Fear of connection

I find pieces of myself in life in everyway of life as it is.

I always dreamed of being complete as a child. I never really felt the world supported me in ways where I could be myself and feel that completeness.


Letting go of the world and all that which layered over the real Me opened me to feel my own connection and what that felt like. This view of being was about releasing all views from within me and open all feelings attached so I could feel what it felt like to feel life in me separate to me yet a part of me as one.

The freedom to feel the world now as it is, see it as it is and still be open in feeling and seeing has been the greatest gift I could have ever gained in living this life.

Fear was my stranglehold so fear was the way in which I had to address everything in me. Fear of fear was my greatest teacher.

And yes I had to let go of that in me as my teacher. To know what being open beyond fear/others/attachments felt like.


I like feeling now. Its clear and open and I don't need to hide from the world.

I get to enjoy the world as I am now.

Aware of life as it is, discerning naturally where I need to be, enjoy it as my joy of being allows and always remembering fear was my greatest teacher.


To know myself I had to know fear fully. I had to know how it lurked in everyway inside me, from every angle, every hidden corner of my thoughts, feelings and attachments. Everything exposed over and over to show me fear's face, so then I could come to know myself in all that in everyway I was in caught up in all that.

I do not fear connection anymore, simply because I do not fear, fear or myself anymore.

And that brings me much peace to be myself as the full connection now. :)

I also had a problems, in the beginning, of letting , what I thought of at the time, as my religion. I thought "God" would forgive me going for beyond the bible teaching and daring to ask questions. When I finally let go of MANS dogma, the universe opened up. It wasn't God who had been wrong, it was man who was wrong and , now, it's so clear. What an amazing journey we walk.

Thankyou Warrioress, I missed your post.

Letting go of mans dogma and the universe opening is a such a wonderful feeling.

Life is an amazing journey into realizations that deepen every day.

But one thing I never lose sight of, is the gift of understanding beyond mans dogma and what it brings into my life and world from knowing it then letting it go in a more complete understanding of life.

And how I can be.
