Security is an Illusion

We all want security, to be free from care and protected. Some seek it in money, others protection from the environment, most seek it in other people. We feel that if we are loved, all will be grand.
Just like control, security is an Illusion of our own psychological making. We build up all these fantastic beliefs in our head about being free from care. We build structures in our lives, like a pillow to protect us from the blows of life.
I am reminded of the movie "Sandlot," where mom was so afraid her boy would get hurt so she wrapped him in bubble wrap and cushions. Those very structures trap us, they are limiting. How can you bend your arm, when you have bubble wrapped yourself so tightly you cannot move.
That padding you have in the bank: that love you experience; the extra shampoo and toilet paper... could go away in just one intake of breath. So how do you know you are stuck in the illusion?
Ask yourself these questions:
Where do you find yourself focusing the most on in fear of lack?
What are the things that you find yourself in a panic over if it goes away?
Why are you anxious that it will disappear in your life?
What can you do to reduce the anxiety in your brain?
How are you attached to this security?
Security and control go hand in hand my friends. When you realize it is a product of nature to take and give you stop relying on your need for security and can focus on what matters most.
In the end of the day, it is love... pure unconditional love...
