow itself—The Way of All. This Way of All is a beautiful path, which many are choosing to step into and walk as. This golden path sings. As one places one’s own foot down upon the soil of itself, each step is one meeting itself. Each touch, each experience is a rejoicing and "honoring".”
