The enormous ideology behind fear has been fairly misconstrued. In the eyes and hearts of humanity fear has tangoed with many emotions; despair, guilt, unworthiness, revenge, and utter pain. Fear lurks and shadows in the corners of our minds, and can corrupt our positive insights on life. Though to be frank, fear can be an excuse, just as the reputation of Lucifer, the Devil, and or fallen angel, which ever description fits your biblical understandings. Fear can be pinged for failure, as Lucifer is lynched for evil. We can place our disappointments on many of beliefs, but where is the responsibility in that? There are few who have been brave enough to shake hands with fear and to thank this brilliant emotion for its teachings. Fear can be a horrific replacement for knowledge, what cannot be grasped, tasted, felt, known; fear substitutes. And so we fear what we yearn to comprehend, we fear ourselves. What may seem frightening about fear is a chance of conquering our doubts and faults. “The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.”- Joseph Campbell. Just as a child’s imagination can run tiresome in the dark, depicting and noticing illustrations of fear painted on the walls, as soon as a parent ignites the bedroom light what was once vivid and alarming melts within the light. All fears may yearn for love and all darkness may yearn for light. It is our choice to acknowledge this once crippling emotion and to saturate it with brilliance which is us all. Fear can be devastatingly overwhelming if the time and realization isn’t brought into prospective. Nurturing fear can be the best result for success, acknowledging what is an illusion that the mind may perceive as stress. There is an immense light within us all; this light is intangible, pure, effortless and illuminating. It can conquer fear if we a will it to, if we may fill ourselves with this comprehension our end results can be limitless. "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." --- Frank Herbert, Dune - Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear. Fear can be a promising perception, although light can be everlasting.
