Morning Reflection – 3.
Fear 3:
The less you have God in your life, the more you have fear present in your life .
Fill in the empty spaces of your heart with the fullness of God and fear won’t have space in the dwelling of your soul. The spiritual experience is a human psychological need you cannot evade. Illnesses of diffuse and mysterious etiology, like panic disorder, stem from this negligence, in the fundamental field of human existence.
You will find people who make a list of a thousand reasons to be terrified and think they are very intelligent because of that. Conversely, they could make another list, one of reasons to marvel and delight them with life. They do not realize this list would be as easy to prepare as the former, and how it would be more pleasant making the latter, without even mentioning the magnificent effects it would have in their lives.
Do not believe in the hypnotic suggestions of the culture of fear that surrounds you and that is one of the most characterizing aspects of the current stage of human civilization. Make your own brain wash, according to your interests, your goals, your happiness. One thing is certain: fear is of no service to your peace, to your soul, to you. It is up to you, therefore, to defeat it, with all the strength of the heart and of the mind.
