Surrender the Ego - Part 3

So in order to release fear, we must be able to self soothe. Soothing of the self is key to our ultimate success as human beings. Looking to the outside world for what we need is foolish. We are everything and have everything we need in the moment. We are perfect right this second just as we are. There are no deficiencies in us as spiritual beings. The deficiencies are perceived by the ego and perpetuated by it. For example, why do people of different skin color have preconceived notions of what that differently colored person is ultimately going to do or be in life? It is the ego identifying something different than itself and protecting itself through instilling fear in you on an emotional level. Soothing of the self lets you reject these fears and tame your emotions. Being grateful for who you are and what you have in the moment is a great way to accomplish this soothing.
