We are not at the mercy of anyone. Our fear fades when we realize that no one does anything TO us, that what we attract comes into our experience as a result of our vibrational frequency.  What do you spend the most time thinking about and talking about?  Good stuff?  Hopeful stuff?  Or the hard life you’ve had and continue to have? That you’re underpaid and the government is targetting you? Because that’s where you’re vibing. That’s your point of attraction. It’s always your choice. What do I do if I’m afraid there’s a monster in the bushes?  I stay away from the bushes. Whether there is one or not, I stop talking about a monster in the bushes.  That’s how I handle my fear.  The only thing in the bushes is me anyway.  No one does anything TO us. Our fear fades when we realizes everything we experience is either a boomerang or a magnet.  When we clear up the past and get kind and helpful and happy in the Now, there’s no longer anything to be afraid of.
