Fear

Today, at the Friend’s meeting especially, and during the last couple of weeks, I have been given a great deal of praise for my writing and ideas.  I wrote an article on “The Importance Of Connecting” for the Sun Paper, which several people have commented on and others have commented on my “Daily Journal” blog.  It may be strange, but deep in my gut a part of me screams “DANGER!!”, in response to the praise.  My belief is that I have used such praise in past lives to feed my own ego’s sense of power, and to dominate other people and then experienced negative consequences.  I do not wish to do that this time around.  As I said yesterday, I want people to understand and act on things like love, compassion, understanding and connectedness.
