Fearlessness

Observe the body
To anchor to the present
Observe body in space

Seek what’s there; reality
Not what’s nowhere; fabrication

No problem is bigger than six inches

Observe what’s real
Not what’s not

Self talk is self deception
Language of truth is silence

You are not your thoughts

Progressively,
React
Observe and react
Observe and react less intensely
Observe and not react
Observe and respond

Train the mind
To recognize pathological habitual thought patterns
And edit them

Progressively,
Stillness
Silence
Awareness
Impermanence
Detachment

Train the mind
To identify impermanence of physical experience
And not attach

Root of fear is attachment
Dependence on
An outcome
Plus recognized lack of control

Detachment is fearlessness
Independence from
All outcomes
Plus your best effort

Keep faith in the path
Stay inline with the Law of Nature
And there is nothing to fear
