fear

When confronted with uncertainty, it is natural to seek some reassurance that our solution is reasonable, rational, “makes sense,” or otherwise good enough. We all seek out the type of reassurance that works well to calm a doubt, allay a worry, solidify a plan of action, or guide a decision.

Fear does not belong to you.

Do not take ownership of it.

There is a lot of fear in the world now.

There are many earthquakes in the Earth, and many unstable and threatening political situations. Many people are very scared.

When this collective vibration reaches a certain intensity, we feel it as individuals—but it is not personal.

Allow it to pass through you like a storm. You survived last time this fear was here; you will survive again.

“The conscious mind is a self-healing mind,” says psychiatrist and philosopher Roger Walsh. He is right. Just look at fear for example. The message of fear is, “Flee.” Our first impulse is to follow this instruction. So we think and act in an attempt to escape the fear.
