When we know, who walks beside us, on this path we have chosen, our fears fall from us.

Sisyphus And Our Fear

Fear drives us in hundreds of ways, from the doom and gloom of today's headlines to our children whenever they are out of our sight, the adversary fear is always lurking in its many guises. When we try to avoid the inevitable sharp, hard fearful things in life we become as Sisyphus, forever pushing his stone uphill only to watch it again roll back down the hill a few feet short of the summit, doggedly following it down to begin the endless trudge once again. We will never reach the illusionary safe harbor of enough abundance, good health, secure employment, “perfect” children or any of the other secular things that are supposed to assuage our fears. The best investments can and have failed, though we should do all we can to guard our health, no one gets out alive, even the best companies suffer through downturns and try as we might to protect and teach them, our children will walk their own path, make their own mistakes, just as we had to.

Living on the Spiritual Basis we place fear in its proper perspective: Life is unmanageable and we are ultimately powerless over it, and this truth sets us free. Living on the new basis, the basis of trusting and relying on God, when faced with fear in its various guises we now understand this day is just one day in eternity, that prayer is always the answer even when we are unsure of the question, and habitual meditation leads to peace of heart and spirit. The choice is always ours; trust the carnal mind, relying on our finite knowledge and resources to solve the fear problem or place ourselves unreservedly into the arms of infinite love, guidance and abundance and be free. Choose wisely.
