Somewhere in the deep crevices of your mind
Sleeps the key to a peaceful life.
Like all magical possibilities,
Serenity awaits your sincere desire,
And an illuminated understanding that Your imagination inflates, multiplies, and exaggerates FEAR.
If you are alert, and practice sufficiently,
Your mind-brain can filter menacing signals
Before your imagination ties you into knots,
Blows them way out of proportion, and
Saturates every cell in your body with
The absolute certainty of sudden agony, loss, and death.
That adrenaline charge compels swift action, EVEN IF ACTION IS NOT NECESSARY.
When you master your imagination,
You master inflated, artificial fear.
Doesn’t mean no fear. Doesn’t mean no action.
Truth is, no matter where you go, or what you do,
As long as you live in a vulnerable body
You will need to take action to survive.
That’s what humans do.
But . . . hormone driven fear does not have to be the impetus.
Be vigilant. Breathe. Think before you act.
Use reason to intercept incoming signals
And keep your fear aligned with reality.
There is no agony worse than that which you cause yourself.
