To remove the emotional and mental obstacles that are in the way of our personal well-being and soul experience.
Soul is. It is what we put in its' way that keeps us from experiencing it.
Our anxiety, depression, sense of meaningless-ness and purposelessness can also be seen as loss of soul.
By being willing to own and grapple with personal pain, we act on our commitment to deepen our relationship with soul and to open our hearts to love.
Love and fear are two primary feelings. We can identify with either.
Fear is not only fear of another, but fear of our reaction to another - which is fear of ourselves.
We can work with our fear of life, of loneliness, of existential boredom so that we can release them and move through our inner barriers that block our experience of love.
Today I will work with my inner pain and fear.
Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all of the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. ~ A Course in Miracles
