You could say our life is an instrument that picks up on the wavelengths coming from within. Like a radio that can only play what it receives, our outer experiences can only reflect our inner self. In other words, all the disharmonies and conflicts that show up “out there” in life are always a reflection of what is really going on inside us. We will start to see this is true when we start to face into our inner illusions.
“Perhaps you can see the tree that you light as a symbol of many, many candles that have to be lit and be aflame within you, to bring the total consciousness to its eternal glow on the outer level of your manifest existence. Each recognition, each insight, each honest admission, each shedding of a partial mask, each breaking through of a defense, each step of courage and honesty where you take responsibility for your negativity, is a lighting of yet another candle. You bring light into your soul by bringing truth into your dark.”
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.
