===='''''[[Golden Rule]]'''''====
When you are attempting to [[discern]] what is best for your well being, it is good to mirror this [[perspective]]. The [[golden rule]] is as applicable to yourself as it is to others by making the [[effort]] to perceive from the [[frame of reference]] of the Master. If, in such [[dilemmas]] you face, you are not certain as to how the master would treat you, you can observe his treatment of [[his apostles]], his closest associates. Know that you are as close to him as were the [[apostles]]. When you are tempted to call down thunder and lightning [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=139:4_John_Zebedee] upon yourself, you know how the master dealt with the Zebedees.([[139:3]]) You know how he understood [[Judas]]. By so doing you can be [[assured]] of [[assistance]] in your [[personal growth]]. You will have the benefit of an objective [[reflection]] within your [[subjective]] [[quandary]]. We who are assigned to you [[individually]] are always keenly interested in these personal struggles, your [[individual]] issues. As we know so well how you [[rate]] yourselves in your success in overcoming your difficulties, we feel it is important to [[encourage]] you to let yourself be treated as [[the Master]] would so treat you.

Elyon: [[Faith]] is perhaps your greatest [[lever]] to dislodge the [[obstacle]] of [[fear]] which comes in your [[path]] from time to time. [[Love]] is also a key aspect, but in this scenario love may be broader and more all-[[encompassing]] than the particular aspect of faith for dealing with fear itself. Fear [[challenges]] you to be [[strong]], to have certain strength of [[character]]. Strength of character often comes from deep rooted [[faith]], faith in yourself, faith in the [[process]], faith in [[the Father]], faith in the entire plan. If one truly has deep taproots into this [[faith]] then when the [[winds]] of [[fear]] blow and threaten to knock you down or knock you off [[course]], the taproot of faith will keep you strong and held fast to your position. So remember when fear presents itself that, if you [[retreat]] to your [[domain]] of [[security]], your [[faith]], the storehouse that you have within you of faith, you will hold strong no matter how strong the winds of [[doubt]] and [[fear]] blow.

Mary: My [[problem]] with [[fear]] is not recognizing it. So I think my tool would be [[focus]], to stay [[conscious]] of what is going on so I can head to the tool box knowing what I have to work on.

Elyon: The [[focus]], the [[magnifying]] glass in your tool box is but another means to enhance your total [[awareness]] of the situation. One may use the magnifying glass or the retro-[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectroscopy spectroscope] (laughter) but the [[intent]] is to increase the overall awareness of your relation to the [[feeling]].

Ginny: I'm dealing with the [[habit]] of [[fear]] rather than a particular moment. I try to do it anyhow, to test it if it is a [[reality]] or just a habit that keeps cropping up. Or, like in this [[conference]], try a little bit of something. It doesn't have to be a big project.
