Fear of the unknown is the greatest fear of all. We all want
certainty and yet uncertainty is the one constant variable in the world. You
never know with any certainty when a crisis will hit. Just remember what might
be meaningful today may be meaningless tomorrow.
In yoga it is said there
are three major fears and that all other fears stem from these three fears. And
they are:
Fear of not being accepted
Fear of not being loved
Fear of dying
We as humans do everything we can to be accepted, to be loved
and to live, and yet we fear all of these three fears more than anything else
in the world. Why is Corona Virus a
crisis? It’s because we fear the
unknown.
We must all face rejection. Not always being accepted is a
part of life. We cannot always be accepted for our thoughts, ideals, political
views, religious ideologies or even simply who we are. And that’s ok because we
in turn don’t unconditionally accept everyone and everything either. Acceptance
is within you. Accept who you are for there are only two things you cannot
change and that are your individuality and your family of origin. Celebrate
you!
Everyone, at some point in time, has the fear of not being
loved. What we really fear is that we are not good enough to deserve love. You
cannot demand love, but you can be the love you desire. When you reach out from
within and extend a hand of compassion, understanding, kindness and caring into
the world, love grows. Stop looking to be loved and become the love you seek
and you will discover that love is not something to fear. It’s available for
everyone; there’s no shortage like the toilet paper on the shelves!
To live you must be willing to die. No one escapes life
without dying. Everything in the universe
must die. That does not mean we do stupid things to put ourselves in harm’s way,
but as I said recently to someone who ask me if I thought about dying, “if I spend
my time thinking about dying I will forget how to live.”
In this time of uncertainty fear of the unknown has paralyzed
the world. But if we can accept and make peace with the fact; things happen,
things go up and go down, things come and go and that life is an ever renewing
source of energy ,than we can let go of fear, find liberation and not let
corona virus beat us, but let it unite us. In the worst of a crisis the compassion and
kindness of humanity springs worth reminding us that we are accepted, loved and
alive! We are more than fear. The
greatest fear of all is fear itself. So
keep your balance. Don’t let the crisis of life uproot you. Corona Virus -this too will pass.
Namaste ~ may you go with health, happiness and peace
