Feel the fear, taste the craving and go beyond

Is fear really a bad thing?

Something “I” need to get rid of?

I hold my fear in my arms,

Gaze into her eyes,

Understand her vulnerability,

And then I go beyond!

I am neither this,

nor that,

I Am That I Am!

(Suzanne Yang)

I once felt the after-effects of a kundalini break-through linger for an entire week. Bliss-fully I walked around mumbling to myself, ‘the revolution is here and now!’ How can we return to this state? Do we even need to? Consciousness can always be experienced in the here and now. Yes, it’s the satori moment that takes our breath away, the feeling of love and Oneness that we are often blessed with. Yet, the bliss and love experienced in the outer world is only part of the ‘I Am That I Am’ state. Consciousness also reigns amidst the agony, the fear, the greed or the lust. The moment when the fears or longings of the ‘I’ want to take you for a ride is the perfect opportunity to reconnect with ‘I Am That I Am’. Feel the fear, taste the craving and go beyond!
