I am beginning to think that we can be our own worse enemy. I know I've been mine. Fear - false evidence appearing real, is the biggest culprit and the worse enemy of them all; and I have allowed FEAR to run havoc in my life. I have given up so much of myself- my life to that voice of FEAR in my head that kept me intimidated, paralyzed, and discontented all at the same time. Kept me running towards/away from situations I had no control of. Making decisions based on untruths (laced in fear) decisions made from the fear of what could, would or should happen. Perhaps you can relate?
Wonder why we are afraid to look deep inside ourselves to find out who we are and why it is so difficult for each of us to become our own best friend?
Well, it has been a progression of change happening in my life for several years now. I began to actually question what has been taught to me and what I believed to be absolute truth. And discovering no one really know what the truth is. I began a journey of seeking the TRUTH (my truth) by finally, not being afraid to look inward, deep within, instead of outward to validate, if I can put it that way, who I am and in essence, to understand what my purpose is in this world.
I began to question everything and I realized - I knew nothing - not even myself. So... I began my journey on the path of self discovery. Not being afraid of what I would find. Looking for all that is good in my life. Seeking my Creator and not a false image of who/what "the" Creator is. I like to use the term Creator...meaning ALL that is good and right and worthy.
So in seeking ....I sought a higher level of spiritual consciousness. I sought wholeness and oneness with my Creator and the universe.
My goal has been to eradicate FEAR from my soul. This has been easier said than done. A good book that is helping me to address the issue of fear is "the Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle -

I hope you will join me in my journey on a journey of your own. What I am calling, if I have to label it..."A Journey to Wholeness".
Your thoughts will be deeply appreciated.
In the meantime,
