Fear..The Enemy That Holds

Fear plays a bigger part in our lives than many would admit to themselves. Fear is the creeping black shadow that is a blight in all our lives coming at the most unexpected and inopportune times.
It matters not the gender, size or age, we all succumb in some shape or form, it is part of our very being, a means used by the egoic mind to control and cajole in the enactment of life.
To live a life beset by the problems of fearful expectation, can and does play havoc with health and mental well being.

Fears of lack, loneliness, violence and misery become self realised, creating a never ending vortex of depression and misery that becomes very difficult to break free from.
The saviours become courage and faith. For many, hitting rock bottom with a jolt becomes the catalyst for a major turn around in their lives. Bereft of hope, and in some cases help, a paradigm shift in conscious awareness is often the result.

With nowhere to turn in a materialistic world, the spirit reaches out in a heartfelt plea for release. The fact that the desire is so great, so deep, pushes the finite consciousness to the very boundaries, and beyond into the realm of super consciousness, the realm of the divine within and without.

The courage to step out of the lower realms and into the light of realisation requires effort and belief. Fear will not slip away easily, perhaps coming back with renewed vigour, but for every time it is successfully resisted the spirit becomes stronger.
When the lowest realms of life have been experienced, appreciation of the true beauty and joy of life, our true purpose, becomes more apparent with every passing day.

We cannot be all things to all people, we have to be true to ourselves first and foremost.When there is peace within, the same will manifest outwardly.
It has never been about the scramble for possessions, status, one up-manship, we all tend to get carried along in the frenzy. When it is all gone, we realise it was never what we thought it was, never needed for the most part, but it became an addiction, fuelled by a fear of lack.
