3. Day 13: Fear As A Teacher
Here is the wonderful quote from Bartholomew on fear I promised yesterday. Really let this sink in. Allow the “bigness” of it to make itself comfortable in between your cells and thoughts. Receive it as from your own heart. “Fear is an energy that can be your teacher if you have the willingness to face it. Fear is power. It is an energy that is easily felt. It is a part of the life-cycle. When fear is with you can train yourself to say “My friend! You are here! I remember you well. You have come to tell me some part of me needs looking at, needs explaining....

I am loving the bounty being showered upon me with this extending love to my epic fears project (which has become my daily practice). My friend Bartholomew, who I would describe as another voice and flavor of Love has written the most beautiful and perfect piece on fear which I will share below. I want to add a few thoughts (please feel free to extend love to this thought if it is shocking or frightening in any way) about what is sometimes called channeled writing or speaking. In the past 30 or so years there have been quite a number of channeled writings or speakings: Seth, Bartholomew,...

To my constant feeling of “I should be more, do more, & have fun every moment” self: I extend GRATITUDE to this self. HS: Dearest One, This is a wellspring of universal energy not a guilt trip. The reminder of the infinite power of love that you are is your take-away, not that you are NOT love enough. Guilt was designed as a reminder of your value, worth and nature of love, for when you experience guilt and feel a less-than-ness you simply stop and remember you are enough. Let guilt remind you of only this: you are you. You are not someone else. You are not somewhere...

Today we begin a new month of extending love to an epic fear. Holy Spirit did it again with a 4:17am wake up call. (I must be my most open at 4am.) I almost don’t want to say out loud what the next fear is. As far as I can remember it has affected me my whole life. It has both propelled me and stopped me from speaking my own heart and mind for the sake of others (apparently and obviously more important others) and left me frying in my own juices, like a steak on the grill. For me this fear has the physical effect of self-electrocution. I never really looked at this as a fear,...

This month of extending love to depression has been somehow like coming home. Coming home to a house you visited when you were very young but had not been to in many years. Everything looks smaller, less daunting, possibly shabbier even while exuding the feeling of the comfort and safety of home. Allowing myself the gift of spending time with the thought-cluster of depression has been like coming upon a favored cabin at Donner Lake that has been shut up for years. It’s dusty and stale and all the outdoor furniture is stacked in the living room. The water has been turned off and...

“I don’t know what I want.”—how many times have you said this? Perhaps while standing in line at Starbucks, or at the cheese counter in Whole Foods or at the crossroads of your life when opportunity presented itself? Is this true? Do you really not know what you want? Depression and its “21 Fear Salute” guards are quite certain you do NOT know what you want. 18. I don’t know what I really want. Let’s borrow from our dear friend Byron Katie and turn this right around and sit with it awhile. I know what I want. What I really,...
