✨ Sunday Message: Fear Is the Devil, Love Is the Way
“God may be real, but religion is man’s story about it.”
“Cannabis is a sacrament—a gift for healing, reflection, and becoming.”
🔰 Opening Reflection
What if the greatest evil isn’t a horned monster hiding in the shadows—but the quiet voice that lives inside your own head?
That whisper that says:
“You don’t deserve love.”
“You’re not good enough.”
“You’ll always fail.”
“That stranger over there? They’re the reason your life is hard.”
Fear is subtle. It’s ancient. And in today’s world, it’s everywhere.
But here’s the question we must ask:
What if fear itself is the devil?
Not some red demon—but the internal and external force that divides us from truth, love, and each other.
We’ve been conditioned to define ourselves by our jobs, our wealth, our gender roles. But these are illusions—social scripts written by systems of control.
Fear is what keeps us bound to these illusions. And love is what can set us free.
🧠 Science and Faith
Let’s begin with a sacred truth:
Perfect love drives out fear (1 John 4:18).
Yet most of us are walking around terrified—of not being enough, of losing what little we have, of people who look, sound, or live differently than we do.
Organized religion should have helped.
But far too often, it amplified the fear.
“You’re sinful.”
“You’re damned.”
“They’re evil.”
This is not God.
This is man’s story—written in fear, for control.
Let’s look to the Bible and see what it actually says about how we treat strangers:
Deuteronomy 10:19 – “You shall love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.”
Hebrews 13:2 – “Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing so some have entertained angels unaware.”
Strangers are not enemies. They are sacred.
But what do we do today?
We cage migrants.
We demonize asylum seekers.
We elect leaders who tell us to fear the “other” instead of love them.
We turn families fleeing violence into political talking points.
And every time we do…
We grow the devil.
Let’s also not forget:
The Bible’s teachings on love are not just poetic—they are instructions for survival. Because hate, once seeded, spreads.
September 11th was born from hate. Hate born from fear.
If we keep feeding that fear, the cycle never ends.
Cannabis helps break that cycle.
When used as a sacrament—with intention, stillness, and presence—cannabis helps us listen to ourselves more honestly. It quiets the storm of fear and brings a clarity many of us have forgotten. That clarity says:
“You are not your job. You are not your trauma. You are not your fear.”
“You are a soul. A healer. A part of something bigger.”
And in that stillness, you can hear the voice of love again.
📚 & Philosophy
Now let’s look at how humanity has wrestled with this question for thousands of years.
In Old Norse tradition, there is a sacred law of hospitality. In the Hávamál—the wisdom of Odin—it says:
“The guest who comes needs fire and warmth, and kind words from the host.”
“Welcome him. Feed him. Offer peace. For one day, you too may walk as a stranger.”
In a time of brutal winters and violent tribes, this wasn’t just etiquette.
It was ethics. It was survival. It was spiritual truth.
Today, we have food, heat, homes—and we shut our doors.
We let our politics override our compassion.
We build border walls instead of bridges.
But imagine a future where we rejected that fear.
Imagine a techno-utopia grounded in empathy and equity.
Where borders are open and cooperation is the law of the land.
Where AI and automation free people to grow, create, and connect.
Where cannabis and other sacraments are used for mental wellness, spiritual development, and truth-seeking—not criminalized.
That world is possible.
But only if we kill the devil at the root—and the root is fear.
🕊️ Closing Challenge
So here is your challenge this week:
Every time fear speaks—pause. Breathe. Listen.
Ask yourself: Is this love talking, or fear?
And when you see someone hurting, struggling, or simply different than you…
Don’t wait for permission.
Don’t ask if they “deserve” your compassion.
Just love them. Help them. Welcome them.
Because in that moment, you are not just being good.
You are being human.
And maybe—just maybe—you are becoming holy.
✨ Reflective Mantra:
“Fear is the devil. Love is the way. I am not afraid.”
