Alive in the uncomfortable zone

Stagnancy occurs in the comfort zone...a fear of moving beyond what the current mindset clings to. But freedom and aliveness can only occur beyond the wall of what's familiar to the small mind. Expansion only happens when the shell of the mindset is broken, when the defense mechanisms arise and we're willing to just be with the uncomfortable feelings of what the mind tells us and tries to cling on to. To hear the Truth and feel the squirming within, to question just maybe we could be wrong, to allow the mind to expand to an acceptance of other possibilities.The Truth is what the small mind least wants to hear but Is ultimately what shatters the shell and allows the Real Self to be born.
