If we are not concerned about what other people think…if we are secure in ourselves and true to ourselves, as we are right now…if we have the courage to be what and who we are, then fear can’t touch us. When we feel shy, then, we are unconsciously afraid that others will see we are not how we pretend to be.
This spiritual path works from the outside in. It must. Because the outer layers of our psyche are what we have direct access to.

How did we get so lost?
One could say that God is who created spiritual laws. But it would be more correct to say God is spiritual laws. They are kind and loving, letting us choose whether to follow them. More aptly, we get to choose how much pain we want to tolerate.
