Impermanence: Awakening Through Insecurity (Part 1) - Tara Brach

Tara Brach - Impermanence: Awakening Through Insecurity (Part 1) 05/13/2015

From the view of the separate self, this existence is inherently uncertain, and we are profoundly vulnerable. Our habitual reaction to insecurity fuels separation, and limits our capacity to live and love fully. These two talks explore the blessings of wisdom, love and freedom that naturally arise as, instead of resisting, we learn to open directly to the insecurity of impermanence.

A psychospiritualist I see mentioned the word impermanence the other day. Releasing fear and finding true peace is to realize that everything is impermanent. The word struck me and wouldn't let go. I needed to investigate this more. I had never heard this word before. In this context. I watched Ram Dass tonight with his stroke talk about it and then your video. You have explained in a way that helps me to begin to feel it, and him, to openly see it. I'm an enneagram 6. Releasing fear is my life's work. I am 64. It's healing time. ❤️ Each night I take my dog out before bed, I have this fear of being eaten by a bear. Now, before I sound looney, I'm in NC. We have bears. We live on their land. There ARE bears in my complex. I've never seen one here in real life up close but I know they are here. There was one behind the building behind me 2 nights ago. I feel so vulnerable out alone, facing the possibility of being attacked by a bear. I shake and get angry with my dog for taking too long and listen for the slightest sound and my angst is the PTSD awakened. It's never happened. In 8 years of taking out a dog at night, I've never been eaten by a bear yet each night, the fear controls me. Or is the problem that I try to control the bear? The one that is not there. Could be there but my experience says he is not. Not right now. I don't need to control something that is not real except in my mind. In fact, I can't. So I will walk my little Lucy right now, at nearly 2 am, with appropriate caution, (I carry a whistle.) I can not control nature but I can control my fear of it and tonight I also realize history is on my side. Merci and Namaste.
