PRISON VS. FREEDOM

Limitations engrained in your character can be used either as a personal prison or as a road to personal freedom.
The Ego's unconscious response to its personal weaknesses is to be ashamed of them, to feel guilty and to wish to hide them away from itself and the world. However, since they are fact they do not disappear by such behaviour but are remaining an unconscious, because they are being repressed, part of the self. And because there are power-obsessed individuals living in this world who need others to rule over and to employ in the realization of their egotistical schemes, in feeling unconsciously guilty you are becoming an unwilling victim to their domineering influence. In addition, this has the unwanted effect of deepening your already existing sense of guilt and your fear of consciously facing your personal weaknesses. Accordingly, you are feeling bound and unable to live freely.
Whereas if you are aware of your personal shortcomings and willing to deal with them consciously they are transformed into opportunities for personal growth and expansion. This simply requires your acceptance of their existence, the willingness to take personal responsibility for their current presence in your character and the sincere wish to work towards perfecting yourself.

LOVE ME FOR A REASON

The Ego is unconsciously aware that love has the power to bestow immortality. And because its greatest fear is to die, it is instinctively seeking after love. However, for as long as the Ego is clinging to the reasons for why it is believing itself to be loved, death remains imminently close and fear remains the dark shadow of the love it is experiencing. Only when the reason for feeling loved is an all-encompassing, unconditional love that is being felt inside your own self, does love make you immortal. Of course, your Ego is still going to die its timely death but because you have released your fears death changes from a threat into a promise.

LOVE LOVE

There is a kind of love which unifies and unites and one that renders us poignantly - at times even painfully - aware of boundaries, limitations and our separateness. The mastership of true loving is to attain the awareness of the first and to henceforth exist in this state even whilst passing through personal experiences of the love that separates.
