Fear … the Fall of a Dark Empire

So, how do I feel about the focus of my work on the eradication of fear in my writing and teachings? The answer is that I actually feel just ever so slightly daunted by such a huge task because of what it might entail first to shed my own fears and then extract from the experience the essence to be translated into simple yet powerful tools for others to do the same.

However, such trepidation is far outweighed by the excitement of the prospect of a life free, or virtually free, of fear in which all dark energies are transformed in their deep-rooted caverns within our body and soul, converted from darkness to light, leaving us fundamentally revitalised and rejuvenated, a long, healthy and fulfilled life almost guaranteed compared with the feasibility of such a life when our fears lurk insidiously clouding many a good heart.

How do I feel? Not only excited, privileged and…peaceful, as if the very prospect of shedding fear has, of itself, already brought some healing, some inner peace. Yes, above all, since this latest opportunity was offered to me, I have felt peaceful, hopeful, humbly powerful, knowing I can do anything when fear’s shackles are removed, no longer able to hold me back, leaving the dark forces that use fear to control us are but powerless blasts of hot air that play a futile game in the face of such pure power, the one true power: love.

In fact, on further reflection, what is most exciting is the recollection that fear is love’s antithesis and that, if there was ever to be a ‘cure’ for life’s ills, it is through the free authentic expression of that one truth, love, made possible when its light shines brightly on the dark fears that then simply vanish in its path. This is so universal, so simple yet, in such profound darkness, also a challenge at first.

What moves me as I sit here in a coffee house on a busy Sunday afternoon, scribbling these almost incredible thoughts and looking at all the faces from around the world in search of pleasure, is what may then be possible for the souls whose faces bear the scars of the agony of fear that sometimes cause such ugly distortions of their natural beauty. Can I see a single face that truly bears the peaceful, loving beauty of their true nature? I suspect not. My, this world is so ripe for dramatic transformation and awakening!

Oh God, free me of my fears that I may then do everything in my power to bring it to others, to set them free to find and follow you, you who surround and protect them always yet are denied by most, and to use their unique gifts from you to expand the light still further.

Thank you for this privileged role which you now offer me and which I take on regardless of the changes to the path I follow and without condition, though I ask that if possible I do not suffer with torture, imprisonment or death and that I may stay to witness what, in your name, I help to create, the land of Pan restored, a place where love, hope and trust are the norm and fear but a distant memory, cast to the annals of human history once and for all.
