희망과 두려움

"You cannot be living in conflict and hope to have a world of peace."

"When you are hiding, you want to forget you are hiding because hiding is fearful and not really fun.You do not want to be fearful all the time, so you try to make hiding fun. But it is not fun, for you are alone and estranged in a very harsh reality that you hope will be kind to you.You hope there is a God, but you hope that you will not meet God today because meeting God today would be too much. But you hope that God is there when you need God. It is like being a child who does not want to be around his or her parents but hopes the parents are there in case trouble arises."

"Because fulfillment is always being threatened by everything, hope and fear become the preoccupying factors of your life—hope that you will have more tomorrow and fear of losing what you have today.The only way that you can participate in hope and fear is to be completely absorbed in your own thinking, which is what separation means. Here in this world it is hoped that technological advancement will erase all difficulties in life, but that is not the case.

"Some people think this means that they can be passive and hope that some day God will do something for them—hopefully tomorrow, not today, and that if they sit back, God will give them some great avenue to travel."
