All these years of my practice have taught me that the one
single enemy within is insecurity. It is like the nucleus of an amoeba. Everything
undesirable emerges from it.
I can be insecure about innumerable things. Starting at
birth, with my environment. Maybe, I was not a wanted child. The family never
accepted me. Maybe, I grew up in isolation...a neglected child. Could be my
family was financially not sound and I had to pinch pennies....and
circumstances like this....
People seldom realize what has transpired in the lives of
individuals they meet or know, and how and why they have become the way they
are today...
Character and personality are not traits only from one life.
We have multiple personalities living within us. Kids who display certain
qualities don't do it coincidentally. There is always a good reason.
So, insecurities build up from childhood, not only because
of incidents that happen in this life but also those from other lives that we
are here to neutralize.
An analysis of these insecurities will bring up effects like
anger, complexes, diffidence, lack of self worth, envy , jealousy etc.
In fact, insecurities are directly proportionate to the self
image. Feeling good and worthwhile is important to survival. And self image is
generally based on the illusory self and therefore, cannot sustain itself, as
all illusions cannot and do not.
So, try the antidote to insecurity. Strip away the surface
layers of reactions one by one. Realize the power of love as being able to
achieve miracles and discard anything that your soul within revolts at. Listen
to the voice of the soul from within and understand what the Universe tells you
about your life and how to live it. Gradually, you will succeed in dropping all
insecurity, the biggest being that of the inevitability of death.
