Deep inside me at my core is where my mother lives by Cassia Berman

Deep inside me at my core is where my Mother lives.

She is not the noise of the world.

She is deep inside me.

The noise can talk about Her truth

but it is only in secret places in the body that Her truth breathes.

Go into those places and transform negative thoughts and feelings into oneness with Her.

Let Her embrace you and be your friend.

She dwells deep in the heart of all matter so to truly know Her is to have a friend everywhere and everywhere be in Her embrace.

Let yourself relax now

and that secret embrace

will penetrate from inside outwards

dissolving your fears and anxieties and tensions

like the most profound message.

I call my inner being Mother

for when She is released from within

She is like a Mother I loved

within the mother I knew —

larger and wiser, more loving and gentle

than the voice of the world in my mind,

which sometimes sounds like the mother I knew

but is losing its power to rule me.

“Our persona was not created by accident; it was created in order to camouflage the parts of ourselves we deemed the most undesirable and to overcompensate for what we believe to be our deepest flaws. What persona are you hiding behind?” ~Debbie Ford

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, “Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeious talented, fabulous?” Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” ~Marianne Williamson
