A Story on Fear, Courage, and Rising into the Wondrous

I recently heard a story that reminded me of an experience I had while on a three month retreat in upstate New York. I’m a city person, and I was sent into the woods to live in a tiny hand-built pyramid-shaped Hermitage with a cot, little cooking stove, a tiny window, and bare basics. The purpose was to be in silence and get in touch with the voice within. To be truthful, I was apprehensive to say the least.

“Words are bodies or forces which move spirally and return in due season to cross the lives of their creators.”

When it was time for meals, I’d hike up a long winding road to the main house. This truly was a “wilderness experience” for me. One day, as I walked to the main house for lunch, a snake slithered out of the high grass and ran across my foot. The incident frightened me. I don’t like snakes, and obviously, it triggered fear in me.

Fear attracted the snake on the path, and fearlessness removed it.

I paused and began to breathe slowly. I reminded myself that I was safe. I asked for Divine support as I persisted to focus my gaze towards the main house. I kept walking forward in the face of adversity. As I walked on, the weight of the disturbance disappeared.

Our snakes (fears) are within ourselves. Fear is False. Evidence. Appearing. Real

Courage contains magic. By reframing the encounter, I applied the Law of Non- Resistance. Nothing can resist a non-resistant person. Owing to the vibratory power of my thoughts, choices, and action, the fear didn’t collapse me into a state of powerlessness.

Yes, it takes determination and vigilance to pay attention to our thoughts, feelings and self-talk. Each of us must starve out our individual “army of apprehensive thought-forms,” until all false ideas fade away and we attract pleasant conditions.

Recently I heard a story about eagles and snakes.

Did you know that eagles don’t fight snakes on the ground?

An eagle understands that if you fight the snake on the ground, the snake will win because the snake is comfortable on the ground.

So, the wise eagle zooms in and latches into the snake. It takes the snake out of its comfort zone. It wields it and throws it in the air.

Once in the air, the snake has no stamina. The snake has no ground. In the air, the snake cannot fight back. It loses all power.

The eagle knows exactly what he’s doing when he throws that snake in the air.

In the sky, the snake’s power to frighten is neutralized. The snake, like our fear, is vulnerable when you do not panic or shift into “reactive mind, self-sabotage syndrome”.

TAKE YOUR BATTLE INTO THE SPIRIT REALM

The same is true when we have a goal,(like me wanting lunch), and suddenly without warning we encounter a snake or unexpected challenge on our path.

The knowledge of Universal Laws is the beginning of Wisdom. Freedom from “scary” situations, circumstances, and conditions comes through knowledge, the application of Spiritual Law and an understanding of the “Realm of the Wondrous.”

TAKE YOUR BATTLES INTO THE SPIRIT REALM WHERE FEAR HAS NO POWER.

•  Tap into your courage

•  Surrender your fear to the “One Who Knows”,

•  Let go and trust Infinite Intelligence will reveal answers and solutions

•  Go the distance.

The Imaging Faculty is the creative faculty.

Imagine that the eagle is the Law. The eagle, like the Law, stands behind each of us who fearlessly invests in our images. Once your inner house is in order in Consciousness, fears, like the snake, may pop up unexpectedly, but the person remains undisturbed by appearances.

The Laws of Mind:

When handled with wisdom, you take the the fear and rise up into the Realm of the Wondrous where fear has no power. That fear only has power in the 3D reality.

•  Once you know your power the way the eagle knows its power, you understand the working of your mind, and rapidly expand into the divine plan of your life.

•  By rising into the Realm of the Wondrous, into higher vibrations, you cast your burden upon the Living Spirit.

•  The battle between the fear (the snake and the eagle), is similar to the conditioned mind and the Infinite.

Fly high, knowing that the Infinite cannot fail. IT is All Power. At the appropriate moment, the manifestation of your dream, be it wealth, happiness, harmony, or health will come forth.

Many times, there is darkness before the dawn, before the big demonstration, when everything appears to be going wrong. Stay the course. Stand strong.

The power to free yourself from 3D reality and low vibrational frequencies comes by rising into courage and fearlessness.

And in the twinkling of an eye, solutions appear out of the nothingness.
