Our deepest fear is not that we are inadeqate.
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 and fabulous...
Actually, who are we not to be?
You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is 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...
Just a thought...
"People are unusual creatures"
Blessed and cursed with the ability to edit our experiences, we constantly go about recreating ourselves and our world. Presented with an experience that radically alters everything we believe possible, we have three choices:
We can deny that it happened, perhaps telling ourselves we had a momentary lapse of sanity, and keep a grim hold on our known world.
We can accept it, but compartmentalize it so that it doesn't affect our other beliefs; thereby believing and not believing at the same time.
Or we can let the experience permeate our entire consciousness so that every belief we hold dear has to shift a bit in order to incorporate the new knowledge. If we make that last choice, we become different people, as new to ourselves as we are to the people who know us.
Expanded reality is a scary business. It's no wonder it's not more popular. |
