All you see is the shadow of it &#8212; what it projects in order to hide itself. But where is this fear hiding? It&#8217;s hiding inside of a nature that has to have something to fear, to worry about, to hate in order for it to remain in place as it does in a set of opposites that can never be seen by a mind looking for the source of the fear.<\/p>\n<p>How many times have you solved your fears? A thousand times! &#8220;I&#8217;m afraid of this. Well, I&#8217;ll go do that. So now that&#8217;s done &#8212; is my fear still here? Oh yes, it is. I&#8217;m just not afraid of that anymore.&#8221; So you\u2019re afraid of something else, and you say, &#8220;Yes, but when I get it solved, then I&#8217;ll be free of that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Such is the lineage of human consciousness: Forever tackling, one at a time, the head of the Hydra, hoping that we&#8217;re going to bring an end to the beast when the beast is not the individual head.
