Bible

[Paule]

Thus having created an entire thought system about God based on human experience rather than spiritual truths, you then create an entire reality around love. It is a fear based reality, rooted in the idea of a fearful, vengeful God. Its sponsoring thought is wrong, but to deny that thought would be to disrupt your whole theology. And though the new theology which would replace it would truly be your salvation, you cannot accept it, because the idea of a God Who is not to be feared, Who will not Judge, and has no cause to punish is simply too magnificent to be embraced within even your grandest notion of Who and What God is.

This fear based love reality dominates your experience of love; indeed actually creates it. For not only do you see yourself receiving love which is conditional, you also watch yourself giving it in the same way. And even while you withhold and retreat and set your conditions, a part of you knows this is not what love really is. Still, you seem powerless to change the way you dispense it. You’ve learned the hard way, you tell yourself, and you'll be damned if you're going to leave yourself vulnerable again. Yet the truth is you'll be damned if you don't.

By your own mistaken thoughts about love do you damn yourself never to experience it purely. So too do you damn yourself to never know me as I really am. Until you do. For you shall not be able to deny me forever, and the moment will come for our reconciliation........
