Hate to ask without first giving, but hear me out.
I've been making more and more decisions from the heart instead of the mind lately. Working out great by the way. In this world, it's sometimes hard to not think it through really thoroughly and make a decision from pure logic; however, if the logic leads you to a, somewhat, scary decision, should I let fear run my life? I would usually vote no. If I'm not hurting anyone, why should I not go through with something I want to do? It's exciting, it's fun, but it's very, very dangerous, and if anything goes wrong the outcome could be a catastrophe. To more than just my-self, but to other-selves. It's disheartening, but I love the excitement, I love the journey, and I would certainly LOVE the outcome, if it were to go smoothly. As a being of light, who is concerned about others, deeply, should I roll the dice? It's risky, I don't want to hurt anyone, or myself. Is the wanting distorting my rationality? Wanting and fear are mechanisms of the ego, according to Tolle. I'm going through with it tonight, hope someone can shed some pure light on this for me before I go for it. I love the input of other-selves that come with love and wisdom. Any takers welcome. :/
