Believe it or not, fear is entirely unnatural; God has created us to live without it. Fear arises within human consciousness as a result of delusion. We fear because we believe we are separate from God, left to our own devices, and entirely responsible for ourselves. This false belief spawns anxiety and deep levels of inadequacy. Yet at every moment of the spiritual life, God is lovingly coaxing us out of fear. Overcoming fear, though, has nothing to do with optimism, blind faith, or positive self-talk. The antidote to fear is truth! Truth is not primarily an intellectual argument, but an experience of reality. Our reality is that we live and move and have our being in God; we are always in the center of God’s providence, purpose, and power. The more certain we become of this truth, the more our fears dissolve into nothingness.

God and Guru,
Instill the truths
I need to learn
Deep within my being.
