Hi there! Let’s dive into a topic that seems heavy. Yet, it is as relevant as the air we breathe — perfect justice and protection. Now, before you roll your eyes or check your phone for distractions, hang with me. We’re going to explore thoughts that will change how you view fear and power. They will also redefine your place in this wild adventure called life.
Ego and Fear
If you’re feeling afraid, it is usually tied up in your ego. It’s like that pesky little voice in your head that says, ” Hey! You need to look out for number one!” But here’s the kicker: being out of your center usually amplifies those fears. When you’re juggling expectations or chores, it’s easy to lose your footing. Trying to save everyone from the chaos around you can also cause you to stumble. The moment we start viewing ourselves as separate from the world, we begin to feel vulnerable, threatened even.
In a world filled with chaos and wickedness, it’s easy to think you need to armor up. You feel this is necessary to protect yourself. You get caught in this cycle. When you feel the danger in the world, the more you’ll mirror the very dangers you’re trying to evade. You can become part of the evil and be susceptible to it. Wicked people are susceptible to bigger wicked people. As they say, “It’s the big fish eating the little fish.” Those wicked folks out there often prey on one another, creating a ripple of harm that can feel overwhelming. But hold on, there’s a different way to navigate this madness.
Finding Your Center
Imagine for a moment that you can step back from all the noise and chaos of the world. When you come under a different order, life starts to look a little different. This order is one of perfect justice and protection. You’ll find yourself living in the “shadow of the valley of death,” yet feeling okay about it. Why? Because your focus shifts from worrying about saving yourself to simply finding your center.
This doesn’t mean that you ignore the issues or put blinders on to the evils around you. Instead, it means redirecting that energy toward yourself. This includes the anxiety, the panic, and the obsession with self-preservation, channeling them back to your center. Is there an imperfection or a failing you’re worried about? That’s simply human. We all have our moments, and that’s part of the journey. But if you take the time to center yourself, you’ll find justice and protection. They exist perfectly, independent of your fears.
So how do you do that? It starts with awareness. Recognize when fear is creeping in and ask yourself why? What part of your ego is getting rattled? Then, try to ground yourself. Meditation, mindfulness, or simply taking a deep breath can help. The more you settle into your core, the less you’ll find yourself susceptible to the chaos around you.
Summary
Feeling threatened often means you’re identifying too closely with the world. Let go of that identification and instead focus on cultivating peace and balance within. You’ll start to step into perfect protection. This doesn’t mean you’ll avoid challenges; it means you’ll face them with a resilience that’s rooted deep within.
In the end, when you focus on finding your center, you stop constantly guarding against the world’s dangers. You’ll discover something amazing: the world becomes a lot less scary. Perfect justice and protection aren’t just lofty ideas; they can be your reality if you choose to make that shift.
So next time fear creeps in, remember—it’s just a call to return to your center. Use that energy wisely, and watch as the darkness turns into a dance of light and grace.
