How do we experience the feeling of safety? Under what conditions do we find it? πŸ›Ÿ

The quickest of insights for your today – about safety.

(Not physical safety, but the feeling of safety that we all seek.)

If it's something we're seeking, then where do we find it?

It's very simple: the feeling of safety is to be found Now.

πŸ’‘
Now and safety are the same thing.

The feeling of safety cannot be conditional, since the conditions that the mind places on a feeling (any feeling) can never be met.

Because those conditions are in the future, and the future cannot be experienced (it’s a thought).

It’s actually the mind’s stories that create the feeling of un-safety, or insecurity.

It's a bit of a head-scratcher that one, so just let it percolate for the rest of today, as an idea:

Safety = Now.

And if you find your mind objecting vociferously, that’s fine, it’s what minds do.

Let its objection drift on through, and go back to the feeling of security.
