I spent years in a painfully comfortable place, until I realised that to go beyond the fear of the unknown, is to realise that fear itself is just thought in the moment.
Fear itself, is just thought in the moment.
The thoughts:
‘I’m not good enough to change my job’ and ‘I like this nail varnish’ are the same. The only difference between them is the meaning I place on them.
When I deeply experience this truth, I can see that thought in the moment has no meaning. It’s completely neutral until I interfere with it.
I started to see that if thought has no meaning, it cannot define me.
I am not the thoughts or the feelings that are showing up.
I am so much more than that.
Thoughts and feelings arise and fall as they naturally do, in the space between our true essence and this human experience.
No level of certainty or uncertainty can take away from our true essence.
We are all whole and complete, way before thought and feelings were ever created.
So if our true essence isn’t the mind, then fear itself is just momentary thoughts and feelings that will pass.
If that’s true, we don’t need to take those thoughts so seriously.
Just like we don’t take the thought of nail varnish seriously.
