    Have you ever limited yourself with what you thought was a power at the time you started it?

    You have always believed that the better people feel about you, the better you can feel about yourself. However, you may have never really considered that the opposite of this belief must hold equally and unhappily true, and that is: The less you are approved by others, the more alone and uncertain you feel.

You're invited to eat all you want, but no matter how much imaginary food is served, you can never get your fill. Your hunger remains. No fictional feast ever satisfies.

    Here is a great, but unseen, psychological Truth that once realized sets us upon the true spiritual path leading to Real Love and its Perfect Freedom: What frightens us about others is what we want from them; and what we want (from others) is largely what we have imagined is in their power to either give to us, do to us, or withhold from us. And so, whether we live with the fear of our love...

    Topics covered: As long as you are afraid of life, you have not accomplished anything, despite how much you believe you have accomplished; It is a nightmare to believe that you have to endlessly prove yourself, over and over again; There is an immense difference between trying to prove yourself, and trying to be yourself. We have mistaken "proving yourself" for "being yourself." The world does not know anything about what it means to "be yourself."
