This longing to know ourselves at a deeper level—at the level of the divine kernel itself—means we must access the realm of feelings. We fear, however, that this is a bottomless pit of meaningless bleakness, unknown terror, unreasonable violence and selfishness. Yes, such layers of negativity do exist in us. But they are a thin veneer compared to our true unlimited depths.
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.
The only way out is to stop resisting, and turn and face ourselves. The way to the other side is by entering the stream. That’s the healthy struggle. We must let our difficult emotions float freely to the surface so we can discover we have nothing to fear from them.
