Swami said:
One of my more powerful teachers used to say that fear is merely a negative prayer for the feared thing to happen. I have yet to master this simple, yet sublime teaching.




Fear IMO is basically an 'ego' response - as in ego vs self.

What I find fearful another may not - therefor it is not the thing itself which is frightening - it is just how it is percieved and reacted to.

Your teacher was wrong, wrong, wrong. Rational fear is a good thing. It keeps us on our toes. It is irrational fear that is bad.

"A warrior is a hunter. He calculates everything. That's control. Once his calculations are over, he acts. He lets go. That's abandon. A warrior is not a leaf at the mercy of the wind. No one can push him; no one can make him do things against himself or against his better judgment. A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions." ― Carlos Castaneda

Fuck rational fear AND irrational fear.

FEAR IS GOOD...

We must simply TRANSLATE FEAR into what it is TRULY trying to say.
