Breaking the grip of fear

Emily Wright Jaeger

Is it possible to be fearless in the face of great danger? The answer to this question is found in the understanding that fear is not a cause, as some believe; it is the effect of believing in two powers—good and evil, Spirit and matter. To break the mesmerism of fear, one must first be awakened out of the matter-based thought of two powers to the understanding of one power, one God, who is always good.

I had an unforgettable experience that demonstrated to me how this spiritual understanding that God is the one and only power can break the grip of fear. The truths learned in this experience have carried me through many trials in my life.
