Choke out the weeds of fear with love

From A Course In Miracles - p32

"It has already been said that you believe you cannot control fear because you yourself made it, and your belief in it seems to render it out of your control. Yet any attempt to resolve the error through attempting the mastery of fear is useless. In fact, it asserts the power of fear by the very assumption that it need be mastered. The true resolution rests entirely on mastery through love. In the interim, however, the sense of conflict is inevitable, since you have placed yourself in a position where you believe in the power of what does not exist."

A lot of human behavior is fear based. How would it feel different every day to live in a positive calm state, even a neutral state, rather than a state of fear?

One of the best book titles ever is "Only Love Is Real" by Dr. Brian Weiss. It's a great read as well. The title reminds me of the quote above and the book is about love transcending time.

If there is a non-material state that exists after this one, the only thing that I am aware of that we can take with us is love and the memories that we stored regarding love in our soul. Fear and hate do not exist outside of the body. Fear and hate need a body to survive, a host. I do hope that love is eternal and transcendent.

What the Course says about love in the introduction is very powerful as well:

"The Course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love, for that is beyond what can be taught. It does aim, however, at removing the blocks to the awareness of love's presence, which is your natural inheritance. The opposite of love is fear, but what is all-encompassing can have no opposite".
