Before we are born we are wholesome and complete and then since consciousness evolves on duality we create these filters. Through your journey you are walking on the path of life that you have already walked before.
I retrace my path with complete awareness and faith to experience oneness with the creator.
Our mind teaches us control and we control only what we know. The fear comes because of ignorance and therefore lack of control. For some people mediation is an unknown experience.
You have come through this path and are retracing this path again but this time with faith and complete awareness.
