Fear of Personal Change
Posted: Fri Sep 11, 2015 7:03 am
Hi all,
I'm focussed on this topic at the moment as i've realised it is the key area for me if I am going to progress towards God and grow in love. By ‘Fear of Change’ I am referring to three interconnected emotional issues that Cornelius discussed in talks presented at Assistance Groups in 2014.
1. Lack of Faith
- In God
- In myself
2. Fear of Emotional Overwhelm
3. Resistance to God’s Truth
20140712 Fear Of Change
20140728 Fear Of Change
Sometimes I now call these ‘Corny’s 3’
I found it really helpful to hear Mary share about her experience with deconstructing these emotions (2:35 into the following presentation).
20140731 Challenging Addictions
It’s becoming clear to me that I’m not going to demonstrate much sincerity about my personal and permanent soul change until I begin to release these blocking emotions. I’ve also been growing in awareness that not releasing these emotions is the cause of much of the pain in my day to day life: I make unloving choices even though I am aware this is wrong, I live in addictions holding onto my pain instead of feeling it, I resist opening my heart to God in prayer, I leave myself open to suppression and influence from spirits who also don’t want me to change.
I'm interested in discussing this topic as it seems to be such a key one that lays the groundwork for us to learn about love and engage with God. I’d be very keen to hear from people who have begun to work on these issues, about anything they feel could help a person who is yet to make that shift. Like what helped you get into the blocking emotions? What was the thing you did or were going through just before making the shift?
Thanks,
Kate
