The Crucible of True Intimacy, David Hoffmeister, ACIM, Utah, 2011

To begin this journey of revealing self to Self can be very frightening. But Giving and Receiving are the same; it's divine law. Getting out of your comfort zone by revealing and releasing your resistance and judgments takes courage. "Creating your own reality" is an notion coming from the ego; self improvement. This is not about improving the personality; it is about letting it go, and moving in the direction of the Unknown. The gap between what is known and what is unknown can be terrifying; old ways of relating seem to be falling apart and bringing us to our knees. Everything we thought we "possessed" is being taken away. We are being washed from the sense of need, of control, and of what was previously valued, but now is being questioned. But fear not, and do not compromise; let it all up and out.
