First: Fear and Ignorance
Second: Wisdom and Compassion
Fear is the danger pager. You get to play fight-or-flight. Run away, or put up your dukes. Whichever you choose, get it done and move on. Don't be the guest who wouldn't leave the party.
All this passionate peril sounds like fun and games, until you over-indulge. Then fear sticks to your body like kudzu in Mississippi. It will wrap into your thoughts, and creep out in your language.Your tongue will be speaking the words of fear. Yuck!
Ignorance comes a swayin' up to people and says, "hey, I'm cool. Don't look at my history, Don't check out facts. Don't research and DEFINITELY don't educate yourself. Just listen to what I tell you, and everything will be handy-dandy-lemon-candy." It is the used car salesman, selling ice to an Eskimo.
Some one with a smidge of intelligence and an unjust heart can use fear and ignorance to manipulate others. They will inch their way into the uneducated brain, listen to words of fear, then mirror back what's being said. Except the mirrored image will be savagely bigger. Luring in unsuspecting, naive persons. Hypnotizing soft, eager minds and pushing in alarming lies.
Ignorance allows fear to grow.
Wisdom is the smarty-pants of the family. It is the one who studies before speaking, understands before judging, responds before reacting. Yes, this is mucho to handle. Being wise is not something that happens after reading one self-help book, or even from reading one of my blog posts (although, this will get you mighty close!). If there were a pill I could give that brought wisdom in a swallow, I'd be tossing one to every person I met. But alas, you have to do your homework.
But hey! Whatever you want to know, there are angels attached to you. They are frothing at the mouth, awaiting your request to download whatever information you want. The info may not come in a book delivered by Amazon Angel.com. It will come in a more creative way. Such as over-hearing a talk show host discuss what has been troubling you. Or passing advice from a co-worker. Ask for what you want, then listen for the answer.
An aside: angels can't help until you ask.
It's all about that whole free will thing.
Angels are not on FaceBook, or even have email accounts. I know, weird, huh? Best way to reach them? Meditate. From there, you can also access your Spirit Guides, Inner Self, and some dang good knowledge.
Compassion is the helper. The one who rushes out in the rain, snow and sleet to help an elderly person cross the street, anonymously pays the gas bill of a neighbor so they don't get cut off, and volunteers to host a refugee family. Excuses as to why they can't help are not in their vocabulary. Caring about others is part of their make-up.
Feeling blue and need a good ear? You know which friend to call--the compassionate one who will listen with minimal judgment. They are the type you want to marry. Long-standing relationships are in every pocket of their jackets. Be sure to always have a couple on your cell phone speed dial.
Wisdom and compassion: when pasted together can get you flying.
So, these two languages? They don't understand one another. The second can be kind to the first, even understanding. But really get one another? Not happening here, folks.
An interpreter is needed. And this is called Love.
Love speaks all languages. It can listen to both sides and help each side listen to each other. It casts light on the shadow of fear, awareness to the ignorant, and boosts wisdom and compassion to become the servant of the highest good.
Where do you find love? Well, in your heart, silly. It is the heaven that is inside you. Once you peel back the onion-like layers of your outer self, you will discover your original language of love.
Onion peeling is a journey. There may be crying when you cut in. But hey! Who said the journey had to be overly difficult and dull? Sauteed, grilled, fried or raw, onions add flavor to our lives,
What I would like to know, are your experiences with fear, ignorance, wisdom, and compassion. What ways have you seen love swoop down and talk the talk of both sides. Your input adds the accent needed to build on the language of love. Please, add your comments at the end of the post.
