To experience FORGIVENESS, one has to undertake some major and an unusual work of the spirit. This is not easy. Then again, I did not promise you an easy way to health. The truth is that only Love or Forgiveness can neutralize the action of fear. This is an eternal law of the spiritual and emotional world as the sunrise is on planet Earth. It is easy to say, but it is very difficult to truly do it. Our fear addiction has quite a long historic and genetic memory. Our soul has been trained to instantly accumulate hurt feelings, so that righteous rage results almost immediately. This is a non-stop process. Now, in some unbelievable manner we have to get inside the process in order to break the vicious circle of fear, because

FEAR IS THE ABSOLUTE MECHANISM

Fear is the perfect mechanism for the destruction of humans. Perfect! Without defects! But LOGIC can make a hole in it, since it is different from the logic of the destructive mechanism. Fear is dangerous because it creates its own logic. It is not scary in itself, until our charming intellect joins in, saying, "You are scared because..." Do you remember when we dissected this justification? The longer a person lives with this fear, the more moral justifications he finds for it, embellishing its necessity. Here lies the danger of fear: As it is in alliance with our mind, its logic cannot be destroyed by anything else, since they become united as one. It can only be destroyed by ANOTHER logic, capable of breaking the entire chain of erroneous conclusions which form the foundation of our fear.

Therefore, no matter what happens, we instantly justify our fears. This happens automatically, it was developed by our ancestors. Now, with the help of this method, I am trying to create a small opening in this stronghold. You keep tell me, that I am making small progress, only rattling the wall, without bringing it down. What is in it for you? Really, nothing, if I am the one who tries to perceive the nature of fear, while you are indignant.

Fear itself is afraid of healthy reasoning and logic; but for reasoning and logic, it is not afraid of anything, not even death. Even more so, death is fear's ally and friend, as in every convenient case when we experience strong fear, we think it might be better to die than to correct something - that is how scared we get! Death becomes deliverance. Isn't that sad?

I am saddened when a person immediately runs and tries to hide behind the Grim Reaper. This happens because the person doesn't know that by embracing common sense, he or she will always get a chance to lose his or her fear. Our common sense is activated when the mind fails to follow the emotion, but rather says, "Stop, let me really take a look at this. Is this really as scary, or outrageous as it seems?" Having separated emotions from logic, we now embrace common sense - wisdom. Believe me, this is the truth.

My method employs this single weapon which can triumph over fear. Although we are all born with fear, we should learn to coexist with it, and apply all this ";medicine"; which we were given by our higher nature, by divine intervention, or Wisdom.

Skeptic: Do I understand this righ - is it common sense, forgiveness and love? So, what else is new? Hasn't mankind tried to embrace these all throughout history?

Author: What's new is its practical application. As far as I know, only philosophy presently holds the monopoly to the use of such virtues. Listen, I would like to see these qualities turn from the subject matter of irrelevant discussions into practical tools for spiritual and emotional health. This "medicine" should be functional inside every person because we need it. This "medicine' heals our frightened minds, our scared souls and fearful bodies.

Yes, we love to proclaim that love heals. How does it do it? How can it treat someone for whom it is an abstract notion not common to the soul where fear maintains its stronghold?
