Eliminating Worry
In life, worry is unavoidable. But there is a deeper worry, an existential anxiety that is inextricably linked to the belief of being a finite, separate entity, vulnerable to death and the vagaries of a hostile or indifferent universe.
When the belief of being a limited awareness is gone, existential fear dissipates. The fear of non-existence, the anxiety of ultimate separation, loses its grip.
In the absence of fear, inner peace arises. We sense the stability and equanimity at our core.
All that is truly needed is the cessation of the existential worry that we are separate beings. Worries will still arise, but they no longer carry the same weight. They become issues to be addressed, not threats.
The recognition of our limitless nature doesn't exempt us from the human experience; it liberates us from the underlying fear which colors the experience.
The peace that passes all understanding is the quiet certainty of the unbounded Self.
