I can't say that I am "completely fearless" at the present time...the one time I did feel "completely fearless" brought with it some brand new life-experiences (a garden-variety brain disease, among others) that have consequently created "new" fears for me to deal with...I'm starting to believe that this is how "life" goes--as soon as you attain one level of surety, confidence, comfort, or "wisdom", you have created the opportunity to attain yet another level of surety, confidence, comfort, or "wisdom"...it seems as though "fear" causes one to perceive this newly created opportunity as hardship rather than growth...I try to "remember" to have "some faith" in the notion that there is a time for every purpose, and, that my own "presence" serves others as much as myself...I try to "remember" that there has never been a "time" when I did not exist, and that I can never "expire"...in short, I try to remember my "divinity" without getting too caught up in the drama of so-called human emotion...it doesn't always dissolve "every" fear, but it keeps my head up.
