Your greatest joy and freedom comes when you give according to your potential. Conversely, your greatest pain 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF

neither deny this inner refusal by repression nor give in to it. I shall meet this, too 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF
to admit your fear of your secret and give up the lie of your life. Even if 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF

course you take. When you are willing to give it up, the worst is not one-tenth as 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF
self keeps it secret and is unwilling to give it up. So what is bad about the 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF
Meditating on your intent to face it and give it up is an activity of the part 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF
between the outer and the inner you. You give up the struggle between the outer and the 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF
more possibilities to unfold and experience good, to give and receive good. That is the miracle of 136 THE ILLUSORY FEAR OF THE SELF
