So these last few weeks I've been exploring how to relate with what I call the shadow

deities of fear and of all the emotions that are related to fear, jealousy, anger, shame that

come at a feeling separate, feeling like something's wrong, feeling like something's missing.

And in the last class we really explored how in the moments that we can remember belonging,

we can remember some sense of connectedness with another person, with the earth, with something

larger, we begin to dissolve the power of that emotion.

And the more alive that loving feeling is, that sense of true belonging, the more fully

we heal.

So fear as the antidote really.

As consciousness evolves, the way we experience loving changes.

So you can love is a really messy word and for now I'm just going to use it and say that

there's a range of experience of feeling that connection belonging or oneness.

And it can range from what I'll call a more constricted kind of ego loving, where there's

a sense of this self here who's loving something else.

And with that, because there's still some sense of separateness to the self, it's marbled

with fear and it's marbled with attachment, because that self has some insecurity and that's

quite natural.

We all know what that's like, ego fear.

But as we wake up, there's the potential to wake up a sense of loving that's quite

unconditional and quite boundless, quite free.

And last week after the class, I let a few exercises in the talk, I got an email from

someone who had touched into that and I wanted to share a little, I wanted to share pieces
