Changes

What did I do about it? I struggled for a few minutes (I don't think it even went into hours) to intellectualize. I did read from the [[Urantia Book]] again to make sure I remembered correctly what it said about the [[rebel midwayers]]. I heard from my teachers and I heard from my [[Thought Adjuster]], I believe, as I hear through my mind, that being a mixed bag, that the only [[reality]] to this stuff anymore is what you would term the [[collective consciousness]], those thoughts are still there. They have no power over anyone necessarily.

I was quite amazed to experience that old fear. It has been years. It was quite frightening but it didn't overwhelm me. I let it go shortly. I also feel that it happened to me because I was [[physically]] weak with this [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flu flu] that I had when I read that posting. It was like remembering a [[trauma]]. There was a certain amount of fear in remembering the trauma but it wasn't the same thing. And now as I am talking about it I am not experiencing any fright for I do not believe there really are these things. I do believe and trust the [[Fifth Epochal Revelation]] and do trust my [[Thought Adjuster]] and I do trust [[the teachers]]. So my [[faith]] conquered my [[fear]]."

Tomas: "My son, you have answered the question poignantly, that is to say, as you [[expose]] a fear to the [[light]] of day you rob it of its [[power]]. As you encounter [[individuals]] in your path that are struggling in the grips of fear, who are essentially possessed by the power of fear, you may relieve the situation as required by drawing out the individual to know his or her fears, to put them on the table and [[dissect]] them as [[necessary]] to discover what the core fear is. By this time the fear will lose its [[power]] by the [[love]] and [[compassion]] which transpires in the love you bring to the [[individual]] who fears.

Lest you think I make light of this as a [[simple]] [[game]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checkers checkers], I am quick to understand with you that facing fear is hard work and the deeply recessed fears of long standing that are wedged in the [[memory]], that are deep seated in your conditioning are even more difficult to bring forth for you have consciously long forgotten that the fear existed. Excuse my reiteration that we are [[Correcting Time]] and that even these experiences which trouble your [[psyche]] and [[soul]] are on the index of subjects that may be addressed as Correcting Time work. Just because something is submerged and is not obvious does not mean that it is not profoundly affecting you, your [[behaviors]], your environment, your [[universe]], your [[life]] and the lives of others. [Ed. note: [[Freud]]'s theory of [[repression]] and neurosis to a tee!] You recall the [[parable]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_and_the_Pea princess and the pea] and recall, too, the power of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mustard_seed mustard seed]. Deeply inlaid are these matters which we willingly, eagerly bring to [[light]]; and you may help resolve the [[darkness]] by gently bringing to the surface those terrors which are part of the historicity of [[humanity]] on [[this planet]].

The [[idea]] of being 'taken over' of 'losing [[control]]', of course is terrifying to an intelligent [[mind]]. I ask you to reflect on our lesson on [[sincerity]] for when you are sincere you may even be wrong and you are still well loved."

Isaac: I think it's a very dangerous thing in our [[culture]] that so many people expose themselves to very scary [[idea]]s because it can cause a classical conditioning known as a phobic [[reaction]]. And even though you have an [[intellectual]] [[understanding]] that something is not fearful, because of the [[cellular]] level of conditioning you can experience the phobia, the fear. And that was what partly amazed me was that I had intellectually swept this away long ago. There was a classical trigger (conditioned stimulus) in this report of this [[channeler]] being harassed by this dragon thing, it was so similar to the [[demon]] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Exorcist the exorcist] that it was like facing a [[nightmare]] and experiencing it over again.

If you are willing to tell me, Tomas, how did you know about this? I didn't talk to you about it. And if you don't want to say, that's okay, too. I wasn't planning on discussing this tonight."
