Be a friend to your fear

Fear is the foundation upon which the ego stands and it is fear that must be dealt with as the final door leading you inward to the awareness of self. It is a desperate attempt of the ego to remain in control of the identity that the mind has created and nourished for years.  Fear keeps the ego in control and distracts the mind from coming to terms with the limits it possesses within the identity. Both the mind and the ego run from the source of truth within you, they seek to avoid meeting the real you in awareness.

Become a friend to your fears, invite them to introduce their self to you, let them speak and don’t turn your back on them. Surrender to the pain and realize that you are not the pain, but the one who observes the pain. Talk to the pain and the fear and ask them to reveal their secret. Pain is the final step of the mind and ego to hold onto you and keep you bound by a false identity. Awareness takes you beyond the identity molded by fear and into the truth of your being.
