The terror and pleasure of rebirth

waves in the sand

“Life consists of continually facing the terror and pleasure of becoming a new individual without history. … It is as if you live and die many times.” ~Arnold Mindell

Dying to our old self to become someone new is the path of transformation.

With each journey through the process, I experience more pleasure and less terror, but the terror never completely goes away.

How do you experience this continual death and rebirth process in your life?
