The Antidote to Fear

November 25th, 2008

Fear is at the bottom on this interesting time we’re going through with money, jobs and security. When the stockmarket crashes, the money goes to a few people who were lucky enough to get out in time. And now that money is sitting in bank accounts, or some other finanical investment. The money hasn’t disappeared off the face of the planet. It’s still here….it just isn’t circulating. Banks are not lending to other banks, and the people with the money are not circulating it. So we, the ones in the middle can’t get hold of it.

And at the bottom of all this is fear. Fear of losing money. Fear of losing jobs and fear of losing security, pensions, savings….fear of ending up in a cardboard box on a park bench with no money and no food.

The only way out of this mess is to give ourselves an antidote….and that is love. The oppositie of fear is love. It is written all through the bible and any other spiritual book, “fear not!” “Love yourself, love your neighbor, love your life.

So today, and throughout this season of thanksgiving, fear not. Love yourself, love your neighbor, friends, family, co-worker, customer, boss. Love the stranger on the street, in the store. Love is the antidote of fear, and it starts with each one of us. Rock N Roll Val & Jeff
