BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE RUNNING AWAY
Finding the courage to go to the places that scare us cannot happen without compassionate inquiry into the workings of ego.

But do we understand that becoming familiar with the running away is the key? Openness doesnt come from resisting our fears but from getting to know them well.
