Paradoxes and sharing some Weight Loss For the Mind

Was pondering the very paradoxes we live with today and picked up a volume of Stuart Wilde's work (R.I.P). Though 20+ years on, I feel it's still relevant today. Would like to share this with the community.

Taken from Infinite Self but first published in Weight Loss For the Mind. Stuart says "the journey from ego to spirit entails resolving the paradoxes of this human existence." Then he explains these paradoxes as such:
We have to embrace infinity inside a mortal body.
We have to believe in a God we can't see.
We have to learn to love in a dimension where there is so much hatred.
We have to see abundance when people constantly talk of shortages and lack.
We have to discover freedom where control is the state religion.
We have to develop self-worth while people criticize and belittle us.
We have to see beauty where there is ugliness.
We have to embrace kindness and positive attitudes when surrounded by uncertainty.
We have to feel safe in spite of our concerns.
