Vulnerability is an illusion. Its sometimes seen as weak to be open or "vulnerable", yet this is only a subconscious projection of the one judging openness as weakness. When we judge we define ourselves. As a person judges someone who is open as weak, they only reveal their own weakness in their refusal to look at themselves. When one refuses to look at themselves, they disallow the expansion of their self understanding and love. It is in being open that we become a stronger being than we have ever been. It is in openly experiencing oneself that we discover the beauty, truth, and power that truly resides within us. To be open is to embody our wholeness. It is to embrace ourselves with open arms, ready to love every aspect of ourselves and thus have the ability to share that love with the world.
