Feeling safe

I am, you are, we are, they are, he is, she is, who is missing?

Having and being are the same truth. We are safe.

 

Because

My friend

You have revealed

your deepest fears

I sentence you

to be

Expoosed

before your peers


" Tear Down The Wall "

You tell me, you said everyone else is not self.
You really meant "everyone, else not self"?

Safe from what? Safe for what?

 

You said we lack each other? You only lack what you identify as missing.

The claims of fear.

 

I don't feel safe in my area...there are break-ins and thefts almost everyday around here.

That's why we got the dog...we aren't teaching him to be mean, but we are teaching him to be protective and to know when to be nice. He's learning a lot by feeding off of our energy...he tends to be angrier and more watchful when we are leery and happier when someone comes over that we are happy to see.

My husband is getting his license to carry as a civilian. I refuse to, but I would feel safer if he had a gun.

 

So you are afraid of being robbed, assaulted, killed?
A gun may make you feel empowered to contend with potential or imagined threat, but it doesn't make the threat go away. It is a false sense of security.

Defend yourself and you are already attacked at a very deep level. For every action there is an equal and complementary reaction. Like calls unto like and what you resist persists.

Regardless I will try to remain in your good graces for the sake of the dog.

 

Then what am I supposed to do living in the type of area I live in? And its not like moving will make a difference-this happens everywhere.

*Thankfully* I haven't been attacked or robbed, but at the rate this town is going, I will probably be seeing these things happening closer and closer to home.

I'm not saying we are getting a gun to start shooting people, but if someone did attack us, then it is my husband's right, as an American citizen, to defend what's his.

Am I not supposed to defend myself? Am I supposed to let this stuff happen to us?

 

Your feelings of safety have to do with your level of perception of the "way things are", not so much the actions you take to prepare yourself. Those actions are inspired by perceived threat.

.

I am glad for that. I am not glad that you don't feel safe in the world or in your neighborhood.

There are rights as american citizens, there are also rights as human being.
The stuff we think we own, we only use until we pass. You have a right to security but we can only be secure in real things.

Your life is yours to live. There is no supposed to. There are laws of energetic exchange. Consider what you said about the dog, "He's learning a lot by feeding off of our energy...he tends to be angrier and more watchful when we are leery and happier when someone comes over that we are happy to see." This is true of the world at large and you cannot avoid the effects of your own thinking.

 

it happens everywhere, but if you move to a decent area the odds of it are so low that worrying about it is purely a waste of time and effort.

 

Exactly. Some areas are worse than others, and some are better than others. I live in a pretty bad area, but I'm aware there are areas even worse than where I live, as well as areas that are a hell of a lot better. I know if I lived in a half decent area, I wouldn't worry half as much as I do about something bad happening to me. And unfortunately, I don't have the money required to move to a decent area.

 

thedope:

My next sentence was - "It is said we're all present, all I know is that we're alive."
You may say we couldn't lack eachother less, but we can always have more of ourselves. I am not talking numbers necessarily.

What about what we are safe for?

I don't understand the statement we lack each other.

Peace of mind, peace at large. We cannot escape the effects of our own thinking.

thedope:

I know. That's why I say we can have more of ourselves since we can't have less.

Safe for peace. I don't get it. I am an optimist, not an absolutist.

Slam! :-D

 

You are complete. This is as good as it gets in any moment even as every moment is a new creation.

You can't have peace of mind if you do not feel safe.

It is like love and fear. Where love is, there is no fear, where fear is, love is forgotten.

Bam, thank you man.

 

thedope:

The moment is as good as it gets. Not what I happen to have in it.

This is why I believe in love, and leave peace free of my belief.

I agree part of the way. Where love is there is no fear, where fear is, love need not be forgotten. Optimism, not absolutism.

 

Specialness is well...

You don't love in peace?

Each moment is new but as long as you are afraid love is forgotten and remembering is selective forgetting.

 

It depends on where you live, how your friends are and how they act.

Also who your friends or enemies are if any, and even what you eat.
