FEAR VS COURAGE
In a world that monopolizes and controls through fear. It’s important we understand our own fears and sit with them to understand the illusions we cling to.
Our personal Spiritual Journey teaches a lot about fear. My month long Shamanic Death, plus the Rite of Passages and Spirit guided initiations have been intense and chock full of incredible lessons about fear vs courage.
These long horned bulls have also been incredible teachers. They once pinned me up against my tent. I had no idea what to do but to pray as all 6 of them stood 3 feet in front of me waving their horns.
I prayed out loud, “what do I do Jesus, Buddha, Babaji?”. Immediately I heard sing AUM. As I did they dropped their heads and started eating grass. I eventually got into my tent until one by one they pushed their curious heads into the net of my tent looking me in the eyes. My consciousness traveled deep into theirs. It was there I could see the mycelium of the soil, their soul. Their deep inner and sacred connection with the soul of the earth.
Remember when in fear, you have so many unseen beings waiting for you to ask for help.
