Illuminating Our Dark Side

Published on by Eugene Morgan

What is life? An illusion, a shadow, a story. And the greatest good is little enough: for all life is a dream, and dreams themselves are only dreams.

“If you are uncertain about something, you tend to avoid it.” Milton Erickson

Uncertainty is another word for doubt.  Doubting is another form of not knowing.  We don’t know how we will react to something revealed to us that’s unknown. When we fear the unknown, our fears begin to grow.  It can grow into other areas of our lives as well, if we’re not careful.  Our scope of understanding gets narrowed, when we don’t seek out and learn what’s behind the  door of the basement cellar.   We can open the cellar door and turn on light of knowledge and learn something valuable really about yourself.  We create our reality and our truth about ourselves and project them into the world.

Fearing Little is the Only Way Out

“And what do you need to fear? Very little that you need to fear.” Milton Erickson

Fear is a feeling. Fear saves lives. Fear is paralyzing. Fear speaks the truth about something. Fear speaks lies, too. Our assumptions about things can fuel a fear. Fear, if not felt, is projecting into something threatening that doesn’t exist. Fear is very real but a perceived danger isn’t. There are big fears and little fears. Big fears are unmanageable but if broken down into smaller fears— manageable.  Erickson, says in his above quote, there is very little that we need to fear.
