31 FLAVORS

DRAMA

is the diet

of ego

SPIRIT

goes straight

to dessert

We are not talking ice cream here, but, the 31 flavors of fear.

We are really capable of only two emotions; LOVE and fear.  Each represents the operating systems we came into our experience with; LOVE, representing our TRUE spiritual REALITY, and fear, representing the unreality of our own creation.

LOVE is generally mis-characterized as an emotion, which it is not.  It is more accurately described as a feeling.  Fear, on the other hand, is an emotion with 31 flavors of expression, none of them very appealing.

The 31 flavors of fear include, but are not limited to, anger, hate, jealousy, envy, strife, frustration, confusion, depression, spite, lust, condescension, doubt, turmoil . . . and on and on.

Some may argue that each of these is comprised of their own unique DNA, but that is not the case.  If we pull back the curtain far enough, the only face we see is that of fear.

In the prodigal son’s little misadventure, he probably had samplings of all the above, and then some--the particulars are left to our own imagination.  What he did discover was that he did not have an appetite for such a diet.  Instead, his taste buds had a hankering for the grub of LOVE/JOY/PEACE--the trifecta of HOME cooking.

Our 31 flavor experience is one diet we can decide to change.  We know how it goes:  if we have it in the house, we are going to eat it.  So, the solution lies in not buying it in the first place.

Leaving it in the store will keep it out of our house and off our waste line.

This is a diet worth considering.
