Where Desire Ends Up Causing Suffering Is

When We Open To Love, We Become Love.

When We Put Down Ideas Of What Life Should Be Like, We Are Free To Wholeheartedly Say Yes To Our Life As It Is.

If We're Not Open To Losing, We're Not Open To Loving.

Feelings And Stories Of Unworthiness And Shame Are Perhaps The Most Binding Element In The Trance Of Fear. When We Believe Something Is Wrong With Us, We Are Convinced We Are In Danger. Our Shame Fuels Ongoing Fear, And Our Fear Fuels More Shame. The Very Fact That We Feel Fear Seems To Prove That We Are Broken Or Incapable. When We Are Trapped In Trance, Being Fearful And Bad Seem To Define Who We Are. The Anxiety In Our Body, The Stories, The Ways We Make Excuses, Withdraw Or Lash Out—these Become To Us The Self That Is Most Real.
