It’s a very delicate task to interpret things like ego and fear because
we tend to interpret from where we’re sitting, and we’ve developed these
structures around it.
The root of fear is the feeling of separateness that can exist within
oneself. The root of fear is within the model one has of oneself. That’s
where fear starts. Once that feeling of separation exists, then you
process everything from either inside or outside in terms of that model.
Then it keeps reinforcing the feeling of vulnerability, because there
are incredibly powerful forces moving both inside and outside of you.
The transformative process of spiritual work is reawakening to the
innocence of going behind that model of separation that one has, that
cuts you off, that made you a tiny little fragile somebody. A lot of the
power comes from a freeing of our own fragility.
