>Love - THE SUN - IS at the center. <

You know this makes you sound like a sunworshipper. Maybe you aren't but if you aren't that line isn't very effective communication.

Our Sun isn't (imo) the center of anything, anymore than any other sun is. Whatever made the universe, explode, or not explode, whatever caused the creation of matter, or didn't cause it, is what we are part of. But whether there is any intelligence behind it, or any emotion or ANYTHING, we could comprehend, I've no idea.

You are stuck on that fear thing. I think we all (reasonably) fear death, a bit. It is the end of our existence as we know it now- there may be MORE but there isn't any really good proof of that, and belief, no matter how stoutly held, seems always to allow for niggles of doubt around the edges. Of course I am going by what I've read and what people have told me- maybe there are people who never experience any doubt whatsoever. That would be incredible but I'll allow for the slight possibility.

My light, my happiness, depend on doing all that I can, to the best of my ability and accepting that fear of the unknown, fear of failure, fear of the disintegration of the person, are normal, and natural, but do not need to be overwhelming- AND in fact are positive. Without the fear of extinction, would I ever get off my butt?
