To break with a pattern of behavior, to extricate the self from a situation that is no longer healthy is often a slow and daunting process. There are those who can simply walk away and there are those who must struggle in place, but in both cases the real crux of the issue that one seeks to leave and move on from must still be dealt with. More often than not it is really something embedded deeply inside the self, a hidden fear, idea or insecurity that must itself be extricated from its own hideout and sent on its way.

To hide out from life in fear and insecurity is really only detrimental to the self. In finding out the core issue that keeps happiness at bay, facing it and eradicating it through full exploration of it is most likely the only way to salvation. Do not fear that process, for deep within the self you will also find all the strength, safety and trust you need. Trust yourself enough and you can do anything.

It is never too late to make a commitment to the self, but it may take more than just stating a decision. Long held thoughts, ideas, judgments and criticisms about the self must be released first if one is to truly allow the self a new experience of life. Life is full of opportunities waiting to be explored. They are always there. Where are you? In going out to meet them be fully aware of what you seek so that it may find you.

Human desire is a longing for wholeness. Few realize this. Addiction is desire for wholeness. To desire, to want, to seek intensely reveals this. But what is wholeness really except the absence of all desire, for nothing in the human world will bring wholeness. True wholeness exists only within the self alone. Emptiness is wholeness. Lack of any desire or need is wholeness. Wholeness is spirit in alignment, freed to be a vital part of life. Seek wholeness not in the world but within, where all lies waiting.

Not all beings are interested in that which lies beyond physical reality, but the truth is, sooner or later all beings will find themselves there. Is it not beneficial to at least be curious? The truth is that it is rare to be totally closed to the idea of other realms of existence, for the human mind is curious even if the physical body is afraid. Fear, however, is as much an enigma as the possibility of other realities. Nothing is real until it is experienced. Seek experience over dogma. It’s all that really matters, as proof and truth lie in experience.
