AN OLD BACKPACK

In order to rid yourself of a hindering thought-/behaviour pattern you have to both consciously recognize it and to let go your hold of it. To become aware of it alone is not enough to overcome it because it does not resolve your identification with it. Your conscious recognition of a hindering thought-/behaviour pattern has to be followed up by non-identified observation of your own Self in order to overcome the obstacle in your Self and to let go your hold of it for good.
Metaphorically speaking: To be aware of the fact that you are carrying an old packpack on your back is not enough to be able to get rid of it. If you wish to do so you have to realize that you are only carrying it, that your existence is not dependent upon it and it is therefore no real part of you.

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.

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.
