yeah, I learned that there was only one legitimate fear, one legitimate fear.
One legitimate fear is the fear of being separated from our source, whatever you want to call that.
And they say, specifically in Judaism, that the beginning of wisdom is when we recognize that that is the only fear.
So my job is to keep myself close to the will of that source and always in the sight of that source.
I'm the same as everybody, I make mistakes, but I live virtuously because I understand the rules of this fixed planet.
And all the other fears, all the other fears that present themselves, and they do present themselves, especially when I start talking to people like you about the truth, I recognise that each of those fears contains a tincture of light, I mean, if I'm able to absorb that fear, 99% of it, a three-dimensional monster turns into a two-dimensional cartoon and it dissipates.
But exactly what you said as well, Bob, if we allow a fear to stay in us, it blocks light.
So this beautiful light that we receive comes to the negative filter of this perception or this belief or this concept or this cognition and it projects onto our reality and it becomes very, very real for people.
So I recognize when I'm able to overcome a fear, I'm not really overcoming a fear, I'm just converting ignorance into knowledge.
