We protect ourselves from encountering what seems to threaten us. The only difficulty with this is that what we keep out, we also keep in. Ultimately, we cannot protect ourselves, for this involves a system of defense that will fail us eventually. Our safety lies in the inclusion of all concerned for a healing solution. If we are into protection, we end up encasing ourselves in a prison of our own fears.
Safety is about letting in.
It lets in another way of seeing and experiencing the world around us. Safety lets in the support of the universe rather than trying to protect us the from the world. We invite the gift of God's Safety to guide us to see through and beyond what has always brought us fear. God would not help us keep our illusions. He would help us see that all of Heaven is here in our support.
