This article,  originally entitled Tree of Love , was  written and posted by me on January 2, 2010 on my Say No To Fear blog.    I thought I would repost it here on my main blog under the more appropriate title, Where Does Fear Come From? It's quite lengthy.  But I hope you take the time to read it carefully and thoroughly.  If you have any questions and/or comments, please do not hesitate to leave them here. *~*~*~*~*~*~ The following is a message I received during one of my daily meditations.   It is in answer to one of the questions I posed ... where does fear come from? As a psychic medium, I am accustomed  to being visited by spirits of all walks of life--past, present, and yes, future.  I am always pleasantly surprised when I am visited by the spirits of people I've only heard about.   Like the numerous others who have visited me over the years, I only knew of him.  I never really bothered to read up ...

If you been following my blog for the last few months, you already know that one of my fears is standing out -- being seen and heard.  Hard to believe!  I know!

I was punishe...

So how is suppressing all your negative thinking  coming along?  How is all your attempts at eliminating,  your "shadow side" working out for you?   What's that you say?  You're Finding yourself having to repeatedly face them time and time and time again?  Feeling like you are caught in a never ending loop do you? There's a reason for that!   Keep reading .... As we all know (or should know by now) ... energy cannot be destroyed or eliminated!  Energies, whether you label them good or bad,  can only be directed, guided and shifted.     Okay, that's worth repeating! No Energy can be destroyed or eliminated!   Energies, whether you label them good or bad,   can only be directed, guided and shifted.  We are all experiencing Everything!  Every emotion known is felt by each of us!  To deny even one aspect of your Self ... label it as bad ... to stuff it all ...
