Fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of getting sick, fear of dying, fear of losing a job, fear of failing, fear of not belonging. 

Fear numbs us, blocks our growth, paralyses our world and distorts reality.

Reality is love, only if you could see it. Every loss is an invitation to a new opportunity, every pain is an awakening, and not belonging is our soul calling.

So why is it that we have fear?  

Here is a statement that has completely shifted my mindset over the past few years.

"Recognise the other person is you" - taken from the Five Sutras of the Aquarian Age.

The questions that come to my mind are:

- Can we really know someone? fully without judgement? fully without filter? 

- Can someone ever know us? completely for who we are? purely without filters?

- Can we ever know our true inner-selves? without a cultural cloud? without learnt expectations of who we should be?
