Rest in Peace

Fear is a funny thing.  You do anything you can to avoid it because you fear being afraid.  You worry about things that might or might not happen, creating as assortment of frightening scenarios in your mind.  These become contagious.  You always have a choice—to be afraid or at peace, but so many choose the fear.  Why?  Because it is the easiest option.

Did you ever think about this?  How easy it is to run and hide, to avoid, to worry.  These things keep the mind occupied and focused on the self, keeping one believing he or she is helpless and powerless.   Ah, are you beginning to see the work of something you recognize here?  Yes, fear is a mighty tool of the ego.  It is one of ego’s favorite ways of keeping you enslaved.

If you truly recognized your innate Power and the peace that underlies your current reality, you would bypass ego completely and go straight to the silence, into the heart, where fear has no hold.  Rest in peace, my friend.  This is far more than a phrase you say to the dying.  It is one of the greatest spiritual directives for those who choose to truly live.
