You have to address your own level of fear, and that is called compassion – simply being with ‘what is there’.
Accepting the whole texture of what you feel without having to act out, or lash out in some primitive bid for self-preservation.
We have to trust the texture of what is happening and relax with the ‘rip-tides’ of what we feel.
If there’s some space, then that becomes possible. It’s a ride though... but if we reject ‘the ride’... we get ridden... and the spurs bite deep!

Part of the process of unenlightenment is to hide from our patterns. The last thing we want to do is see our patterns. If we see them, then we know there’s something artificial going on. The way in which we’re acting starts to look pre-recorded. I become a walking answering-machine message. |
