Our Deepest fear is to shine




"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 and fabulous?
Actually, who are we not to be? You are a child of God- your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us, it is in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
Marianne Williamson



In German:
"Unsere tiefste Angst ist nicht, dass wir unzureichend sind. Unsere tiefste Angst ist, dass wir über alle Maße stark sind. Es ist unser Licht, nicht die Dunkelheit, welches uns am meisten Angst macht. Wir fragen uns, wer bin ich, um glänzend, wunderschön, begabt und fabelhaft zu sein?
Sogar wer sind wir nicht? Du bist ein Kind Gottes- deine geringe Spielweise dient der Welt nicht. Es gibt nichts erleuchtendes über das Schrumpfen, damit andere Leute sich in deiner Nähe nicht unsicher fühlen. Wir wurden geboren, um die Herrlichkeit Gottes, die in uns liegt, zu offenbaren. Sie ist nicht nur in manchen von uns, sie ist in jedem.
Und wenn wir unser eigenes Licht leuchten lassen, geben wir ohne es zu merken Menschen die Erlaubnis das selbe zu tun. Wenn wir von unserer eigenen Angst befreit sind, befreit unsere Gegenwart automatisch andere."

Religious Leaders met at Bahai gardens


60 Religious Leaders to Meet at Elijah Interfaith Convention at the Bahai Gardens and Shrine in Haifa, Israel.



Priests and a Buddhist religious leader take their shoes off before entering a shrine during the Elijah Interfaith Convention in Bahai Gardens and Shrine in Haifa, northern Israel, Tuesday, Oct. 20, 2009. About 50 religious leaders representing Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, and Sikhism visited the Bahai center as part of a 5-day conference where the results of a survey showing how members of different religions view their religious leadership will be released.



(IsraelNN.com) About 60 religious leaders are scheduled to meet Tuesday in the Bahai gardens in Haifa as part of the fourth biennial assembly of the World Council of Religious Leaders which is taking part in the northern port city. The theme of this year's assembly is "the future of religious leadership".

Speakers who have confirmed their appearance at the event include former Sephardic Chief Rabbi Eliyahu Bakshi-Doron and the current Latin Patriarch Fouad Twal.
