Have you ever overcome a fear? If so, how did you? The most common fear is the fear of public speaking. I wrote an Affirmatioin to erase that fear. *SunChild*

"I am now changing my subconscious programming concerning public speaking. I am a SUPERLATIVE public speaker! I have something to say, and I enjoy saying it. I derive pleasure from watching the faces in the audience; the audience responds beautifully. My breathing and heartbeat remain normal, because public speaking is something I love, not something I fear!"

There's a lot of power in that affirmation! Love it!

“It’s an interesting thing. Seeing Kuan Yin relating to a flower so intently. She's not just looking at it; she's interacting with it…I’m seeing how the act of relating to a flower appears to be so simple. Yet, it takes a tremendous amount of courage to make such a “simple” act important. Now, the lotus is floating away.”

Everytime a fear dies, The world opens up a little more.

Copy&Pasted:

The litany against fear is an incantation used by the Bene Gesserit throughout the series to focus their minds and calm themselves in times of peril. The litany is as follows:

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me, and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
**Only I will remain**

Lady Jessica teaches it to her son Paul, who uses it in Dune when faced with Mohiam's test of his ability to withstand excruciating pain. The litany is shortened in David Lynch's 1984 film.


Good message: *new link added.

I learned that litany, because,I felt that It made sense. I have forgotten it now.

When fear arises, Some part of that litany + my experience come back to me.

The problem is normally dealt with in "quick fashion"

A scene from "Children of Dune" is needed, but is not available.

I will try to explain:

Leto the second, Paul's son, has been given mass doses of a substance called "Spice". This spice changed the mind,too much would kill.

He was able to survive, His body grew very hard, His test was to face a "Sand Storm". These storms would strip flesh from bone due to the speed of the sand moving.

As the "Tidal wave" of wind and sand approached, deafening winds, You could hear leto screaming that litany.

---------------------------------------

Time Passes

---------------------------------------

A calm, serene desert, still sand, no motion.


A fist bursts through the sand, straight up!

Leto pulls himself out of the sand, he was buried beneath.

-------------------------------------

Symbolically,

You must be strong enough, to get out of the sand, after you face, YOUR, storm.

--------

On a personal note, I thought it was one of the more powerful moments from the mini-series.

Did you ever see, "Dragon, The Bruce lee Story"?

OK in this clip, what you need to know, is this is metaphysical, this is a dream, But it has real consequences.

This is His spirit, The child, is his son's spirit.

I said this once before, The universe is hostile, It is a struggle until you win.

It is meant to be hostile, only the strong, pass.
