Crossing The River Of Fear

The essential journey home to a balanced S(s)elf involves crossing the river of fear on a bridge of trust. This process occurs not only on a daily basis, but in every moment when a person is fully conscious of his/her interaction with the outer world.

Some aspect of “the crossing” is always happening in daily life; new opportunities for personal transformation are being presented with every breath of our life.

The responsibility of a person in recovery of a balanced S(s)elf is to envision this journey as a way of life, a way of being in every present moment.

Simply stated, "being in the present moment" means a conscious awareness of BOTH logical thoughts and feelings --an objective and subjective reality. A person must "live in the gap" where chronological time, past and future, momentarily ceases to exist.

What "seems to be real" when interpreted by the rational mind, prone to survival fear, must be challenged and balanced by the intuitive mind, prone to trust UNconditional caring. The rational mind creates a belief system that is too often linked to psychological past memories of pain(resentments) and future expectations(fears) of a re-occurrence of similar "actually experienced past pain."

Can You Fully Accept Your S(s)elf?

Love yourself the way you are.

Do not envy anybody. If you do not like yourself, make changes in your life. Anger, insults, and criticism of yourself and others are very harmful to your health. If you make a decision, act on it. Joyfully help the poor, ill, and elderly. Never think about diseases, old age, or death. Love is the best remedy against illness and aging. Gluttony, greed, and inability to overcome your weaknesses are your enemies. Worrying causes you to leave this world. Fear and corruption are the worst sins. The best day of your life is today. The best town is where you feel fortunate. The best occupation is the one you enjoy. Losing hope is the worst mistake. The greatest gift you can give or receive is love. Health is your most valuable possession.

How To S(s)elf Balance

We can balance our S(s)elves and live peacefully by practicing nine balancing actions in our daily living. A mantra for achieving this balance is

1. I can alter my perception of any life situation, if I ACCEPT PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY for this change.
2. I can become what I desire, if I TRUST AN INNER CORE of strength.
3. I can authentically express who I am, if I COMMIT TO BALANCE my S(s)elf, and fully accept It just as It is, in the present moment.
4. I can acquire peaceful beliefs, attitudes, feelings, and behaviors, if I CHALLENGE MY RESENTMENTS AND FEARS.
5. I can RELEASE THESE OBSTACLES, if they are unfounded and block my inner peace.
6. I can support outer peace, if I UNDERSTAND AND ACCEPT that others may behave, at any moment, with an unbalanced, fear-based mind.
7. I can establish interpersonal relationships that support my authentic S(s)elf expression, if I REVIEW AND REPAIR them regularly.
8. I can maintain my inner peace, if I PRACTICE THE BALANCING of my fear-based, rational mind and trust-based, intuitive mind.
9. I can create planetary peaceful living, if from my inner peace and with limits, I GENUINELY CARE for every other person and the planet.
