Yes, love is a choice, but is that statement really comprehensible ? Yes you can't fight it, you can't out smart it, you can't out run it.
I do not believe that fear can be cast out or even risen above it for that is a stance of resistance or rejection of what is actually occurring.
I believe that the choice of love is made through a process of recognition. By pausing judgement on the fear and looking at the fear for what it is. Stepping back and seeing it's true nature and origin. Fear can only exist within separation consciousness. Fear is felt when you do not feel you are supported, when you doubt that you are protected and when you believe in the story being told. The subconscious patterns must come to the surface and be seen for what they are.
See the inner child who feels that they are not supported, who doubts, who believes in the lie that they are unworthy or undeserving, that they are not divine, or that they are sinners that deserve suffering. See the reactions of the inner child, and see and recognise their divine justification for fear. Then once the source of the fear is seen you can then embrace it, and have compassion and love for the child. Fear is born of isolated children who have forgotten that they are loved and protected. You can provide this love for yourself and be the source of love. Then fear simply fades away and love arises.
That is the choice, the choice to see things for what they are and have compassion for fear is the fear of the innocent, your inner innocence. As far as I'm concerned fear must be embraced and loved and recognised, not cast out, not rejected, not pushed to the side. Oh the poor child, share in their suffering by embracing it in compassion and love. Love arises and fear is appeased and is thus transmuted into the light of your heart. That is how love casts out fear.
