PWK # 72: THE FEAR OF LOVING

"As you all know, at least theoretically and intellectually, love is the greatest power in the universe. Every spiritual teaching or philosophy, every religion, even modern psychology proclaims this truth. Love is the one and only power. With it you are mighty, you are strong, you are safe. Without it you are poor, you are separate; you are isolated and fearful. However, this knowledge cannot really help you until you discover where deep inside yourself you cannot love, you do not want to love, and you do not know why you resist loving."

"Your desire for love and the lack of it is the result of the experience of the child in you. Realizing this will clarify in what way you fall short of loving wherever your conflicts and misconceptions exist."

"In the gradual process of growth and maturity, you will not immediately experience the great, encompassing love your soul strives for."

What is real love?

Where do we unconsciously worry that real love means giving up our dignity, self-government, and freedom?

Let's talk about how we can take steps to mature love, give up our immature demands and face ourselves with self compassion.

Join Cyndy and other curious souls for an exploration into where we may have a misconception about love.
