the lock

There are 2 types of fear, both legitimate fear and illegitimate fear.

When a tiger comes near you, there is fear, and it is a legitimate fear. The fear of future is not legitimate. In fact it is interesting, even exciting, not to know about the future.

As children we dont have fear. Elders sow the concept of fear. Then fear becomes a part of us. A child easily falls. Then a fear is installed. Slowly as the child grows up she is afraid to fall. The body becomes rigid and resists a graceful fall.

Emotional lock? Intellectual lock?

whatever :)

as long as it allow you to grow in love, in silence and joy. We just have to learn to frame an experience in such a way that there is growth.

Its March. Wow.
