Hope is perhaps one of the most sacred concepts in the weaponry of the split ego-mind. It appeals to almost everyone as a thread of last resort when all else seems to be crumbling around it and is held up as a trophy-attitude for the brave.
Few challenge its insidious nature …
In the realm of Truth, of Freedom, of Peace … hope has no meaning for ALL THAT IS is Now. There is no distant ‘time’ or ‘place’ where things will get better or you will attain to some more pleasant experience.
Freedom is Freedom Now and does not appear in some distant future if you can just cling to hope, hang on and bravely try your best. Even bravery or courage is an illusion since it suggests that there is something to fear.
‘Fearlessness’ recognizes there ‘is’ nothing to fear.
