Spiritual reading: face danger with action, not paralyzing fear

December 6

Today we want to talk about paralyzing fear again. You know of course, but still may avoid consciousness of the currents of fear that are so deftly woven into your daily life. And paralyzing fear, as you are well aware, is the single most dangerous and destructive force on your plane right now.

So it behooves you to recognize it and evade it when possible, and it behooves us to bring it to the fore for another go-‘round. Of course it is
easier to discuss than to vanquish it. If it were not so, paralyzing fear would not hold the power it does.

So we begin with that. In other words, hold reasonable expectations of yourself and others when it comes to fear. It is such a challenging thing, fear. So hard to see the way out when you are in its embrace. And
it can creep in slowly or descend in a second.

As you have probably noticed, you can be moving toward some thing or some accomplishment that feels really right to you when without warning, you are stopped in your tracks. By fear. And knowing what is happening is not always enough to subvert it or stop it.

We will repeat a familiar mantra: fear is an illusion. There is actually nothing you need to fear, nothing you will endure that is any worse than that which you have already survived. Or not survived, in another incarnation. As adults, you can see that there is no valid role for paralyzing fear in your world. Concern, perhaps.

Thoughtful assessment, yes. But fear? Paralyzing fear is nothing but a means that has been used to control and manipulate you. After years of exposure to it, you have likely internalized the techniques and used them on yourself. And sad to say, you have probably used them on one or more occasions to control or manipulate someone else. You can see, though, that there is no positive need for fear in your world, can’t you? You tend to carry a false belief that fear can alert and protect you from danger. Your intuition recognizes danger, but paralyzing fear serves only to isolate, freeze and incapacitate you.

So today, we ask you to look for fear—in yourself and in those around you. Notice when and why you are feeling it, what has triggered it. And pay attention to any circumstances where you may be engendering it in others. It is habit, currency in your world. And it is utterly toxic. But you know this.

The thing that today offers itself to you so beautifully is the opportunity to see it more clearly, to pick it out of the tapestry of your life and identify it. Once you see it, it is easier to identify the difference between danger that you may wish to side-step, and the emotion which can so easily control you.

And speaking of control…

It is also a great day to let go of attachments that you have used to mask your fears and to imitate safety. Attachments to people, practices, habits. Whatever you know prevents you from living here and now in trust and joy.

Offer it up to Spirit today and you will receive much support.

We will be cheering you on. This is a very, very tough thing, we know. But in order to be free and strong, you need to at very least recognize your fear for what it is. Practice this today, and please, ask for all the help you need in softening and lessening it as the day goes on.

We love you and send many, many blessings.

……Crisis creating the new Aryan man

 

47 – Forty-Seven
K’un / Exhaustion

A Dead Sea, its Waters spent eons ago, more deadly than the desert surrounding it: The Superior Person will stake his life and fortune on what he deeply believes.

Triumph belongs to those who endure.

Trial and tribulation can hone exceptional character to a razor edge that slices deftly through every challenge.

Action prevails where words will fail.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

This is the realm of the Shaman.

You have exhausted every alternative, spent yourself completely, taxed body and mind beyond your former limits.

Survival and salvation lie beyond your reach now.

Only transcendence to a new existence — a higher plane of being — will see you through.

The Old You is just a dry husk.

You can’t return to it.

Metamorphosis is the only grace offered.

You can only return to your homeland as a New You.

 

The lake is above, water below; the lake is empty, dried up.
Exhaustion is expressed in yet another way: at the top, a dark line is holding down two light lines; below, a light line is hemmed in between two dark ones. The upper trigram belongs to the principle of darkness, the lower to the principle of light. Thus everywhere superior men are oppressed and held in restraint by inferior men.

THE JUDGEMENT

OPPRESSION. Success. Perseverance.
The great man brings about good fortune.
No blame.
When one has something to say,
It is not believed, only actions.

 

Times of adversity are the reverse of times of success, but they can lead to success if they befall the right man.

When a strong man meets with adversity, he remains cheerful despite all danger, and this cheerfulness is the source of later successes; it is that stability which is stronger than fate.

He who lets his spirit be broken by exhaustion certainly has no success. But if adversity only bends a man, it creates in him a power to react that is bound in time to manifest itself. No inferior man is capable of this.

Only the great man brings about good fortune and remains blameless. It is true that for the time being outward influence is denied him, because his words have no effect. Therefore in times of adversity it is important to be strong within and sparing of words.
