Fear can guide you to deeper understanding when you allow yourself to listen to Fear’s message.

Fear is a misconception about Truth which can become frozen within.

Fear holds within seeds for release.

Fear holds within you strands of panic and pain.

Fear also holds your truth.

This is the message that awaits you.

The challenge is allowing the message not to be overcome by the surrounding panic and pain.

Pain at its core is a subversion of truth.

Physical pain is held within the body when the body is asked to bear what it should not be required to bear.

Emotional pain arises in the midst of any pain when the heart witnesses what should not be required because it goes against individual truth.

Spiritual Pain arises when the Physical and Spiritual natures are out of balance between them and with Universal Life Force.

Fear thus arises from the occurrence of pain, the knowing and memory of pain, and the deep seated desire to avoid pain.

People though often mistake the way in which to deal with fear and pain as either avoidance or denial.  If x happens when y happens, I will now always avoid x and y.  In the initial moments this may be a very reasonable coping strategy, but over time x and y become frozen within you as arrested potential wanting to become form, festering like a sore one would rather, and usually does, ignore.

Frozen energy will push for release and niggle at the edges of your awareness until you have the courage to listen.

The response to fear is not avoidance or denial, but a gentle attention to fear through these questions:

What will allow me to release the frozen energy within, allowing it to complete its journey of potential to form to potential?

What is my fear’s message for me today?

Listen to the message of fear to find your way through.

Listen to fear’s message to find release from fear’s pain.

Listen to the message to find balance and truth.

In Witness with gentle attention,

Cheryl

PS — As someone who has dealt with crippling amounts of fear built up through too many events no one should bear, I do not speak of fear lightly, like it is something easy to put aside or to deal with simply.  Fear can overwhelm you making it difficult to live life at all.  Like I discuss above, eventually, the way beyond is through, by focusing on the message.  But don’t confuse listening to the message as a requirement to relive the pain.  Sometimes this is necessary, but not always.  And when it is too much to bear alone, find help, find support, someone who will stand witness with you to your message.

In the lives of our friends and family, there is much that happens that we cannot know because we are not privy to their internal, eternal process of Knowing.

Knowing is an inner, individual process which illuminates our darker corners. Knowing is ever evolving — becoming from moment to moment — a new motion within as we live our lives within what we know, do not know, and are yet unable to know.

In this sense the unknowable is that which is just beyond our grasp — that which dances just beyond our field of perception. The unknowable can go unnoticed easily as we go about the day-in and day-out of our lives. Yet the unknowable is also that which beckons, unrecognized, as the motivator of action, of thought, and of feeling.

Sometimes we mistake the unknowable as the dangerous and the chaotic because the unknowable can feel like the waters we dare never enter.

Look around you. Look at the circumstances of your life. Feel into the edges. What is unknowable? What feels like you should not enter? Ask yourself: Why? Ask yourself: Why not enter my unknowable? What will I find? What may I learn to embrace into my Knowing?

Winter is the time we take in each year’s passing to commune with our unknowable. Literally a time of going inside, winter in her barren aspect holds our seeds of knowing.

In this month of two full moons (12/2 & 12/31), the invitation of Winter Solstice from shortening to lengthening, and the many joyous holiday celebrations, I invite you to think a bit on your unknowable, letting the dark unveil your light.

In Joy!

Your journey of a lifetime begins not with a step but with the willingness to consider a new possibility, a new perspective, a new personal truth. 

Allowing the new allows your next step to adventure into new territory, into new possibilities.

Your willingness to consider is the break with a past which no longer serves, creating in this moment your soul’s life journey.

Your life purpose doesn’t exist in some magical world accessible only by the elite and the gifted.  Your life purpose unfolds right before you each time you consider new possibilities and feel within the truth of your next step. 

Know Thyself is an active process of self-discovery, not a process of pre-ordained, imposed steps to the easy life.  Your life purpose is thus not a stagnant thing, pre-determined and beyond your control. 

Your life purpose is the unfolding happening within that you create and that you claim and that you follow because you feel the truth and know it to be your life’s journey, your life’s purpose.
