Here is a small segment of Catherine's article in which she quoted another author who said my blog description theme:
Being the Spirit of Truth [that's us], we cannot tolerate anything that is not truth because it sets up immediate conflict and robs us of power in our soul...Truth provokes us to look at all the artificial things we do and prompts us – at any cost -- to get real. Let us then feed on truth and light: “He that keepeth his commandments receiveth truth and light, until he is glorified in truth and knoweth all things” (D&C 93:28) – these are the stuff of our being. And when this awareness collapses, we can always trace back in our minds to find the disempowering thought – then forgive it and reverse it.
Consider this possibility: that it is the fear of being divinely transformed, of being divine that holds us back. Our deepest fear may not be that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure. One author has suggested that it is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us, so that we may tend to retreat into our self-made darkness because we’re fearful to express and manifest divinity. We may at some level ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, gifted, and fabulous?
Yet, she points out, our “playing small doesn’t serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around [us]. We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us”; and as we let [that] light shine, we give others permission to do the same.1
There is something important in our heart to do. Let us clean up our thinking and expand into the divine.
