The key to the unified field theory. The energy that is limitless. Matter and energy are one, and energy is Love. We use love to shape reality. As Darkness is the absence of light, so fear is the absence of love.
Expectations are a way of creating limitations on our experience.
The choice of how you perceive resides with you. It is your world. If you have expectations that you are vulnerable to the negative energy of others, then you will be. I mean that kindly. We know way more than we think we know, but to access it we have to give up what we think we know.
