Let Us Fear Ourselves
Change the outcome of the fight with what you represent to the world, preventing any intrusion in the space of your own manifestation.
Bishop Myriel went to his poor mountaineer boys with empty hands and came back with them full. He left with only his faith in God and brought the treasures of a cathedral. He said:
"Let us never fear thieves and murderers. They are only outside threats, small threats. Let us fear ourselves. The prejudices – behold the thieves; the vices – behold the murderers. The great threats are within us. It bears no significance what threatens our head or wealth. Let us think only of what threatens our soul.
And the priest should not take any precautionary measure against his neighbor. All his neighbor does is with God’s will. Let us limit ourselves to praying to God when we imagine a threat is about to befall us. Let us pray, not for ourselves, but for our brother not to fall into sun because of us." *
Does the meaning you grant to the boundary between security and vulnerability have the expression of "spiritual awakening", fact which makes the distinction between what is durable and what is passing?
Any approach to the concept of value has its origin in the subjectivism of your own person, in the willingness to engage in a fight not so much with the object of your consciousness, but especially with went into habit. That is, with the presence of grace or sin, with the absence of good or evil, with the outcome of the fight with yourself, with the demons of your life, with the unpredictable of a new experience that makes you wonder if you have committed any mistakes that sabotage your efforts of maximizing the power to rise above the circumstances of life.
What you find throughout your life about yourself can be revealed under the appearance of a frightening “natural” if you fail to make compromises, if you fail to create an attraction between what is happening to you and how you react to what has been felt as an injustice of destiny. The freedom to respond effectively to the challenges of life is the combination of a prayer to God and the virtue of doing good in any action or decision that defines your position and intervention in the course of the world.
Durable is what you feel for yourself in the saddest circumstances of life with regard to the purpose you take in trying to prevent situations that do not put you in a good light. Passing is what makes you feel livelier when your only merit is to be generous with people who are strictly dependent on your good and sensitive side.
The main tool that allows the construction of leadership is the very possibility of building a horizon that will light the path you take in life, preventing any intrusion in the space of your own manifestation. And one that permanently limits the areas of negative contrast. The leader within you, fulfilling his mission of presenting world from a new perspective over the development of the quality of life, takes into account the very possibility of modeling the rationality claimed by others and its conscious processing in favor of an orientation towards a spiritual communion.
Can you evaluate your power to rise above the circumstances of life through the prism of what you are able to refuse from the very beginning in the stage of inner transformation along which you will attain the height of your possibilities to deal with the meanings of destiny?
Change generates a certain dose of resistance, not always favoring that rationality that seeks a foundation of stability and inner balance. But is rather determined by the existence of a mentality that threatens self-image and the very existence of man. Conscience supports this change, perfectly fitting that norm of rationality, which is faith, articulating itself especially on the image of good and evil that the leader constructs in the process of remodeling reality.
The meaning you attribute to the dividing line between safety and vulnerability has the phrase of "spiritual awakening" only when "outside threats" and "inside threats" do not cause a bottleneck in terms of ownership and identity preservation. Spiritual awakening is only a free form of constructing a new framework of operation and development.
To reconcile with yourself, you must refuse to compare yourself with others, especially if your journey does not coincide with their path.
Leadership generates a sense of vitality and belonging to a reality that incorporates that dimension of personality that you are willing to show to the world. Bishop Myriel has reached the height of his possibilities to deal with the meanings of his destiny when he realizes he is an exception to the rest of the world, his belief being a graduation of any guilt that could have been the object of an endless remorse.
Leadership is presented to the conscience of man under the power of a destiny that finds its meaning in all the facts you are willing to accept as a favor of providence to differentiate yourself from the rest of the world and to reconcile yourself with its adversities.
Let Us Fear Ourselves highlights that blockage that may occur in our inner forum, when we let ourselves be dominated by fear, by our own prejudices. What certainly does not lose value over time is the spiritual power of man, opened before any change, which gives him an identity and helps him overcome the conditionings of society.
