Not only does the Master appear when the student is ready, but the inspiration resurfaces when it is thought of. I had been thinking about Nelson Mandela's quote regarding humanity not fearing their own inadequacies as much as their own Light. A few hours later I picked up a spiritual newsletter and there it was on the back page:

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, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. 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.
(Nelson Mandela).

This is powerful and strips away my wanting to 'play small' or thinking that I make others around me feel insecure if I let my light shine, rather than just the opposite.

Perhaps that's one of the great blessings of this site--we are here to receive and share more of that light, finding ways to shine more brightly.......I'm thankful for that.
