Fear factor: After you know the truth and start opening up to the life, you will become more fearful of dangerous situations. It is natural and to be expected; it tells you that you are on the right path and becoming more aware. The fear can serve a positive or negative purpose, depending on how you look at it. It can have a powerful negative effect if you let it close you down and make you less aware of the present. Never try to mentally hide from anything. Use fear as a cue to bring you into the present. Fear is a great positive if you let the fear make you more aware of life; let it bring you more into the present. Fear can make you more aware, more in the present. Fear is the minds greatest tool to control you, but if you take control of it, fear can be used as your greatest tool to free yourself from the mind. What is now your worst enemy can become your best friend. Make fear your friend. Look at a coyote; it lives in constant fear and is aware of everything happening around it. Get into fear when it occurs, and use it to open you up to life. Never let it close you down more. As Marlon Brando says at the end of the movie Apocalypse Now: “You have to make horror your friend, or it will be an enemy to truly fear.” Fear never really goes away, because it is a reflex response to dangerous situations and is semi-hardwired into our bodies. The best you can do is separate yourself from it, see it for the mind-made thing it is, and not let it control you. From page 51 of The Present ~ truthcontest/entries/the-present-universal-truth/
