Card #362 – Facing Down Your Fears

This is an auspicious time to face down your fears. Don’t run from them, run them down. Use the energy of fear as energy to do your best. Feel the fear and keep taking constructive action anyway. You can take it. As FDR said, “There is nothing to fear but fear itself.”

The Litany Against Fear

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
