Fear

Fear. We fear when we face something that seems more powerful than, or unbeknown to us.

But once we realize that we have that same something within ourselves, there is nothing to be afraid of anymore.

And not only that.

At this moment in time, there is no need to, no place to, even talk about power anymore. The feeling then arisen will be, without a choice, Love. Love is Powerless. Love is Empty.

As the famous quote from Carl Jung says: "Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other."

I suddenly remember the scene when all the Maras were attacking Buddha as one of the final test before the Enlightenment.... They all turned into flowers....

I wonder if I can do the same when I see a cockroach flying towards me.
