Transcend - Transmute - Remember

It tickles me when those in the spiritual community say that we shouldn't be afraid of anything--or even going so far to say that they don't fear anything.

We're human.

Fear is a part of that experience.

Show me just one person--those in the spiritual community included--who is not afraid of something, and I will show you the mask they're wearing, their own spiritual illusion they're under.

Fear is its own illusion, but that doesn't mean that we don't feel it from time to time.

We TRANSCEND it.

We TRANSMUTE it.

We REMEMBER that fear is the antithesis of love and return to a state of love.

That is how we overcome fear. But to say that you never fear, to say that you're never afraid, is spiritual ego at its finest.

What happens when you acknowledge your fear? You begin the beautiful first step past it.

The same goes for any other emotions. We move through our emotions in the way that serves us, the way in which we process the world (and don't let anyone say that your process is wrong). Some of us process analytically. Some of us process emotionally. Either way, we work our way through it, release, and let go.

That is healing.

Not pretending and suppressing but by moving through and accepting.

Awareness of the unified self as both spirit and human and not the separation of the two.

That’s what being truly conscious is about.
