What many people tend to forget is that all external sources of security can disappear in the blink of an eye and they don't have any control over that no matter how hard they try. If they are too reliant on these external sources of security and resist going within to their internal everlasting source of security, they may end up living in anxiety and fear. These people need to take time out and go within to cultivate a relationship with their inner selves to find that internal everlasting source of security.
Going within means addressing any unresolved issues, unexpressed emotions, or certain truths we must face. There are many people who may believe this process of addressing what they need to is not important enough or they may believe they just don't need to address it at all. There are even more people who may feel overwhelmed by this process or may simply be afraid of it.
The importance of going within to address what we need is vital - it is one of our soul's purpose. Without it, we can't truly be happy as our denial may cause depression and isolation. If we keep ignoring the call to go within, we may face a "dark night of the soul". This is a phrase used to describe a period of our lives filled with such deep despair that we are ultimately forced to go within to search our soul.
Nobody is ever excluded from the need for this process of going within, not even the greatest of spiritual healers and teachers. There is no room for arrogance as there is always more to find, heal, and release. An arrogant person will often be faced with much pain before they admit they need to address what is unresolved within themselves.
People who are overwhelmed and afraid of this process cut themselves off from receiving the very thing that could bring them security, peace, love and joy. They may feel overwhelmed and afraid by such things as unexpressed deep emotions. Emotions of grief, loss, and even deep love can be terrifying for some people to feel and express. They may believe their feelings are so overwhelming that if they allow them to flow, they won't survive. Or they may be afraid to face something they know deep down is true. These people need help understanding that they will survive this process and discover they are stronger than they believed.
In order to have a life filled with security, peace, love and joy, we must be willing to go within and address our unresolved issues, unexpressed emotions, or face certain truths. As we do this, we cultivate a relationship with our inner selves and find we have the inner strength we need to stay centered despite any, negativity, fear, or want that surrounds us. With so much uncertainty present around us, we need this inner strength now more than ever.
