This is an invitation for you to find harmony with insecurity.

The alternative title would be: Being in harmony with your “earthly” part.

Maybe you know this: no matter how much you have read or heard about "how life works" or seem to have understood yourself, every so often you feel insecure.

For some it is a hint of insecurity every now and then. For others, despite all the wonderful insights into being human and the power of thought or their hard earned intellectual knowledge, it looks like nothing has changed and the feeling of insecurity is almost constant.

It raises the question: what does the understanding of e.g. The Three Principles (by Sydney Banks) or any other spiritual (or psychological) teaching help, if insecurity stays or comes back again and again?

It may be that an aspect has been overlooked here. Which is…

No spiritual teaching nor any extensive study of the Three Principles or knowledge about psychology will ever prevent the feeling of insecurity.

Insecurity is not our enemy. It doesn’t need to be eliminated once and for all.

The question is rather: How do we handle it?
Rejecting? Re-acting? With a deeper understanding?

Feeling insecurity is part of being human. It is a natural occurrence. It really doesn’t matter how much we’ve seen or how much we have expanded our consciousness. 

Insecurity like any other feeling will be part of the palette of emotion that we as human beings can and are allowed to feel. 

To experience insecurity doesn’t mean we did something wrong, or are still not enlightened enough or maybe somehow broken, possibly dumb. 

It is simply an expression of how we are currently using the creative force of thought. In this case, our thinking is making us feel insecure.
To the “earthly” part of us the world therefore sometimes seems more or less safe. 

Depending on what has ended up (or has been uploaded) onto our personal “hard drive”, this happens more or less often. 

Maybe we are able to delete one of these “Unsafe” programs. Maybe not.

And there are probably insecurity- and other thoughts (stories), which you could say have been handed over to the next generation like family heirlooms. Thoughts that have been repeated by humans for so long they have become second nature and are almost invisible. Some are even world family heirlooms.

To get upset about it, to fight it or to judge ourselves that we “still” get insecure isn’t helping. Quite the opposite. We put more thoughts on top which will bring more insecurity as a result. This kind of “dealing” with insecurity will keep it in our consciousness and therefore in our lives.

There is a very simple answer to the question “Why do I still feel insecure?" 
Because I have or had insecure, anxious thoughts. 

It is also very human to react to insecurity by acting upon them (although we don't have to).

Yes, sometimes we are not saying the things we want, because we feel insecure.

And sometimes we start a massive discussion because of it.

It is possible we avoid doing things because we feel insecure. On other occasions we do things which we later regret out of the misunderstanding that it would make the insecure feeling go away.

In all these cases we react as if the feeling of insecurity is telling us the truth about the world, other people or ourselves. For a moment we have forgotten that it is the tangible aspect of our thinking and is therefore changeable, fleeting and entirely personal - not “THE” truth.

It is an expression of our current level of consciousness. A level on which it can also make sense to re-act upon insecurity in a certain way.

This can lead to friction with other people. Or we build a detailed internal rulebook on how, when and what to do - with the intention to ban insecurity. Ending up being very rigid and controlling towards ourselves and others.

Human beings are very creative inventors. This includes coping strategies in order to not feel or to overcome insecurity.

The thing is: nothing really helps to eradicate insecurity. Some strategies simply create more mental noise than insecurity does, or they numb or distract us and with that we forget about it for a moment. 
Other techniques can at times help over an imaginary boundary. Until we get insecure again and need another method.

There is also the possibility to accept that 
feeling insecure is part of being human.

To accept that insecurity is part of the human experience, no matter how much I already know or how many times I have orbited the sun on spaceship earth.

And to realise that insecurity, like every other feeling, is arising and disappearing without us having to do something for or against it.

And how about that:

Make peace with insecurity.

A feeling of insecurity is a guide helping me to see how I am using my thinking at the moment. 

What “original” thought it started isn’t even relevant. Maybe it will get clear when I am present again in the here and now. Or not. 
Maybe it is a thought-feeling-breeze, passing by just like a chilly breeze does on an otherwise calm day.

The feeling of insecurity is a wake-up call. A call to be present. 

A call to be here now. 
When I get present it really doesn’t matter if I feel insecure because I think "I'm not good enough” or if I walk on a mountain ridge. In both situations presence is the only really helpful way of being with it.

Making peace with insecurity is being in harmony with myself, with my own and with your humanness. 

Harmony isn't the absence of all insecurity.
It means not to use insecurity to create a rift. 
Neither with other people nor with and within myself. 

Our human system has an inbuilt possibility for the feeling of “insecure”. 

Yes, we can feel unsafe.

And then we feel safe again.

That’s ok.

We’re ok.
