When the inner and the outer are in sync, then amazing things can happen.
Most of the time we are in contradiction. What we feel internally is not expressed externally.
Why is that?
In my case, it has always been fear. Fear of being ridiculed, fear of being laughed at, fear of making someone angry, fear of rejection. The list is a long one.
Over time I have asked myself this question, "Who is it who is afraid?"
After looking at it I come back to the same answer.
The fear is not who I am. The fear is an invention. It is a bundle of thoughts and emotions. It is those thoughts and emotions resisting an image of a future event that does not exist.
There is nothing to fear other than what the mind says it has to fear.
Reality - what actually is - is the truth. Living through our thought-generated interpretations of reality is living in reaction to something that is not what is actually happening "out there".
Become aware of how your own thoughts generate fear. Know that those thoughts are not who you actually are. Who are you then? I feel that to be in that space of wonder where knowledge is of no use and must be put aside, is a step toward living in the truth of reality.
