Virtue Compulsion = Basic Fear But our Basic Desire, a good and holy drive in and of itself, too often becomes warped by our insecurities and doubts that we can ever find our way home. This mentality feeds into our Basic Fear—that we’ll never return to our True Self and that we’ll stay stuck in the dream, just as Dorothy got stuck in Oz. This fear is experienced as a compulsion, thus our “Virtue Compulsion.” Like all fears, it is only as powerful as we allow it to be. But like all fears, it clouds our vision of our True Self and our way home.
