The Denial of Satan
When Fear Raises its Ugly Head
Like it or not, one's fears must be addressed before gaining access to the kingdom. A person may outwardly hide their trepidation but there is no escape for what lurks inside. Each individual seeks removal of their own personal darkness.
Fear is Conquered by the Light
Despite the claims of various sources, fear will subsist in the shadows until dispelled by the light of wisdom. Within the light is the stillness, a person at peace is centered.
The Root of Fear is Death
The coming Apocalypse is faced by all, not an earthly cataclysm but a destruction of the seeds of our desire. An inward dissolution of the construct that built our fear, an inner resolution that breaks the barrier to freedom.
