Afraid for our lives

Fear paralyzes action or causes you to commit foolhardy ones. We can’t get hampered by our fears as we move forth in our search for the building blocks in the chain of our life. Each interconnected moment unfurling before our eyes needs to be treated with a gentle crispness that is not bogged down in the muck of fear. The way to work with our fear is to begin noticing when it arises. We can see it come to us like a tug inside, making us scared about some thing or another. This is the crucial moment when we begin loosening our habitual patterns and break into more expansive territory. The jockey rides with his horse as one similar to a hand in a glove and this is how you must ride your emotions. Be one with the fluctuations all the while not identifying too strongly with its projections. The stairway that presents itself before you will reward for your efforts but it this is no great concern of yours. You move into this gradual awakening with insights that form the very marrow of your life. Once you move into this arena like a gladiator fighting his way towards knowing there is no turning back. The only difference is that this is a peaceful journey and the arena is open space.
