What does it mean that hope is as hollow as fear?
Hope and fear are both phantoms that arise from thinking of the self. What do we have to fear when we don't see the self as self? See the world as yourself, have faith in the way things are, and love the world as yourself; then, you can care for all things.

Rumi was once asked:
What do you "gain" from praying to God regularly?
He replied:
Usually, "I don't earn anything," but rather, "I lose certain things."
And he quoted everything he lost praying to God regularly
I lost my pride
I lost my arrogance
I lost my anger
I lost stress
I lost greed
I lost the pleasure of lying
I lost the taste of sin
I lost the impatience
I lost to despair and discouragement
Sometimes we pray not to gain something but to lose things that don't allow us to grow personally and spiritually.

I woke up with this word today:
"Hollowness"
What does it mean? I ask,
-The empty space.
-Nothing but consciousness exists.
-There is no-body
At that moment, you trust that you are exactly where you need to be, trusting so deeply that you release that need of "Trust." You just know it.

I questioned myself what do we mean by "the light is at the end of the tunnel" what do we really mean by it? And why light HAS to be found at the end of the tunnel?
When we were in our mom's womb, there wasn't any light, we were fed, protected, taken care of, and loved by the purest source. The darkness is where we were conceived. So why are we always talking about light? Are we afraid what darkness holds for us?
The darkness is where everything was found and created. Think about it, when we have a gloomy day usually a breakthrough shows up the very next day or so. So why is darkness so overlooked?
Words have so much power and wisdom. Darkness is only the absence of light. We talk about light workers, the way showers and so on... Those are the people who went through their darkness to be who they are.
I have been going into my darkness and I feel I am shining more and more. It is just a word, remove any judgement around it, then embrace it, and fall in love with it. Watch the miracle of it.

Going down hills was so much fun when we were young. The truth is we trusted 100% that it's fun, someone will catch us, and there is only excitement and joy.
So why are we so afraid to go downhill is so difficult for us as adults? Where did the same adults we used to trust within us, GO? Who do we pretend to be infront of our next generation as an adult (Circle of life)?
Just because we learn to give up that joyful excitement part of us as adult, due to learned behaviors? We were born with that awareness already. Anytime we go through difficulties in life, remember it can also be a fun ride. So ride it with full confidences and see what beauty holds in that downhill joyful place. Trust there is always someone to catch you, see the joy and excitement of it.
Learn to trust within, be fun and see what magical things can be created from that space. And enjoy the joyful ride in every moment.
