We have to extend our self to be rid of self...there is no other way. Hiding, withdrawing, "passing by on the other side of the street," is self in the uppermost part of our mind...self in control. It is by extending our self that we are letting our Self flow forth. The extension is the invisible power of God.
I suspect fear of extending our self is based in fear of rejection or looking silly...any number of ego fears hold us back. That leads me to believe that embarrassment is the ego's joystick. Why would we play with that?
No. We feel the fear, kiss it on the lips and acknowledge our gratitude that God has our back (a "Thank You" will do it). We then mentally extend our self by moving forward with our hand out and a welcoming smile on our face.
That is all that is necessary for us to pass on God's warm welcome to another. That welcome lives within us, anticipating being loosed and set free. In getting over self, we show forth love.
Thank you.
