Week No. 05

I let go of my desire for safety and security.

If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.

- Jesus, Gospel of Thomas

Today, I’d like you to think about the things you bury inside. Are there dreams in you that you’re too afraid to acknowledge? Are there secrets that shouldn’t be? Is there something that needs to be said? Is there anything — positive or negative — that when you consider “giving birth” to it, you instead tense up, shove it back down, suppress it, and remain “safe” instead of “honest?”

Can you think of an instance in the past where getting it out “saved you?” Can you think of anything that you’ve kept in the dark “destroying you?”
