Powerful story ,vanquishing

fear.

enjoyed this immensely Brandi..

I'm glad ... it keeps on giving, that gift. To this day if I am feeling

disempowered, I just go back to that moment.

Once the fear barrier drops it

doesn't return.

Sometimes it does. But each time it's shorter and shorter, it has less

power over me.

Do you ever find yourself

wanting fear back?

I have common sense to keep me from danger ... I don't need fear for

that.

And it's not that I am never afraid. It doesn't affect me as much as it

used to. Fear isn't the problem and eliminating fear isn't the solution.

The solution is to find ways to act effectively even when I feel fear.

One of the classes I took with Ross Quinn focuses on the difference

between real fears and perceived fears. For example, the reality is that

thousands of people are killed every month on our highways. But which do

we fear more, accidents or terrorism? And some of us say we fear public

speaking more than death! (laugh)

For example the stock market is

nuts, the pound has started

crashing, there's depleted uranium circling the Earth poisoning us

all

and I don't feel fear. I should feel fear, but It's

gone...

I thin the bigger question is what good would adding fear back to that

mixture bring us? I think these things are important to be aware of, but

fear doesn't enhance our ability to respond to our challenges, quite the

opposite for the most part.

brandi_ fear is the standing the black maji uses to hold sway over

the evolution process. It is the illusion one is held under the

juristiction of bullies and alike. being aware of ones own fear for

thr purpose of being more powerful than them is admirable though

actively paticipating them and subddueing the truth is not. we may

think us to be of the human race and we might thing because of

technology we have evolved somewhat. yes i recon we just might have

as well. though it is not through technology that we have it is

because we have surpassed fear to an extent. We may believe or

accept to believe that fear is all about sustaining our present

situations however this is not the case when we have a vision of what

is to come. this is more liken to the relisation of an ideal you

should see in chrism and others on this group that is there main

objective although they may not tell you.

in love

didn't see what he wrote as fearful, and I don't mind if has

some fear and expresses that honestly. Fear isn't a problem in and of

itself, any more than anger or resentment are. It's what we do with

these emotions that counts.Even an enlightened being can feel fear.

If we compound that with self-recrimination it only makes it worse. I

know that wasn't your intention - but if that were aimed at me, I'd

be tempted to beat on myself a bit (Not that will <g> but I

think he's ahead of me there). We do all want to get past our fear,

but we won't do that if the goal is to have no fear at all. Maybe

that was realistic for Christ/Buddha ... but that's a pretty lofty

goal for the rest of us.

happens we get a lot of macho strutting like we see too much of in

politics. I am inspired by leaders who admit their fears and go

forward anyway. My friend Ross often speaks in his classes about his

own fears and reactions. We both share a reaction about rejection. I

was so relieved to hear him talk about that because I admire him

greatly, I know he admits to being human, and I didn't feel I had to

be perfect around him after that.
