“You who do not know how to trade your separated state for that of union have still done so when you have loved freely and without fear. In this state your memory returns to you of who you are, and you are innocent and joyous and one with love itself. . . .Nothing but fear could take the memory of love from you, or replace so quickly the glory that is your nature with the specialness that is not.” (A Course of Love, C:14.28)
Fear is of the ego, and fear is a game changer in the hope of reaching Christ-consciousness. We cannot, in fact, reach enlightenment when we still entertain fear. But, the rub, how to stop the fear that so often threatens to engulf us?
Prayer is one answer, in all likelihood the best answer that we could ever devise. And it is not our idea, but an intuition and an experience that comes from God. Our prayers put us in alignment with something greater than we are, and this Someone has the power to right our little world immediately. We don’t have to suffer anxiety any longer; it just dissipates when we start to pray.
Meditation is similar, of course. We go into a zone-type of thinking that eases our minds. We don’t actively think at all; we focus on a sacred word or our breathing. And the miraculous effect takes over.
Talking with a treasured friend is yet another solution to fear. Others have known the same fear that we dread, though often we think that we are all alone because they haven’t told us about their anxieties, wanting to appear strong and solid to us. This is a fallacy, of course, which we will come to see when we converse intimately. All short of enlightenment are victims of the fear mongrels that rob us of peace of mind.
Think a bit of the practices that have given us peace of mind in the past. Of course, like all things, this fear, too, shall pass. But there are a myriad of practices which can speed fear along its way, never to return in quite the same way again.
Trust that guidance will lead us out of the darkness of our anxieties and our fears. Trust that choosing to be unity one with another will be an almost magical solution to an intractable problem.
MIRACLES EACH DAY 
I really needed to hear this today… thank you<3
I use the mighty Violet Flame to transmute any fears or anxieties that come up as a way to start my day.
“ Beloved I AM Presence bright. Around me seal your tube of Light, from Ascended Master Flame called forth in God’s own name. May it keep my temple free from all discord sent to me.
I AM calling forth Violet Fire to blaze and transmute all desire, keeping on in freedoms name till I Am One with the Violet Flame.”
I can say this and it dispels fear, which then keeps me centered in my Heart. This time is for the Heart to come forth and lead our thoughts and actions with Compassion, Mercy and Love; to be One!
