Know Your Fears
by Story Waters
Know that fears are cages that you have used to limit yourself. As you face each of your fears, so you will go through a continual process of freeing yourself from cages; cages that you previously could not name, but have always felt. Fears are cages within cages, mazes within mazes, and must be faced to experience your Godhood in ever expanding ways.
As you come out of one cage, you will most likely find yourself within another. Realize this to be the encoded baggage of many lifetimes. Know that for each fear that you face and overcome you will reap rewards. With each bond released you will become more and more fulfilled; more and more the God that you are. Celebrate each victory of your spirit. Allow yourself to enjoy the rewards, rather than ploughing into the next challenge before you have had time to rest or to experience the joy of the victory. The rewards of life are not forced upon you. You must pause and focus on them to experience them. To do this is to love yourself. Enjoy the challenges you so love, but also allow space to enjoy the rewards.
Do not become discouraged by the amount of cages you must free yourself from. To do so is to focus on the destination and to not enjoy the journey. Learning to embrace the journey is essential for joy. The more you love your life, the faster its magic will unfold. As you learn to move with the changes that the resolution of fear brings, so you will lower your resistance to the journey; the resistance that causes you pain. You are here to enjoy this journey and not to suffer through it. The only proof of this is in the living of it.
The letting go of continuity may feel like you are entering chaos. At such times, center yourself and become the calm eye of the hurricane, knowing that you will not suffer unless you allow yourself to fall into fear. Know that you are the master of your fear and, for this reason, you will not fall into fear. You do not have to suffer, no matter what is happening around you. Your fears are illusions and you will come to see through them. Know your fears and they will not be fears, at their root is usually resistance to change. Fear is no more and no less than the unknown.
