Without it, what would you dare to do?

Without fear, what would you dare to do?

When I mean fear, I do not mean fear caused by a current physical danger, we do not know when they will occur and, to be honest, when someone or something physically threatens us right now, we are either going to freeze, fight or take flight. It is not imaginary, it is real. We deal with a situation that occurs now, we do not have time to think, we simply accept and do something, or not.

Psychological fear is what sabotages us doing things constantly throughout our lives. It comes from the mind’s incessant obsession with projecting an imaginary future for us, driven by the self-image and all its insecurities, the need to protect the precious ego.

Being driven by our endless thoughts leads to an imagined fear, one that prohibits us from doing. As it is not a fear caused by physical danger and is only imagined, it is not real, and therefore, we can not cope with it or deal with, as it has not and will not, ever happen.

So without psychological fear, so that means without thinking of the future and thus living in our real lives, right now this moment, what would you do? What would you try?

Crazy, the insanity of creating imaginary fear to stop us living our lives now in the present moment to protect a mind created self-image known as our ego.

More light

The clocks have gone forward for summer time in the UK and many of us are still wondering how on earth we can remember how to change the clock on the cooker.

Every day in the Northern hemisphere it is going to be lighter for longer until the Summer Solstice and then the days shorten again.

Life can be like that if we allow it, light and darker days, depending on our mindset and reactions.

There is another choice, allow light to be there even when the days are dark. We all have a light inside us and a place of peace and calm that we can access by being present in the moment that is now and away from the dark thoughts that the mind can produce.

Stillness can be there no matter how light or dark your days are. Over time, more light comes every day whether it is summer or not.
