Taken from 'The Golden Thread'

"Fear you know, is the great enemy of the soul. Fear is the great enemy of the spirit. There are many, many battles being fought upon your world; disease, pestilence, anger, oppression, hatred, greed, selfishness.....but at the root of many of these lies fear. Fear saps and drains away the very vital energies of the spirit. Fear is like a cancer that emerges within the individual and grows, almost and often to the point where it consumes all rational thinking and you know, fear is at the root, at the heart of so much disease and illness upon your earth.

And yet how do you conquer fear? How do you rid yourself of fear? You know, the greatest fear is fear of the unknown. Fear of that which is to be. Fear is born largely out of ignorance. Where there is knowledge, where there is understanding, there, fear cannot find a true lodgement within the heart. Learn to put fear aside. Learn to imbibe the qualities of love, tolerance, compassion, understanding, trust and faith. Allied with fact and knowledge.

Knowledge removes fear. Where there is understanding, where there is a realisation, there can be no fear. These are the qualities of the higher self, which are of the higher spirit being."
