It is not so much the presence of fear that strikes me in these words, but the fact that you post anyway, despite
your fear. Each time we act, we challenge the fear that threatens to immobilize us. Fear appears to be an
inevitable part of the journey of duality and challenging those things that we fear are steps towards its
transcendence. A number of years ago, I was driving in my car when I had an "aha" moment in which I
recognized that all that I feared were only thoughts in my own mind. And those thoughts weren't even true. I
have traced all of my fears back to a single fear, and that is a fear of self. When we share of ourselves, it is not
another's rejection that we fear, but our own. In those times of self-doubt, I ask myself one question, "Are you
Love or aren't you?" I know the answer to that question. I know that there is nothing to fear. One might say
that fear-based thinking has given us the opportunity to explore and define what we are, Like all things, it
serves a purpose. Thank you for starting this conversation and for the opportunity to share.
