Dare to Defeat the Demon of Anxiety!
In this series of questions taken from the opening night satsang of the retreat, Live Free of Anxiety! An Invitation to Sustained Serenity, Shunyamurti explains that to confront anxiety in a crazy and toxic world, it is important to be able to perceive that the world is a dream, not a self-standing objective reality. To find out who is dreaming this world requires wisdom and courage of the heart to recognize that one must turn inward to the source of consciousness in order to rise to higher levels. When the bubble of the ego is finally popped, anxiety will be replaced by total amazement and astonishment at something that is inconceivable to the finite mind. And there will be appreciation for the intelligence of the author of this holographic movie, motivating all to realize the Self.
