Default Re: Some advice on preparations

As far as preparations go, I do my best to keep it all simple.
Think, feel, do.
My thoughts, if unoriginal, need to be processed critically.
Because my thoughts have the ability to become an emotion, and I prefer to feel good, it's vital that I process.
I have come to understand, that anytime I think I know what is best for anyone besides myself & my children, I am then exercising my ego, regurgitating recycled resonances from either someone else, or a past clarity of my own.
It helps me to remain where my feet are and breathe.
As for fear, when I'm honest with myself, I can look retrospectively at my life & see that there have been times when I feared something unnecessarilly. Due to my conditioning, fear/rejection was my conditioned response.
Because of that, I am better able to look at fear objectively, and know that it can eventually turn to a reliable truth in the future.
So personally, it's best that I remain in a neutral place with the type of information I get in forums like this.
Process it, then act accordingly.
Whether it's running to the store to purchase 50lbs of rice, or sitting in the sun and meditating for the day, I honor MY truth.
I have remembered that I have the answers, for me.
I have remembered that when I look to others for guidance, I am further dis-empowering myself, relying on an outside source as if they can guide me better than I can guide myself.
As if I can get this wrong.
I cannot.
I don't think anyone can.
When I begin to imagine that there is a blanket right or wrong way to go about all of this, my now is tampered with, and my ego is basically getting it's dope.
The only blanket truth I have found that is worthy of practice, is unconditional love. Preparing unconditionally, loving the moment no matter what the results, feels good, to me.

With peaceful energy,
CW
