Certainty

Don’t confuse arrogance for certainty. One is a righteous assertion that what you believe is the answer and that everyone should see things the same way that you see them. The other comes from a deep confident knowing that you share with others so that they can feel it start to rise slowly from within them. The righteous use beliefs to hide their humanness, faults and fear and then beat the head of others with a doctrine that cannot be embraced because it has no power to totally change anyone.

 Those who are certain do not hide their humanness, faults or fears behind anything. They understand that all suffering comes from the mind and ego. They embrace challenge within them and surrender with full responsibility to the truth that they are the creators of all discontent because they ignorantly protect an ego that prevents certainty from rising within them. The certain share from a silence that emerges softly after the storm of a runaway ego has passed. What good is it to believe anything that is based on hiding your fear of self and existence? You were born to know and remember who you are and to be certain of the truth of existence; it is your birthright and the gift of certainty.
