A CURE FOR FEAR OF CHANGE
by Raphael
 
In these "interesting times," many of us feel rather lost. We're going someplace new and yet we don't know where we're going. Yes, there is something in the air. We are attaining higher states of awareness both in heart and mind, and at the same time the world appears to be heading for a chaos. Basically, everything is moving much faster than we thought. So, what can we do?

Many of us are looking for happiness outside of ourselves or in the future. The masters tell us to "be here now", but sometimes the "now" can seem too challenging. So we look to the future, and we look and strive until finally we discover where the ultimate ecstasy comes from: Our own heart! But how do we get there?  Click here to continue.
