Default Re: Be here NOW

Brinty, your story reminded me of when I was a teenager. Spooky movies I tended to avoid. I took my kids to Jurssic Park and was an absolute cot case!!! But another time I remember was when I learned judo as a teenager. I lived in Invercargill then, at the very bottom of New Zealand. I would walk home from my judo class about a mile, through all the parks, in the dark. I was always looking forward for someone to attack me so I could try out my new judo moves!!!! My world was very safe and the streets were every kids playground.

What I did later in life, when I did have fears, was to eventually follow the thread of my fears in my mind to find the very basis of them. It was fear of dying! When I looked at that fear squarely, without running, it disapated. I could then move on and move out in my life. Life opened up for me in magical ways and I have never looked back.

Love and Light
