From "Conversations with God"

"All human actions are motivated at their deepest level by one of two emotions- fear or love. In thruth there are only two two emotions- only two words in the language of the soul. These are the opposite ends of the great polarity which I created when I produced the universe, and your world, as you know it today.
These are the two points- the Alpha and Omega- which allow the system you call "relativity" to be. Without these two points, without these two ideas about things, no other idea could exist.
Every human thought, and every human action, is based in either love or fear. There is no other human motivation, and all other ideas are but derivatives of these two. They are simply different versions- different twists on the same theme.
Think on this deeply and you will see that it is true. This is what I have called the Sponsoring Thought. It is either a thought of love or fear. This is the thought behind the thought behind the thought. It is the first thought. It is prime force. It is the raw energy that drives the engine of human existance.
And here is how human behavior produces repeat existance after repeat existance; it is why humans love, then destroy, then love again: always there is the swing from one emotion to the other. Love sponsors fear sponsors love sponsors fear...
...And the reason is found in the first lie- the lie which you hold as the truth about God- that God cannot be trusted; that God's love cannot be depended upon; that God's acceptance of you is conditional; that the ultimate outcome is thus in doubt. For if you cannot depend on God's love to always be there, on whose love can you depend? If God retreats and withdraws when you do not perform properly, will not mere mortals also?
...And so it is that in the moment you pledge your highest love, you greet your greatest fear.
For the first thing you worry about after saying "I love you" is whether you'll hear it back. And if you hear it back, then you begin immediately to worry that the love you have just found, you will lose. And so all action becomes a reaction- defense against loss- even as you seek to defend yourself against the loss of God.
Yet if you knew Who You Are- that you are the most magnificent, the most remakable, the most splendid being God has ever created- you would never fear. For who could reject such wondrous magnificance? Not even God could find fault in such a being."
