Killing Fear

I found the opposite of, the remedy for, fear:

–Faith.
Tonight, as a last resort, the faith, I embrace,
because there is no other place left for me to go.

As David says in the psalms, enemies are everywhere.Fighting has become impossible, because there are too many, too armed of fists, of words, of principles.

All that’s left : surrender,
not to them, surrender the will not to leave
the battlefield.
Body and mind,
relying on, turning back to,God, Christ, Nature.

This inner movement of faith appears along a range of expressions.
Depending on whether you are closer to one pole or the other on the dual/non-dual axis,
a type of practice, a kind of fatigue, a loneliness, a form of sadness.
This has little impact and all the commentators here get bogged down and obscure this movement of consciousness which is what matters above all.
Especially since in such moments of despair– of hope — truth call, and the dual/non-dual axis
is more of a circle.

Prayer becomes silent contemplation
and the deep seat calls to the Lord.
