What is it about fear that gets us all tied up in knots? Is it the biological realm rearing its head in the face of a possible threat? Is it our minds making mountains out of molehills? Or is it some other nefarious element that lies outside of our control? The “fight or flight” response says “you must make a choice,” based on what’s in front of you and what capacity you believe you have to deal with it.
It’s not always right, this “fight or flight” response. Sometimes we act when leaving would be a better option. Sometimes we stay to quickly learn that was inadvisable. So how do we deal with fear in a manner that is most compatible with our True Self?
The nature of fear is twofold. First, we are reacting to a real or perceived danger. Second, there is an urge to do something about it, be it magical or otherwise. For a physical danger, fight or flight is likely the best course of action. We measure the danger and act, by either removing ourselves or confronting it.
