My question is a simple one, but in a way, one of the big ones. How do you live life when it has no guarantees? How do you dare to love someone, when they may die, or you may die? How do you dare feel safe walking in the world when maybe nothing will come in the next part, after death? These questions have never concerned me before, but suddenly I find myself thinking about them very much. I’m in my thirties but feel about 5 years old when I think this way, and almost wish I was, as at least I was oblivious to doubt then.
I know there can’t be guarantees of anything, but that thought is haunting me at the moment. Any of your thoughts would be very welcome.

You in and of yourself, can not control the universe….But you can know that it is benevolent and good and will take care of all your needs….Jesus once said “take no thought for your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink, presuming not on the prerogative of his creator, but recognizing God-as the Infinite Good in his life, and able to feed and clothe man as he does the Lilies….

Very difficult to accept Deepak. But, you can explain the truth so convincing, that someday I will manage to love feely without fear.
You are afraid of death because you are attached to your ego and it is the ego which actually dies and not the Soul.The Soul is eternal,undying,Immortal.If you realised this truth,you would lose your fear of death or others dying and realise that life is full of guarantees !
death is nothing more then a changing of form images.. while the immortal life of the Soul is infinite intelligent awareness projecting all that is in form….
When you dream at night, think of how wonderful it is that your ability to dream is teaching you how you project effortlessly from your consciousness…
you can make images appear and even project meaning into your images..for instance I remember as a child that I had a dream that a wolf was chasing me around my house and I was so scared and just before he caught me I woke up….I projected me running, the wolf chasing me and my house, along with projecting my extreme fear…..
We all do this dreaming on a human unconscious level too…and we can project images and meaning from a truly divine awakened consciousness, which in my understanding is when you make your dreams carry the true substance of Reality…your dreams then become Real….

Fears will disappear slowly when Ego desires disappear.
If you desire love as a service to another, then it doesn’t matter you get this particular job or not.
Death always brings pain of separation but even that you can overcome on some level through faith
