“Love, for the common person, is an idea that they have learnt, where they’re only being ‘nice’ or being ‘pleasing’ to others in order to be a loving person. That is the illusion that they live with when their mind is closed to Love. It is only when one's mind is closed to Love that one will seek love from looking to be loved by being ‘nice’ or ‘pleasing’ to others. That’s love with an agenda, with a condition. True Love does not have agendas or conditions." – Amir Zoghi –

We generally have peculiar notions about death, especially in the West. Elegant funeral homes are comfortable and tastefully furnished. The corpse of the deceased is embalmed and then primped by the undertaker before it is presented in an open coffin.

As the saying goes, “Familiarity breeds contempt.” However, the ego thrives on routine and clings to what is familiar. In the face of uncertainty, ego is as skittish as a spooked horse. To move beyond fear, be aware of fear as it arises. Watch closely when the slightest stirrings of unease and apprehension begin to provoke alarm. Practicing this way, you will begin to confront your worst fears.
