empoweredFear can be debilitating. Look at this word, debilitating: taking away your abilities. Fear is not real. It is a construct of the mind, a protective measure of the ego, which is a construct of consciousness. Your real abilities lie in your essential nature as a beautiful, eternal soul whose essence is love and goodness and joy. Anything less than this is impermanent and comes and goes. Your true abilities to love and be at peace comes from your true nature. When fear enters into your awareness, look it squarely in the face with peace and naught but awareness that only love is real. Fear will dissolve, for it was nothing but a passing cloud. There. Do you see what awareness does? It debilitates fear.
