“As you penetrate deep into your interior self, beyond the chatter of your mind, you free your soul—yourself—from the illusions that have held you captive all your life. Many of those illusions are painful, but recognizing them for what they are is liberating.

In meeting your soul, you are getting out of a type of earthbound madness. You are allowing yourself to live the rest of your life without fear of what will become of you on this Earth. That alone is a worthy goal—to live fearlessly.

You come to realize that you can take care of yourself because you are in touch with your interior self, detached from everyday fears and insecurities. Within you is an unquenchable desire to live a wildly free life in which you are liberated from the self-imposed restrictions that come from the fear of humiliation and the fear of others’ opinions, including your own self-critical nature. That is fearless bliss.

So, with that goal in mind, take a moment now to pray. You are beginning your journey into your soul. You and your soul are alone with God. Bless this journey that you are on. And bless you.”
