The entire world is talking about the fact that all of our problems and suffering come from fear of death and a lot is suggested to eradicate it.
Would it be helpful to focus our attention in the opposite direction? I think so.
It’s not the fear of dying that we so desperately need
to shake off
It’s the fear of living!
I can’t do that! What would others think?
I can’t want that! What would that mean about me?
I shouldn’t feel that! I shouldn’t say that! I mustn’t think
like this…
These are all fear of living! We are afraid to live the life
we are so desperately wanting to live.
We are scared to liberate the real, the true and let it live
through us.
What would others think?
The problem isn’t fear of dying. Fear of dying is a good
thing (on a level). It’s stops you doing stupid things like crossing the road
without properly looking. It’s the fear of living, crossing that road when you really
want to know what’s happening on the other side but, getting lost in the inner
dialogue. Never crossing to ever find out! Fear of living shows, not in big things: big decisions, massive steps, huge risks. It is deeply rooted and shows up in very
little things! The courage to live starts in minuscule steps.
In what small way do you fear life? How can you shake it out
of the way? Is it worth doing something about it while you still have time?
