WHEN YOU'RE READY:

Be patient with yourself. Be Kind to yourself. No one likes to bear a burden. Begin to do the things that you've been denying were really good for you. Open up to the real Loving you. BELIEVE that things can change for the better.
By your willingness to become new, you will give yourself new strengths and a motivation to begin and continue on a road to freedom. Your advancement will be in stages, and each stage will be consolidated by Life actions to get you ready for the next stage.

When YOU are ready, Life will be ready.

By understanding the way in which fears are born, you can come to a gentle understanding of yourself and others. You can learn as you interact with all people, that quite often you are only being allowed to see as much of someone as they want you to see. By always being positive and genuine in your intentions, you can allow others to always see the value in your truth and sincerity. Through your own peaceful nature, you can give a gift so subtle, that it can go unnoticed as it lays to rest quietly in peoples hearts.

A LIGHT:

In my deepest sorrows, there is a part of me which has revealed itself and come to my aid when I was most downhearted. There in the background, is a most perfectly gentle part of me that is always ready with the right words. It's like I have at my disposal someone who is completely removed from the emotion of my situation, yet knows it fully and understands perfectly. It is never prone to anger and does not fear, and it would bring me a comfort as a friend could by placing an arm across my shoulders. Its wisdom is never clouded by sadness, and its loyalty is constant since it knows not fear. Because it is always with me, yet does not suffer as the part of me that does suffer, I use the word "Witness" to describe this curious aspect of my nature. It sees my situation and is always ready with the truth.

"How amazing.", I thought to myself after a tide of sorrow finally withdrew. "That gentle thoughts would come to me as an aching heart pounded within to tell me that 'Everything's going to be alright...Things will get better one day'". This prompted an awareness that perhaps the next time a sorrow might come my way, my Witness would be there again to guide me. Through this availability of having the most perfect thoughts at the most perfect time, I gradually learned that the simplicity in the comfort was so pure, that the wisdom of its guidance brought me out of my sorrow earlier each time.

To get to know as a truth, that no sorrow lasts forever was a great help in learning to deal with sorrow and to be able to come back to being peaceful. This pure and shining aspect of ones self is available to all and its purpose is to help you learn the lesson that no sorrow lasts forever. However, it is difficult to learn such a lesson by simply reading these words. Though you may quite easily accept them when you are peaceful, to have learnt this lesson fully, is to believe it when you are in pain.

CYCLES OF LOVE AND FEAR:

As your consciousness expands, your wisdom and Love will also expand. For every good and kind action and thought you commit yourself to, you perpetrate another kind of cycle, but it is a cycle within a Love based system. The link between Love based and fear based cycles, is that they both expand outwardly to profoundly affect one's own life and the lives of others around it. To expand and grow in Love will then bring about Growth, Harmony, and Peace, but when you contain yourself within a fear based cycle, you bring about Decay, Chaos, and Conflict.

As the way of living guided by the Ego can bring you recurring situations and sadness as well as recurring character types to your life, living in Love through refined instinct will bring the goodness that you have always been searching for. Mistakes are just mistakes. They are part of a journey; they are not the journey. Learn to treat a big mistake, the same way that you would treat a small mistake. You are not obliged to labor in thought and deed over the past. You owe it to yourself to seek; to know; and to Love yourself. You owe it to yourself to Grow.
By at last awakening to your thoughts, you have shown that your willingness to Love again is well and truly underway. Don't be concerned at this point if acting out any of your thoughts makes you sad for your awakening far outshines the end result of any deed. Your Love is piercing its way through the layers of your old self... just like a plant that forces its way through a stone path. One day that little plant will produce a magnificent flower and the wind will carry its seeds far and wide.

CONTEMPLATION:

To understand fear is to possess a key,

But the door to the place of light has rusty hinges.
