It is our fear of [fill in the blank] that binds us to this world.
We are told that we must lose everything in order to find God..."everything" is whatever our greatest fear is. We may mistakenly believe that our everything is the love of money, but, boiled down and purified, the love of money is fear of financial insecurity...the need for sex, society, security, just fear of being alone.
Losing "everything" requires that leap of faith we must make into the great unknown...not once but every time we accept a fear for our safety, security, sanity. And, usually, our first thought will be a CYA thought in order to keep others from knowing...from knowing the true nature of our fear which is just to keep others from knowing us.
Our rues, regrets and remorses are simply non-acceptance of the fact that our fear was found out...that we showed our butt and now regret it. We forget that showing our butt is also spiritual. We must learn, then, to invite our fear out into the open to stand for all to see, for us to experience as real, until we comprehend, realize, that this, too, is shadow substance...the ego's shadow maybe, but naught in reality and less to God.
Thank You.
