By a Stephane Schillinger, Curious Chance, Excerpt from the book “By a Curious Chance – Volume II”
– Master, I’m afraid of losing myself… losing my job, and I’m afraid of this emotional breakup coming. I have daily anxieties about my future, which darkens before my very eyes…
– Can’t you see that everything in your life has always been in sync? Haven’t your jobs and loves come at the right time? As if an invisible hand was providing for your needs at the right time? Don’t you see that your failures are actually successes of learning and exploration, and your defeats have, over time, turned out to be victories over the unknown?
– Yes it’s true… but “this time it’s not the same”, this time I panic…
– By answering me “yes, it’s true”, you are already showing the intuition of something millennia old: what religions have distorted by enclosing it under the word “faith”. It is a question, and this long before religions, of the profound conviction that part of what happens to us, and of the events that concern us, are the fruit of our “unconscious will”, or in other words, of the subtle action of what we could, perhaps, call the “inner master” in order to experience what “he” needs to express himself. It is up to you to re-establish contact with this.
Remember this: as you see your horizon darken, rejoice in the storm that is coming, nature needs seasons to renew itself, bad weather to grow and strengthen itself. How can you call yourself spiritual if you do not have blind faith in yourself? Go now, go out and dance under this storm, which You alone have created.
