Who is afraid?<br />Is it you?<br />Or is it just a story you made up?<br /><br />I woke up pissed at my wife this morning, and I had to wait for a while before I kissed her, because it took time to realize it wasn&#39;t really her who pissed me off in the last dream.<br /><br />Love,<br />WernerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120597504594559579.post-946428404319757282010-06-16T17:14:35.264-07:002010-06-16T17:14:35.264-07:00Nahnni,<br /><br />&quot;I think we may do everything we do for a moment of no fear.&quot;<br /><br />Yes, in fact, many would do just about anything. But, if we have the ability to engage a moment of no fear, that then may be highly indicative of our choice to engage in many continuous moments of fear.<br /><br />Either way, somewhere in consciousness, a choice is made...<br /><br />Thanks,<br />mikeSMikeShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10978313265796058909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120597504594559579.post-67459807573676625712010-06-16T11:04:50.926-07:002010-06-16T11:04:50.926-07:00I thought maybe to start an actual blog. Maybe out of fear and angst, maybe out a state of genuine confusion and annoyance. <br /><br />&quot;You were not Created from fear&quot;<br /><br />Suddenly, I wonder if that is true. What does not fear and tremble? Serenity is fleeting. A sudden and unfamiliar sound, and the animals and people scatter. Even the trees shake. I think we may do everything we do for a moment of no fear.<br /><br />Blessings~Nahnnihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11699757229438095679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120597504594559579.post-39510269533474891822010-06-14T15:15:33.861-07:002010-06-14T15:15:33.861-07:00Right on!<br /><br />I have never met you, yet I feel as if you are having my experience. I would expect all are having these emotions manifested in different experience. Yet very few would ever admit it. A gigantic lie, yet so powerful it drives life&#39;s experience on Earth at the highest levels.<br /><br />So... how can I do or not do, care and not care, be and not be. I don&#39;t know. And maybe that is the answer. Maybe allowing that I don&#39;t know, and letting that be enough is the answer.<br /><br />Or maybe that there is no answer. Maybe the dropping of the question altogether. Yet that feels fake. hahhh.<br /><br />Appreciate the feedback!Michael Hnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120597504594559579.post-63612111799903058112010-06-14T10:44:17.687-07:002010-06-14T10:44:17.687-07:00&quot;I am constantly defending my &quot;self&quot;. I must look a certain way or I&#39;ll lose my bonus. I must never sweat in front of people or I&#39;ll lose my reputation. I must never be wrong, or I will lose my job. If I lose my job, I might lose my house. If I lose my house, I might lose my friends. If I lose my friends, I might be rejected by my family. If I am rejected by my family, I may end up alone.&quot;<br /><br />Yep, Michael, I know that well...been there, done that and still doin&#39; it!<br /><br />&quot;I would rather take drugs to tranquilize the sweat inducing fear and keep the mask than to allow whatever life wants to teach at each moment.&quot;<br /><br />Unfortunately, been there, done that too!<br /><br />&quot;Now the part I cannot seem to get; how do I let go of fear. How does it simply switch in the moment.&quot;<br /><br />Not sure yet, but it has something to do with the fact that &#39;it doesn&#39;t matter,&#39; since that keeps coming up for me and I keep resisting it with everything I think that matters.<br /><br />Maybe a future post...<br /><br />Thanks!<br />mikeSMikeShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10978313265796058909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120597504594559579.post-35752927992297307922010-06-13T21:27:40.332-07:002010-06-13T21:27:40.332-07:00Dude... your writing is exploding. This was powerful.<br /><br />I am finding myself more and more anxious with people. Especially those I work with. I am constantly defending my &quot;self&quot;. I must look a certain way or I&#39;ll lose my bonus. I must never sweat in front of people or I&#39;ll lose my reputation. I must never be wrong, or I will lose my job. If I lose my job, I might lose my house. If I lose my house, I might lose my friends. If I lose my friends, I might be rejected by my family. If I am rejected by my family, I may end up alone.<br /><br />Wow... and in the end, to allow that all to be true. To allow that to happen as part of the wonder of life. That is freedom. There is nothing more right or wrong in that result than its opposite.<br /><br />Yet still hold on to my fear. I would rather take drugs to tranquilize the sweat inducing fear and keep the mask than to allow whatever life wants to teach at each moment. My resistance is futile, and only damages the machine; the body.<br /><br />Yet damage it I continue to do. Why? Because it is all I know. And all I know is based on fear. All I am known to be in the realm, is based on fear. I know of no other way.<br /><br />Effing amazing. Now the part I cannot seem to get; how do I let go of fear. How does it simply switch in the moment.<br /><br />I fear I do not know. :)Michael Hnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120597504594559579.post-64500929613353638272010-06-13T07:24:16.764-07:002010-06-13T07:24:16.764-07:00Hey Werner,<br /><br />Yep, it never ends...<br /><br />Nice to know your still there...<br /><br />Thanks!<br />mikeSMikeShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10978313265796058909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120597504594559579.post-16189281830783520022010-06-12T15:14:07.042-07:002010-06-12T15:14:07.042-07:00Nice to so you two at it again :)<br /><br />WernerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
