One of the strongest emotions that humans possess is fear. When we give into it, "It" is the ghost in the machine that informs our very existence and all too often drives us into a debilitating state of being.
Fear thrives in the corpus of every situation designed to keep us ignorant and disconnected from our legacy of unlimited possibilities. The longevity of chemical fear in the body erodes this greater truth and makes it unlikely that most of us will ever override this corrosive orientation.
When we look through the lens of our current society, fear rules the day. Whether it is larger than life 3-D movies thrusting vampires and demons at us for entertainment, or the parade of warring armies killing indiscriminately, to the personal engagement of hand to hand combat between the sexes, Fear is king.
Fear sits at the head of the table, presides over the congregation, scares its way into the boardroom and screams bloody murder in the public square.
Fear is the gift that keeps on giving.
We are addicted to fear. We give it power of possession and are afraid to be without it. We milk our children on a steady diet of fear. Violent video games, war toys, and scary movies are quickly converted into nightmares, and for impressionable young minds, fear will eventually become their jailer.
What if we confront our fear and free ourselves from this very "known" element. What if we discovered that fear had a shelf life and a date of expiration. What if the single most scary thing about fear was uncovering what it's hiding; Knowledge and Truth!
Then, and only then, can freedom ring!
Without fear, a soul sings. Without fear, a child learns. Without fear, a woman gains her voice.
Without fear, a father stands up. Without fear, a nation grows its wings. Without fear, there is a Heaven on Earth!
Today, some believe the world will end. If that world is called Fear, then, I welcome it. I say goodbye to its limitations; good riddance to its power hungry dominance, and "you're fired" to that overbearing and sinister agent of pain and suffering.
Like the song says..."its the end of the world as we know it"!
Welcome to Our World
Long live the Rainbow of Fearlessness, in all its many colors.
Love and peace in our lifetime
Esprit
