love/unity experience increases difficulty with fear/seperation

[Sacred Fool]

 
Sometimes the inability to sustain a sense of optimism and equanimity is because we lack an adequate foundation in the lower chakras to support it.  When we are living mainly in the area below the heart, we are fairly well shielded (and veiled) from the nasty inner workings of our impulses to unworthiness, rage, shame, etc.  But when we open to higher frequencies, these defenses are also opened up, and when they get triggered, this can bring down the house of cards.  

So, the good news is that this can be worked with, the bad news is that it's a bit personally painful to muck out these areas.  On the other hand, this work leads to a much fuller experience of the heart which has enormous compensations.
