It is not until we look fear in the face that we can understand that fear is a personal decision. The truth is; your negative emotions such as fear need to be faced and deflected. This comes from connection! Connection to what is a question you must ask yourself. As this is a personal journey and you are the only one who can go through it.
If you look back at Christian Religious text’s they state that all saints have to go through Hell and fight the “devil”. I will break down this myth in a few ways, as there is great value in this statement from a Metaphysical sense. Many saints spoke of the Universal Laws that I am speaking about; Saint Thomas Aquinas was one of the best known and knew the Law of Attraction as his innate relationship with the creator.
As far as the Bullshit guy with a tail that he supposedly battled, doesn’t exist anywhere besides in the minds of man. Where the darkest aspects of yourself serve as your greatest teacher and should be appreciated for the contrast to view preference and has helped you make choices. Deepak Chopra has been quoted as saying that “Healthy People do not have the need for the devil”. As he took it one step further by saying belief in a source outside of you that makes things happen for good or bad dis-Empowers yourself.This all leads back to the acceptance of your role as the creator of your own reality.
This battle took place in Saint Thomas’ mind as he defeated his fears and insecurities to become a saint or enlightened being. This is also very evident in the amazing Mother Theresa who was not only enlightened but was the catholic religions biggest critic and went against the Vatican many times. To make a long story short she decided to show compassion to people of all belief systems and told the pope to shove it when she was instructed to only help Christians. Her saint hood was not because of her Catholic morals it was because of her bravery to stand up to anyone or anything that stood in her way of bringing love to people. She openly stated many times she followed Jesus' teachings and interpreted it in a metaphysical sense.
Enlightenment is not just a western Ideal as the parallels to both cultures are similar when you read the text's yourself and meditate on them in a personal and meaningful way. It is 2010 and whatever your excuse is loose it as it does not serve you anymore. Do not let others tell you what things mean to you. That is your decision to make!
Are you brave enough to stand up to your devil and become who you are? Are you still afraid of something that isn’t even there? Are you willing to look inside to find out what connection is?
