The last step, when we have made contact with God and experienced His unconditional love, is to realize that all the problems we experience - all the hatred, violence, and rejection - are caused by fear.
And so it is true: there are only two things in the world: love and fear.
And "perfect love casts out fear." 1 John 4:18 (NRSV)
