Are We Afraid to Be Love?

Some time ago these questions led me to a profound appreciation for the challenge in the rawness of living and loving fully, and an awareness of the enormous courage and strength that is necessitated to walk this human path, to be truly connected with the love that we are and allow it to flow.

I find them helpful to revisit from time to time to remind me of many things that are important for living freely and lovingly. I find that my answers shift as new information arises…experience with the process for me produces inner ease as there is a release of more and more of what causes stress…so in spite of the questions being somewhat profound….the overall result is one of lightening, ease, greater flow and happiness.
Would love to hear what your experience with them is like!! 🙂

Is it easier to accept our flawed nature than our goodness, our potential, the love that we are in our deepest hearts ?

What is it like to sit in the deep stillness of your own heart and feel who you truly are? What keeps you from being able to maintain living from that space?

Is your preoccupation with doing, improving, striving keep you from a direct, honest experience of not only yourself but of the world?

What would it be like to embody the truth expressed in the following quote instead of simply being fascinated with the concept intellectually?

What blocks owning our own goodness and expressing what lies deepest in our hearts?

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
