December 5 Daily Entry -- Why fear?

Why fear the moment of release?

Why fear the moment when I allow myself to let go of all the effort it takes to insist that I am a separate entity from the rest of the world.

Why fear the moment when I can lay down my burden of memories, realizing that none of it is important. Realizing that what IS important will carry on.

Why fear the moment when it is no longer my job to DO anything, or even to BE anything. I can stop striving so hard and let everything just happen.

Why fear the moment when I release all the effort and the discomfort and finally relax and really become One with everything else.

(Because in One-neas there is everything I get from individual achievement. I am safe and secure. There is no threat to me, now. I am accepted and unquestioned. I am not cold, not pained. Maybe I might even feel love.

The experience of me will be gone. And the idea of me will soon be gone as well, thought I may try to leave behind evidence of my existence. But what of it? Everything continues on.
