Understand the Ego Trap
Fear of Looking Within
“I don't want to look too closely inside. If I do, I'll find something dark, and doubt is safer than innocence.”
Watch Your Mind
Wrong-mindedness: The inner world is approached with suspicion and gentleness is treated as naive. Doubt feels more protective than innocent looking.
Right-mindedness: Vigilance belongs on the moment suspicion poses as intelligence. Gentle looking restores joining by refusing to interrogate the mind with fear.
Carry This With You
Gentleness is safer than the suspicion you call wisdom.
