Cluj-Napoca, Romania (The following material is a chapter preview taken from our new book, A New World Awakens.)
You have inhabited a world of false beliefs for too long. For too long you have convinced yourself that you are unsafe, unloved, unprotected, and alone in the Universe. In a world built upon these untruths, you do not recognize the Love that you are, or the Love that unites you with others. Believing such falsehoods, you have not been able to follow the simplest teachings of wisdom: “Love your neighbor, as yourself” and “Do unto others, as you would have others do unto you”.Instead, you have chosen to believe in a world where the thought of knowing your neighbor is as frightening as the prospect of knowing yourself; where you attack everything you do not understand; and you are unable to recognize the Common Life that you share with others.

I found this article called “Comfort Lies,” by Aman Motwane, which is about our craving for comfort: our need and desire to hear comforting, reassuring words, instead of facing up to the reality of things.
Here’s a quote from it, “. . . face what you need to face and do what you need to do.”
I love this article because it gives such good advice. Avoidance of “what is,” means we’re not fully accepting the reality we have brought to ourselves; basically, it means we’re deluded, living in fantasy.
Yet, the more we face up to and accept ”what is,” right now, the more the light of our awareness heals the difficult situation. Our refusal to face something or someone always holds us in that situation or relationship, just as our avoidance of something or someone, will ensure it keeps on recurring or returning.
The website that the article “Comfort Lies,” is published on, is www.alive.com. Ms. Motwane has apparently written a book entitled, “WhenYou Change How You See The World, Your Whole World Changes.” Exactly right: perception is everything. Although I’ll have to add my two pence on that subject another day!
Go on. Have a read.
