Understand this one sentence,
and you understand
the whole universe:
The universe has only two channels: fear, and love.
Have you ever felt
that you are living an exhausting life?
Not physical tiredness,
but a kind of tension,
your heart always hanging in midair.
You always worry there won’t be enough money,
worry the one you love will leave,
worry that something bad will happen in the future.
We read so many books, hear so many truths,
trying to find an answer that sets us free.
In fact,
that thick, thick series, Conversations with God,
millions of words turned over and over,
tells us only one thing:
the simplest, most shattering truth.
01
A deep distrust
of the unknown
It says
all the pain in your life,
all the struggle, lack and setbacks,
come from one single cause:
you have
a deep distrust
of the unknown.
You have tuned your life’s “channel”
to fear.
02
The universe is like
a giant copy machine
Think back:
when you are anxious, worried, afraid,
what are you actually doing?
You think you are guarding against trouble.
You think you are planning for the future.
But by the laws of energy,
you are really sending the universe
a “negative order.”
Because every time you worry,
you confirm to the universe again and again:
“That bad outcome is real.”
“I am truly afraid.”
The universe is like a giant copy machine.
It doesn’t understand your words;
it only copies your frequency.
The more you focus on fear,
the more you attract the things you fear.
This is the root of your pain:
it is you who, with a wall called fear,
has shut the abundance that was yours
firmly outside the door.
03
Stop “wanting,”
start “thanking”
So the only way out
is not to solve the endless problems
outside you,
but to change the channel, right now —
to switch
from fear to love.
How?
Listen to this heart-method that may turn your thinking upside down:
stop wanting, start thanking.
We are so used to reaching outward,
asking for money, for love, for things to go smoothly.
But have you ever thought
that whenever you say “I want,”
you are declaring to the universe, “I don’t have”?
You keep confirming your lack.
Gratitude, though,
is the highest form of having.
When you stop longing so desperately
and try giving thanks instead —
even in the face of a temporary setback,
even in the middle of today’s mess —
dare to say: thank you.
In the instant you say it,
a miracle happens:
you go from a beggar in lack
to, in a heartbeat, someone confirming abundance.
Your frequency
leaps straight from hell to heaven.
04
Pain
is how you grow your capacity
Because you know
there is nothing bad on the channel of love.
The experiences that hurt you,
the moments you wanted to run from,
are really expanding you.
The universe is stretching your capacity.
It wants to give you abundance as wide as the sea,
but your vessel right now
is still only a small cup.
Pain
is what breaks that cup.
There will be cracks, there will be aching,
but trust that this is where the light gets in.
It is preparing you to receive
a far greater abundance still to come.
The moment you decide to trust,
your heart grows still.
You begin to rest in each present moment:
drink a cup of tea well,
do the task in front of you well,
treat each person before you kindly.
Because you know
the instant you change the channel,
the timeline that led toward disaster is already cut.
From then on
you will truly
live in love.
