I shouldn't steal in this world.

How do you react when you think you need people's love? Do you become a slave for their approval?

As you inquire into issues and turn judgments around, you come to see that every perceived problem appearing "out there" is really nothing more than a misperception within your own thinking.

What would it be like to let go of wanting things to be other than they are?

The world isn't what I've believed it to be, and I am not what I believed me to be, and neither is anyone.

That's the purpose of stress. It's a friend. It's an alarm clock, built in to let you know that it's time to do The Work.

That's where the fear comes from-from your uninvestigated thoughts.
