There are many types of anti-anxiety drugs in the market today, similar to the infinite number of pain relievers that dorn the shelves of many drug stores across the country. This might be better explained by the fact that no single medication can effectively work in every patient, humans are unique and have unique needs in terms of what responds best to their respective conditions. Just imagine a situation where the best medication for anxiety are required, you might often find this becoming a trial and error game to most patients. Doctors can never be 100% confident that the type of drug administered or the first dose given will result to the desired effect. With this in mind, it becomes quite difficult to say with certainity, what the best anxiety medications really are.

Its common for doctors to prescribe the two major class of medications for anxiety treatment. The ideal type of anxiety medication will mostly be a combination involving two or more anti-anxiety drugs and anti-depressants. These combined effort of two drugs works wonders in alleviating both immediate and long term symptoms. The concoction is therefore very effective in both short and long term use.

It might be worth to note that, while every effort is made by doctors in seeking out perfect remedies for anxiety, patients on their side can help a great deal if they adhere to a few basic things. Some of these measure will actively involves patients in their treament, and are as follows:
1. Creating time to read and understand the medication. Not even the best anxiety medication can work properly if incorrectly taken. It’s therefore essential for patients to be familiar with what they are taking, the duration of the medication, how it works and the time it takes to activate, because, while some medications produce an instant impact, others take time to show visible indication of recovery in patients using them. Having this information beforehand can greatly help patients accurately gauge the effectiveness of the prescription.
2. Dosage understanding. For the case of anti-depresants, its essential to take the medication as prescribed. This may include sticking to the dose amount as directed and also keeping the proper times of day to use the medicine.
3. Reporting complications. Most good anxiety medications do come with a multitude of potential side effects and precautions. It’s therefore important for patients using this medications to report any reservations they may have and side effects, this also involves medications that don’t seem to work as required.
4. Drug contradictions. It’s worth noting that some best types of anxiety medication may not combine well with other medications including herbal preparations and even food. This knowledge is vital to patients and will help them avoid potential contradictions in the course of their medication.

Most excellent anxiety medications are well equipped to enable patients of anxiety disorder deal with the symptoms that may prove bothersome. Setting about to find the best medication is largely a matter of personal circumstance and specific symptoms. It may involve some trial and error in the process, so fortitude is always a plus factor.

Yesterday, I went to hempcon and they had a booth where they had doctors come and give you a recommendation. I thought, "What the hell" and got one and they didn’t even question me or anything. I have depression and anxiety but I’m on medication for it
Today, I went to the local dispensary and got some marijuana and right now, I feel extremely guilty and feel like I’m not doing it out of medical use but just to buy it legally.
Does anyone know how I can end the recommendation, I feel really bad and guilty

JACOB!!!! There is absolutely no reason for you to feel guilty. depression and anxiety are real medical issues that can be helped by medical marijuana. I work for an organization that has helped legalize medical marijuana and you did nothing wrong. I do get really frustrated with those people who make up illnesses to get it, because they turn a very serious thing into a joke, but depression and anxiety are really reasons to have it.

I don’t know what you take for anxiety, but medical mj is great, there are no side effects and you will feel much better. If it turns out that you don’t want to use the recommendation, just don’t get any more, it is that simple, but you so shouldn’t feel the way you do.

You sound like a kind hearted guy! I wish I could give you my email address, so we could talk about this more if you want to. Take care and good luck and just toss that guilt right out the window!

*I no this is extremely long and ur probably busy, but I would really appreciate it if you’d read and answer my question because I really need ur help. Thank you!

K so a few weeks ago my friend was was telling me how she has obsessive compulsive disorder and although I’ve heard the name many times, I never really knew what it was. So I decided to do some research. The more research I did, the more I started to thinknI have OCD. I was on this site reading people’s real-life stories and mine doesn’t seem that bad (If I have it at all) but I think it would be best to be diagnosed with it now before it takes over my life. Here are some of the symptoms I have. As far as I know these are OCD symptoms, but please correct me if I’m wrong

-when I was about 7 or 8 I would sometimes think "what if i stuck my finger between those two little prongs on an electrical cord and plugged it in and electrocuted myself" it was weird because I had this urge to do it kinda but I didn’t want to and I couldn’t explain why I wa even thinking this and I remember being terrified I would do it.

-everything must be in a specific order/arranged perfectly. For example, I won’t eat a hot dog if the toppings aren’t in the correct order (ketchup, musturd, relish) and same with tacos (beef, salsa, sour cream, cheese, tomatoe, tettuce). I also organize things by colours such as the cloths in my closet (pink, red, orange, yellow, green, light blue, dark blue, purple, magenta, brown [darkest to lightest], white, grey [lightest to darkest], black) and I’ll spend hours arranging and rearranging books by series, author, genre, size,etc. The most recent example I have of random organization is my strep pills. I have strep so I got medication for it and I put them in one of those little daily pill things. I put three in each day and I arranged them so the three in Sunday had the yellow end facing me and the ones in Monday had the red end facing me and so on.

-sometimes I’ll just get random violent urges. Like I’ll be holding my cat and I’ll realize just how easy it would be to snap her leg. It’s like with the plug thing. I dont want to but in scared I might. That’s why reading more about OCD is good cuz I found out ppl with OCD don’t act on these. This Aldo started around when I was 8 but never rly went away.

-when I feel there’s something wrong with my appearance one day (ex. A zit, bad hair day) and I walk down the school hallway I feel like people are staring at me and judging me. Like just this Friday that happened to me. I kept looking at the ground and walking faster and faster desperatly needing to get to my locker where I would feel safe. I don’t think I rly had this sense of "what the hells happening to me?" like some ppl seem to, in fact, until I researched symptoms of OCD I never thought there was anything wrong with me. I just genuinly thought ppl were staring at me cuz I had a zit.

-as a child I would go to the mall with my mom and only step on the white tiles. My mom would get mad at me bc I would run into ppl and thought it was just me playing sone kind of silly game but now I realize it was OCD. That explains why it made me so anxious to step on the blue tiles too. Even now when I’m walking home from school I’ll watch my footsteps carefully and count how it takes three squares between the times I step on the crack and I step on it with my right foot. If this gets messed up someone I have to re-evaluate and may find it now takes two squares and with my left foot. Sometimes I count tiles in the floor pattern in my school and get annoyed when one rectangle has 12 tiles in it and one has 11. Sometimes I count them again and again to make sure I’m positive they aren’t symmetrical.

-I can’t stand not having the door closed. Sometimes I will loom over my shoulder multiple times and still not be satisfied that it’s closed. It even bugs mebwhen someone leaves a door open on tv.

-I suppose I have a slight germaphobia but not in the typical sense. Most ppl will clean their room until it’s spotless. I don’t like clearing it at all because the stuff on the floor is dirty. Like I’ll tidy up the area of the room that I walk in because that’s mostly recent stuff, but honestly that other stuffs been their for like a year so I hate touching it fir fear that it’s crawling with dirt and bugs.

-idk if this has anything to do with OCD but i tend to become way to obsessed with things way to quickly. For example, Adam lambert. I heard his song "whataya want from me" on the radio and added it to my list of songs to download. So one morning I was going thro
my list and was playing music videos cuz I was sick of my old music but too lazy to download new and I realized I’d forgotten just how cute he was and I started reseRchinh stuff about him and downloaded a bunch of his songs and listening to them non stop. (8 hrs in one day listening to nothing but his music and I did that everyday for aweek) so yea I’m completely obsessed with
just remembered one more thing!:

-when I go to the mall, I always buy food. Like it’s uncontrollable. I always swear to not spend money on food but next thing I no, 60 dollars down the drain. The only way I canstop from buying food at the mall is to not bring money. I don’t no if that counts but that seems odd to me.

-I don’t no if this is one either but I eat. I wat all the time. Even when I’m not hungry. And I’m not bored either and I can’t seem to think of a reason why I’m eating. Sometimes I just wanna eat. Like I’ll be watching a half our tv show and I’ll get up 4 tines during that show to either get something to eat or look for something and come back to the couch empty handend. I will often look throught cupboards/fridge, etc looking for food to make sure I didn’t miss anything although I think everyone does that to some degree although usually it’s on a more subconsious level.
It wasnt shyness btw. It was paranoia that everyone was staring at me and judging me and I had to get away and it was very distressing because I couldn’t explain it.

Not all your symptoms sound like OCD behavior. E.g. you being shy and trying to run away sounds more like social anxiety or perhaps just a side effect of being an anxious person. Your germ phobia doesn’t sound like the typical OCD to me. However, all other symptoms, the violence, the arrangement, the tiles, etc. are very typical of OCD. The point I’m getting to is not that you don’t have OCD. You most likely do have it, but you should keep in mind that not all bad things and all anxiety is due to having OCD. Given all this, you are still young. You could learn to manage and overcome this anxiety without medication. Of course, if a specialist disagrees, they are the ones that know best. Your next step is discussing this with your parents and seeking help from a competent clinical psychologist specialized in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Exposure and Response Prevention.

The penis curvature or Personae’s disease is one of the problems filling aged men with stress and anxiety, leading to a sharp decrease of their well being and confidence.
This visible curve makes men afraid of presentation their penis in front of their partners, and most men fear to be seen as freaks or someone to be laugh about.
Penile curvature is just a sickness, a strange physical characteristic. Men pain from a penis curve should not be blamed; they are totally not responsible for this sickness.
Strangely, some men enjoy their new, but very special look. And some men are conceited of this, because their curled penis is a symbol of rebellion, of personality refusing to bow to anybody or anything.
Moreover, some women can also enjoy this strange curved penis form, because the curvature of the penis helps to reach certain untouched areas in the female genitalia and rub them. As you can see, Personae’s disease can be seen as an asset in certain cases.
Causes of curved penis
(i)    Injury to the Male Organ – Most men who suffer penile injuries (especially during violent sports such as football and rugby) are seen to have curves. Especially if there is bleeding, a scar is formed throughout the healing phase of the organ. This scar is formed just below its skin. The result of this surplus star on one side of it will cause curve on the other side.

(ii)    Strenuous Intercourse – There is a chance of getting curves as a result of strenuous sexual activity. During sex, if it is exert much, especially in the love creation position when the woman is on top, then it may get bent due to excess force. The chances are aggravated if there is an injury to it during the act.

(iii)    Tight Clothing – Boys wearing tight underwear could include curved organ when they grow up. When boys wear tight underwear and they get erections, they would push their male organs into the folds of the cloth to hide the bulge from presentation. An undue cramping could damage it and cause it to get curved.
Effects of Curve
Generally speaking, there are no biological effects of a curved male organ. It can function just as effectively as a straight organ.
There is no distinction in the length and inflexibility of erection amid a curved and a straight. During urination, the bent male organ could cause a technical difficulty, as it would misdirect the flow of the urine.
However, men with curved organ are accustomed to hold down their organ towards the urine bowl and thus properly direct the flow
Symptoms of curved penis
1.    One or more small hard lumps bottom the skin, or a nonstop hard, stiff and thickened area.
2.    Sometimes the penis bends very much enough to make sexual     communication difficult, or impossible.
3.    Pain throughout erections caused by the heaviness from the hard areas in the penis, or from the extended skin at the opposite side of the penis.
4.    One may not notice the bend straight away, as it tends to develop over one to three months and later than the rigidity and stiffness of the indurations.
5.    The plastic indurations may progress and cause impotence. Sometimes the Peyroni’s disease will clear up by itself, but this may take several years.
Treatment of curved penis
The most important point to keep in mind at the start of Personae’s disease is that any penile distortion that develops is not the primary problem.  
While a suddenly curved penis is difficult to ignore, it is only a symptom of the real problem of Personae’s disease – the scar or plaque material under the surface of shaft.  If there was no Petronius scar there could be no curved penis.
This is the reason I counsel men who use the Personae’s Disease Institute method of Petronius treatment to focus their time and attention of the size, shape, density and surface qualities of the scar or plaque to determine if their Alternative Medicine treatment is being effective.

Its well understood that a million or more people across the globe are victims to Anxiety Disorders, this disorder causes fear, distress and, at worst depression, despite being relatively treatable. Among the many probable ways that people find useful in managing and treating this condition is by the use of Anxiety medications.

These Anxiety medications are very vital and useful in treating the trite and most distressing of symptoms of anxiety disorders. One of their plus factor is in reducing the effects of panic attacks and assisting people to achieve a greater degree of control over the illiness. This in turn makes handling of issues that crop up during bouts of anxiety disorder quite easy to deal with. Anxiety medication for treatment of anxiety related disorders are therefore only available under physicians prescription and non the less.

Two Category of Anxiety Medication Widely used

Physicians who prescribe anxiety medications usually have a list of generic and brand names of these drugs, to facilitate quick dispensing. The purpose of using this drugs is chiefly to contain the symptoms of anxiety disorder while other therapy forms help the patient cope with the symptoms. An example is Psychotherapy, which is more often advised for anxiety disorders, other types of therapy include relaxation techniques and many more other forms. The general idea behind this, is to provide a patient of anxiety disorder with some level of relief and calm momentarily, while offering remedies that ensure long-termed ability to cope.

Two Major class of anxiety medications include:

Anxiolytics or anti-anxiety drugs. These ones work by reducing the pressures caused by anxiety itself. They are quite effective and fast acting, popular among these are brand names like Xanax and Valium, their biggest setback though, is that they are habit forming especially when used over long periods of time. They may also have negative impact on a persons ability to stay awake over extended periods, hence result to inability to carry out necessary functions. They are therefore prescribed only for short-term use.

Another one is Antidepressants, popular among these class of anxiety medication are brand names like Paxil, Lexapro and Prozac which are widely used in the treatment of the symptoms of anxiety disorders. They are often-times prescribed together with anti-anxiety medications. These anti-depressants are commonly used for extended periods of time and are not as fast acting as anxiolytics in releasing their effect. Additional to combating anxiety related symptoms, similar medications can also help with depression. Though, this is unfortunately, a common known negative effect of anxiety disorder.

Its never easy nor comfortable to leave a life laden with anxiety disorders. Where panic attack induced fears looms large and symptoms ride high in full gear. Due to the high habit-forming potential and other long-term side effects of these drugs, they may not be the only recommended form of treatment. Their use in conjunction with other coping mechanism can greatly help people have control of their lives once more.

Hi there I know the title to this article is much easier said then done and am sure many others including myself found out the hard way.

I wrote this for the people who have just started out in the business, the people thinking about joining a business and the people have had bad experiences from the online business industry and had there fingers burned.

I started looking at internet businesses a few years ago, like alot of other people I was browsing the internet and a work at home business opportunity popped up on my screen saying join us we made 1000’s in weeks (you know the one am on about a couple on the beach or on a yacht with big cheesy grins) online simple, and I thought why not I will give it a try? DISASTER!!

I looked at a couple of opportunities before I finally decided which one I was going to join (funnily enough it was the one that popped up on my screen originally), now I am sure that I am not the only one that has experienced this, but before you join a business your upline or sponsors are calling you every 5 minutes to chat with you and let you know how amazing this opportunity is, once in a lifetime the best thing since sliced bread, then once you sign up and hand your money over thats it they vanish they are impossible to get in touch with, and the few times I did get hold of them they was about as useful as a handbrake on a canoe!

This was a time where I needed them most, myself like alot of people who join the industry I did not have a clue how to run a successful business and market it online, all the help and assistance I had been promised was quickly fading into the distance!

I was growing increasingly frustrated and decided to take action if I was going to make any money I was going to have to do it myself. At the time I thought to make money I was going to have to spend money, but in this game if you dont know what doing your money can disappear fast and to compete with the top players it costs a fortune!

Unfortunately I lost every penny I put into it ended with a lot less cash then I started with (broke as a joke) and ran away from my business with my tail between my legs.

If you dont know what your doing with this business it can come as quite a shock because there are so many things into account and its not as easy as some people make out.

There are so many ways you can run a successful business with out hardly spending anything through various free advertising, blogging, forums, article marketing the list is endless.

In this industry you have to crawl before you can walk take it one step at a time and you will get there in the end otherwise you throw all your money and your dreams down the toilet.

Your probably thinking why I did keep on plugging away at the work from home industry chasing the impossible dream, to be honest I couldnt answer that maybe am crazy am sure my girlfriend thinks so! After a few more failed attempts I was ready to throw in the towel I had been left battered and bruised enough times when I stumbled on my next venture with

My Internet Business

. It stood out to me, but I still had my demons in the back of my head saying its got to be to good to be true, because I had my doubts I was invited on an information call and all my questions were answered I had finally found an online business that was ran efficiently. Once I joined not only did I have regular contact with sponsor but a wealth of video’s and tutorials going into detail of all marketing techniques and skills needed to run a successful business that I could go through at my own pace!

I finally got there in the end and I know for alot of people it feels like your pushing a rock up a mountain sometimes, but dont be overwhelmed by everything keep your feet on the ground dont panic and take one step at a time. For anyone interested in following in my footsteps I would recommend My Internet Business to anyone it really is everything its says it is.

If you would like to know more about me and My Internet Business take a look at my website

thanks for reading and good luck to everyone for the future!

Dear Friends:

This is a message about the true reality of who we are and why we are here in these times. Please help spread it as widely as you can. This is probably the most important message I have shared, so far.

I usually send a message on the first of each year. This year I feel it incumbent upon myself to address you all as the holiday season of Light is upon us.

First let me wish a merry holiday season to you and your loved ones and a happy year 2009. May the Force of the One shine brightly over you and embrace you in its peaceful Loving presence.

This is a very special holiday season, quite unlike any other. This is a turning point.

Today December 21, 2008 is the Winter solstice.

It is during this coldest of days, and when the light of our Sun is at its dimmest, the night at its longest, that we all naturally gravitate back to what we feel is most important and familiar to us: our family, our friends, and the desire to reunite and be in their loving company.

It is a time for reigniting brotherhood, a time to invite the presence and symbols of our intelligent Divine Feminine original womb: Mother Nature, within our dwellings and heart. It is the period when our natural focus is on gifting out love and tokens of appreciations to all we cherish. We take great pleasure from this, quite in opposition to other times when our attention is much more self-centered upon receiving and hoarding.

It is a time for great lessons and realignment with our core values and purpose as a human family.

It is a festival of Light, when we, in the dark of winter and night, pray that the small living Light burning Life within our inner temple should last long enough to link up and merge with a gigantic Sun soon.

These are Holy days indeed, because of where our intentions and consciousness should lie now: a time of potential great realizations and gigantic shifts in awareness.

A long and probably brutal winter lies ahead for our world. It needs to be so. It is in reality a gigantic cleansing, a stupendous reality shift, a gift of seasons gifted by the One. It can become a destructive challenge or a helpful friend depending on how we perceive it.

It is but a natural cycle and a precursor to the moment when we will all, after having planned and decided on our future course as a human family, engage the next expansionary season and spring forward towards newer and better dreams of great potential basked in and blessed by the growing brilliance of a renewed and energetic brilliant Sunlight.

I am of course speaking in metaphorical terms about this period in Creation which seems at first quite unsettling to so many. Know that beyond it and after it lies a world of great beauty yet unseen and potentials yet unrealized, the like of which mankind has never witnessed nor ever yet dreamed about.

You can view all that is happening with the myopic construct of what your eyes only see, your human mind perceives, or expand your awareness to a much higher vista and see the cosmic plot that is unfolding in front of your very eyes.

I will try in the next years to help you get a glimpse of a higher vision and then blend your earth surface viewpoint with that of a Higher perspective of realities that are and things that must become, so that you can formulate a Higher and more sustainable vision of our upcoming paradise, in the midst of perceivable chaos.

This is what I came here to do.

There is much confusion abounding. Old voices and refrains resound and not much realization is yet seeping through.

These are hard times to many and most.

What used to be only happenings over there and then, is now happening, evermore so, here and now, everywhere and on all shores. No one is nor will be immune. We are about to become gloriously and painfully made aware that we are all One. We are either all going to rise up as One family or we will falter as One.

No one is immune to this tsunami of change. No one can hide in denial anymore.

What we predicted since 1996 and especially since 2004 is coming to fruition: The Great Shift has begun; the great Tsunami of Love has splashed upon our shores.

I know that it is hard for many to see a positive long-term plan and light future ahead when we feel swallowed up by such powerful maelstroms. I know how difficult it is to feel Loved and express love when encountering existential fear and concerns about security and survival.

That is why I beg you to read the following message of hope and Truth.

I know that there is much bewilderment and great anxiety. The many are looking for guidance and understanding from the many.   Few, if any, voices shine wisdom above the restrictive slogans and limited intelligence of the established advisors in our media, our institution of higher learning, political pundits, and the gurus we rely upon for direction.

I would strongly advise you to revisit our site at your own leisure, read and embark upon the inner restructuring that our training courses foment, and slowly absorb the articles we wrote since 1996 regarding this stupendous new era.

I ask for your help in spreading these concepts and words for I know how important it is, when feeling lost, to be gifted a compass and a loving Presence within.

I have tried to help prepare you mentally and spiritually for what lies ahead and has already been proven to have started. You cannot be in negation anymore.

Denial is not an option. You just cannot afford it. The Great Ascension process is fully engaged, the slope is steep and the challenge is great. Although I would wish it to be different, not all will reach the destination.

Please do not visit every day the state of your material reserves but only focus on the state of your inner preparedness and alignment with the great shift towards Oneness and unity.

I wish I could have done, and prepared you and myself, even more. Time is often an irony as it weaves circumstances in often unforeseen ways. We need to act with what we have available to us. I know, nevertheless, that co-operation, fraternity, and unity of purpose are key and I call upon it.  I am also greatly restricted within linear realities and that is why I ask for your help in spreading this message to a world dazed, blinded, hard hit, and in need of some solace, direction, effective tools of inner guidance, and understanding.

I wish I could tell you that things will reverse to their old state in a year, 2, or 3, 10, or more from now.  But I cannot. They will not. Not then, not ever.

Please realize that ALL of the old structures which by far-and-large were bent on separation, destructive competition, control, power, and elitism will never be revisited again in their old format.

The old world is dying; a new world is peeking in.

The transition will be arduous, and only your inner realizations can make it shorter and smoother, or make it linger longer and harsher. Nevertheless, nothing can stop this cleansing and balancing process of reunification anymore. It is firmly engaged.

I explained last week in my last teleseminar why these are such crucial times and why they must be engaged, not only for this Creation, this universe, but for ALL Creation. This is the fulcrum, the reversal point. The heart of Creation, as the One,  has projected and expanded as much as It possibly could in Its exploration of the illusion of separation as the illusory many facets, and time has come to engage in the reverse process of contraction back to the Oneness. From an outward focus towards the multiplicity, we need, at al levels of Creation, to turn around and back onto a focus onto the One: our Source.

“Eons of miscreation have occurred allowed only by Himself in order to test the Creative abilities of His parts.

Time has come to bring the flock back home to The One. And, in this great corrective phase that He is undertaking as One, He will need to directly intervene so that man knows that man has not created man and that God did.”

The One. February 26, 2007

Two years ago on January 1, 2007 I received from the One a message. In it, He wished for this period to unfold in an easier and smoother way. But He also recognized the inevitability of the Creative process ahead and was asking for the many to pay great attention to the Great Cleansing that had started, and is now fully engaged:

“The One is asking the many to slowly, patiently, pay attention to much of the guidance that He will tend to project from within their inner selves.

He wishes often that the unfolding of events be smoother. Nevertheless, He has allowed Himself to be restricted by His original plan and program as a challenge to Him, as the many facets operating within His gigantic Mind.

There is still a small window of opportunity to soften the blow of the awakening process, and it is The Godliness’s dream and wish that mankind shall invite within its heart the attention it needs now in order to show Oneness of purpose and existence to all and resist the temptation to slowly extinguish its inner Light as challenging events, which will call upon the inner resources of the many, will try to start happening to project Oneness within the One Heart of ALL.”

The One. New year 2007 message. 

In a message, published on our site in 2004, as a page was turning for humanity I wrote:

“As was mentioned in a prior message originating in 1991 from the One Himself, Truth is about to light up the dark recesses of untruth, lies, deceptions, and illusory strength/power.

All lies, are ultimately lies to our selves, to our real Being, and that cannot be extant for long.

Truth is about to reveal Itself, and in that act nothing can impede It.

Much of what we have taken for granted as accepted truths and programmed beliefs systems, will clash against a new “reality.” Many will understand that this is but a wake-up call from the One Consciousness to Consciousness, for all is One. Others will stubbornly retreat, entrench, and fight for whatever old political, scientific, or spiritual beliefs they hold dear and immutable. Nothing can stop the Truth of One from being revealed. What can change is the form this realization takes. We each have free-will to bathe in Its reality, or fight for the illusion a bit more. For the ones who will be in the realization and the knowing that the One Loving Intelligence is guiding our gradual awakening from the Dream, most events will be seen in the Light of the Intelligent Guidance which they wish to reflect. The brightest of their inner dreams will manifest. Inner calm, love, joy, and protection will be their guidance.

For the ones who continue to live in denial, fear, elitism, and in the untruth of their old fear-based belief systems and power structures, the greatest fear of their worst inner nightmares will manifest, and they will experience on the outside the inner demons that they have created on the inside.

The world is but a reflective mirror of the pages that our thoughts write in the book of life. “

Message from Gerald O’Donnell 2004

Know that this period is that of a bridge to a new world, a moment of temporary darkness and harsh environment set in to help us reunite as a family around what is really important and what really matters: “us” as human beings bent on love and not “them” as things and “stuff” which have been the source of illusory power and control by man over man.

I can only state and transmit to you one true new and immanent law that has been set in place by the Creator for this new period. It will go against much of what many in the so-called manifesting field are clamoring for. The law is as follows: no personal paradise will ever be Divinely sustained, and made manifest by Higher Intelligence for us, unless it carries within its core focus the intention to benefit all of Creation, humans and nature alike. All other forms of chimerical private paradise will, like seeds on unfertile soil, eventually just dissolve and be proven to be false artificial paradises.

It is only when you personal bubble of reality will encompass dreams and actions for a world filled with beauty, love, security, and peace for ALL its components, that it will meet the prerequisites of Oneness, and that it will get the support of the ONLY force that really achieves real and permanent manifestations in a co-creative act with ourselves: The One and Only.

“The One and Only wants to state that He will search deep within the heart of each individual for a spark of recognition of the reality that the Creator, as The One, cares deeply about His Creation, for, if any individual thinks that The One does not, he will have to face The One Himself and the fury of Oneness which is showing Itself in Creation never to be neglected again.”

Message from the Holy One February 26, 2007

If that were not to be the case, as it is sadly shown around us now, that support will be totally withdrawn or absent, and man will need to built his chimerical clusters of temporary solace on his/her own. And this act, where man only relies on the laws of man, will become more and more difficult and precarious.

We are not in front of a precipice as a Creation. We are off the cliff, off the charts, into the void.

We should have seen it coming. Many of us forewarned enough about this. However eyes would not see, ears would not hear. Too many beings were inside of a golden-plated vehicle traveling merrily towards the abyss, and only gave attention to its glitter and structures. Most only thought that these structures, these systems, be it corporations, markets, or government institution, or what many would call the “universe,” made them the gods of their universe, the idols of their dreams, imparting these structures with some mystical force of care and balance built-in within their operation. Most worshiped the high priests of these false belief systems, the ones who could show the greatest benefit from them. Most worshiped idols made of gold, glitter, and paper.

The live interior was irrelevant, only the exterior counted. We mostly focused and still focus on the cover, the mask, the ego, the body, not the inner spirit and heart.

The mind created that, the heart did not. There is no spirit within the human mind, it only exists within the heart.

The heart was a slave to the mind, when the mind should have bowed down in deep respect to the heart.

We were all, as a society, worshiping idols: spiritual gods and goddesses, gifted human names, who we espoused because of our birth program, or the gods of dead matter - of “stuff,” which we could associate much more easily with. We had the One real Life Force put into a spiritual box, relegated to physical locations such as material temples or even denied completely in order to evade carrying guilt feelings as we acted in the way we chose to.

We worshiped in front of “walls’ and structures which are but symbols of separation for they define insiders and outsiders. We revered Wall Street and its priestly casts and favorites. We tried to be in their intimate “presence’ and associate with them or even partake of or imitate their lavish gluttonous rapacious lifestyle.

And all the while the train of Creation was accelerating, evermore so, towards the cliff.

The party inside was going on unabated. Nothing would nor could stop it, was the accepted motto. We all professed that it would and should go on forever, grow exponentially every year, every season. The consumption of liquid material “spirits” was increasing, numbing all critical awareness. We were all drunk and intoxicated on the “nothing.”

In the meantime the earth below us and the oceans surrounding us, were bleeding from our assaults and insults. The air was marred in poisons and stench, and was killing thousands upon thousands of Holy Living species put here in on purpose by the Real Creator: The One.

How many really cared about this final act of madness and looked through the fogged window outside of their glass towering skyscrapers of selfishness? The world was insignificant when viewed from such heights of ego. The world was our playground as long as the champagne flowed, and zeros were being added behind zeros forming millions, billions, trillions, and zillions on electronic entries in electronic money accounts around the bleeding planet.

We all dreamed of more zeros, we only associated with zeros, with nothingness, with the “nothing” and its opposing double horned spirals,  symbols of polarity, of positive and negative, of competitive conflict.  We forgot the One; we forgot the notion of One and Oneness. We made selfishness our new religion: our idol - our political, economical, and societal god.

The tower of Babel was at its peak: We were about to conquer Heavens! We claimed god and goddess status as co-creators, without responsibilities to the earth, without real awareness, without universal love and care, without connection to each other and to our Source. We proclaimed god-like powers in the realms of intelligence, of science, technology, exploitation of earth’s resources and the manipulation of the laws of nature to our benefits. We were born entitled to that status! After all our parents had told us so, our educators confirmed it, our families required it, our old or new age spiritual leaders convinced us of it, and our governmental or economical systems and leadership saw it as their mission to help fulfill the prophesy of ever growing chimerical paradise and to “deliver” what we had come to expect of them.

And suddenly on 10/10/2008 we fell off the cliff. The day of reckoning had come. There was great silence all around the globe.

All sensed that something was ajar. Many watching the world financial markets spoke of the unknown abyss confronting us.

What they did not understand was that we had fallen off the cliff. We were in the void, only sustained by the Creator of the Void and at Its mercy.

An awareness of the immensity of what was happening clicked on the periphery of our mass consciousness.

We stood at attention, in silent prayers, and hopes.

Heart opened again to silent beckoning to Higher power - just in case, and temples filled with wishers for peace, healing, and a come back to the status quo ante.

We asked of our priests of selfishness to heal the structures we were so familiar with, keep the party and old dream going and apply some pain medicine.

Of course, we did it in the allopathic and not the holistic way.  We never really addressed the true and wholesome cause, the root problem; we zeroed in on the syndrome.

We took the medicines, any possible one, as long as it would be proven to relieve the pain, the syndrome, even for a short moment. More opiates to the people to suppress the awareness!

We applied more zeros to the already glutted world of zeros.

The priests of our idol worshiping materialistic religions hurried to formulate new formulas and economical theories based on the eventual re-balance of the zero-based worshiping system which they had believed would always balance itself out, on its own, miraculously so.

The theory was still floating that free-markets had been bestowed with divine-like intelligent powers with a sort of demiurge god intelligently built-in somehow within. No one dared question the accepted lore of the politically correct ones. That so-called intelligent force, if left uncontrolled, free and unchecked, was thought to balance all and bring the survival of the fittest in the economical jungle. And somewhat miraculously this would end up and thought to benefit the common good of all.

Humanity had shifted from the notion of a Creator having gifted a certain amount of free-will to His human creatures, towards an absurd idea of free-will creating a new form of intelligent creator!

However this notion had now been challenged in the great fall of 2008. When before the god of matter “mammon” was believed to be built in within dead money matter and markets, now the many allowed and claimed for a need for human intervention and regulatory supervision of ‘his’ wisdom. What a pitiful sight of human frailty!

And nothing really worked. Structures upon structures crumbled under the weight of TRUTH, as all the lies, false faces, and prophets of false paradises became revealed, one after another, and will continue to be so.

Corporations are only about money, not about people. They were created as such, and for no other reasons. Why impute them with what they have not been created for? To have allowed these illusory entities to dictate and control our lives, choose leadership, and control all and everything is showing a lack of fortitude on all our parts and a myopic vision of reality.

This is where en-lightened One-heart-centered leadership comes to play. It is high time for real in-spired leadership to arise somewhere, some time, in this One ship adrift we call our planet Earth. It is high time, for One to take back control of One in Oneness.

We are off the cliff.  And we are to remain so for quite a while. A long time, in our human perception.

Whether you will be gifted Flight or pulled down in the gravitational spiral will be your choice and your choice alone. No one can nor will make this choice for you. No one should. This is your ultimate act of free-will as a co-Creator.

This is the main reason why you are appearing at this junction of time/space: to be gifted individually that very choice. Don’t let others or ANY system, especially fear-based, make that choice for you.

It is a choice that you need to make within your heart and a choice that ONLY beckons your heart and not your human mind.

Were you to choose unity of man with all men, of man with its Divine embodiment as Nature, and unity of Being and purpose with the One Source, you will gifted Flight.

Were you to choose dis-unity and systems still based on separation, elitism, disrespect, and lies, you will follow all the structures that are now disappearing in front of your own eyes. Neither human power nor structure shall be able to oppose the Oneness.

“The rule is as follows: The strong shall not rule nor impose on the weak, but Truth shall rule and impose on untruth, on falsehood.  That is the rule by which His mind is going to operate from now on.  Therefore, as Truth spreads, His own essence: the original essence of Himself, spreads within His own Mind, and He likes more and more what He sees and perceives of Himself.  As Truth is blocked, He is blocked, and that cannot be allowed, for He has to spread the truth about Himself to all the parts that make Him, so that they all know that we are all One.  He is asking all the parts that make Him to rejoin their essence, to accept to forget parts of their memory banks, to forgive, and to enter into the rejoicing that this will c ause to the One-and-Only to be part of the final celebration. 

The rule is not and was never that the strong rules the weak.  This is a misconception given by the Godliness to the creations of Adam (Universal Mind of Mankind) on purpose, to His projection, the first one: Atzilut.  Adam carried that misconception within Himself and within all the parts that He projected out, and it is reflected at all levels of the creations of Adam.  Adam was bound and ruled by this misconception, and through this misconception he operated and based His modus operandi on the prevalence of the strong over the weak.  That is why within the tree of Adam, vibratory levels and quantity of consciousness were paramount to its operation and on purpose so.  So that He should perceive that the way by which He operated must be the way by which the God liness operates in its totality.  And He should therefore think that by accumulating enough quantity of consciousness at a perceived vibratory level - high enough to be one which He would then think is part of the unmanifest region of the Mind of the Godliness - He could then rule by conquest the ultimate Mind.  This is to show how one misconception given within the dream of Creation to all of the entities that then operate it: the misconception of might ruling, of strength having dominion over weakness, with all the ensuing violence at all the levels - could bring about distorted plots, intrigues, lies, misconceptions about the true Reality, and a lack of common goals.

At the level of the Godliness, might nor force rules; it never did and it never will, because all of it is illusionary.  Strength is but a dream of one’s own limitations.  When one has integrated that reality, when one part realizes the futility of all that it has done, it will then decide on its own to forget that misconception and understand that it was ruled and restricted by it because it was given to it by the Godliness for an experimental purpose.  But as It rejoins its source, Its womb, so- to- speak, and is basking in the limitless light of the Everything, vibratory levels or quantity of consciousness have no meaning.  What has a meaning and what really rules is Truth: Emet (Truth in Hebrew); Truth in acknowledging who one really is, which means realizing that one is only but a part, a fa cet, of One Mind -  The only Mind there is, there was, and there will ever be.”

Message from the One. 1991

You can choose the old proven unworkable ways based on selfish separation and then you’ll be on your own, void of wings, in the void. Or you can choose the new yet unseen and un-revealed new Creation based only and foremost upon Oneness and Purity of intent and you’ll be gifted wings and sustained in the void. Time has been accelerating, as you’ll all been witnessing in the last years and especially these last months. We are outside of old time, of old space. We are all witnessing now the “quickening” of perceivable time and events.

“Time, as we know it, is about to take on a different dimension which many of you shall experience soon.
Truth is where you will all be.”

New year message from the One: January 1, 2007

We are now in the Void: In the One Light. Many elements of Truth are about to reveal themselves.
There will be more and more impacting events and not only in the political or financial arena. Soon the Feminine aspect of the One extant within Nature will show its rumbling disapproval at the disrespect and negligence we have shown to this gigantic ever present Divine Intelligence which we are only part of. Many will try to question and impute this upon natural cycles, for a very short time only, as many realizations will be unleashed against the forces of man’s ego.

“If you pursue Oneness, The One shall be with you. If you reject it, you won’t be able to find Him. This is the way by which He operates and will continue to operate, forever so. . .Great imbalance has been caused to the magnificence of this Creation by the action of man, and as such, The One will need to intervene to interfere with a lack of awareness that many of His co-creative parts are showing in the very extremely restricted awareness of man.

It has become somehow fashionable to consider that much of the imbalance which nature exhibits is but a natural process.  The Godliness wants to state that all of it is being caused by the act of man for The One would never allow His Creative part as the natural world to function with such great imbalance were it not for the interference of man upon God. “  

Message from the Holy One. February 26, 2007. 

We need to focus on the Life force of the One flowing inside all of us, and stop focusing on structures, dead matter, zeros, and polarity schemes and plots.

We must accept to become part of the Great Shift in Creation and flow within it. Resisting it is futile. We need to accept to turn around, go inward and call upon the guidance of the inner Light of the One Heart dwelling within our hearts and not rely anymore upon the false light of our restricted minds and ego-inflated intellect. We need to affect a bridging of all humanity with itself, its environment, and its One Living Creator. My dear friends, remember my words: if you want to know which structure and thought operation will exist in the future, apply this litmus test: If that structure is based upon a primary desire of achieving Oneness and happiness to ALL within an aura of pure transparency/Light then it will shine with Living Light, Intelligence and divine sustenance.

If that structure is remaining static and imprisoned with thoughts of separation, destructive competition, power, elitism, or lies within hidden dark walls of operations, then it will fall of its own weight into the deep dark void, never to bee seen again in the Light of Creation. Please ponder about that.

You will all be taken care of and sustained during this period in the perceived desert of the old structures as long as you welcome and trust that you are now facing and are part of the greatest adventure that mankind has ever undertaken which is the reunification of ALL the human family with itself and its Holy Source and Creator.

Instead of wanting to attract the focus of others upon your self and the blessing of god(s) beseeched to every body, it is time to have your main focus upon all the others and then The One will really dwell in your inner dwelling. You will feel, without the shadow of a doubt, Its Holy Presence and rock-like Light energy, and be under Its protective wings carrying you forever as a Father or Mother would their own child. You will know It and you will witness it continuously.

This is not a religious message; quite to the contrary. Sadly enough, most religions, as they degenerated within the ego-filled prisons of man, have done more than enough damage to the hearts of mankind and help separate us, as many have espoused tribal systems of separation. It is a sad fact that more crimes and inequities have hidden behind their walls than Light and unifying acceptance of Oneness. Such separation cannot continue and will not.

How you call upon the Unity point should be very private to yourself and should be expressed within what makes you comfortable. There are many languages in the tower of Babel, but they all are but interpretations of common meanings and concepts. The language of the Heart is universal, and needs no words. We need to see it as such and learn to understand and respect the beautiful magnificence of diversity. That is probably the most profound act of Oneness.

How you endeavor to operate in the upcoming period is your choice. It will be a guided choice from the inside out as long as you make it your mission to help all of humanity rejoin its unity and its original fold. Do not focus on zeros and the quantities thereof anymore, but only on the One, and the necessary energy and sustenance will come your way and be gifted by others under the protection of the One.

An upward movement will not be called anymore a golden bullish direction, but a direction of One and Oneness.

And a downward movement will be but a direction of zeros, ruled by the “nothing:” the zero, the point separating polarity.

You can choose the Everything or chose the ‘nothing!” You need to make that choice here and now!

And many of the so-called poor in zeros will stop focusing on that fact and soon learn that they are infinitely rich in The Oneness: the Everything, the Eternal Life, while many of the rich and powerful still focusing on the zeros will be shown that they are but infinitely poor in Everything.

Let me reprint a part of the New Year 2006 message originating from the Holy One: Kindly heed the guidance.

“This is the end to the era of competition. From now on, Creation will operate based on cooperation.

If groupings still insist that competition is the only way by which excellence is achieved in mankind or in Higher Beings, He will oppose this negation of Oneness to a great extent, up to a point where they, on their own, will realize the folly of what they have done, and will go back to the notion of Oneness and to the perception of One watching over His Oneness.

The One has no need for worshiping.  He knows Himself for what He is.

Nevertheless the One has great need for Love being addressed at Himself and especially being addressed at one’s self and at all the elements that create the Oneness of Creation.

The One does not listen or pay attention to praises which do not take into account the Love that He feels for all parts of what He has Created, and for the desire that He has that this Love, unconditionally gifted and given, should spread amongst all the entities, who very often tend to focus more on separateness than on the unity of all-without-exception.

What has happened has been a difficult process of reunification within the energies that allow for Creation to exist.

The One now is as adamant and as tenacious as any, in insisting that in a rapid time frame of what we perceive as time, a similar unification of perception around the notion of the One Mind, The One Energy, should be instituted within the hearts, souls, and eventually the minds of all human beings.

The One connects to the hearts of all entities. He knows them through their heart, not their mind.

And it is through opening their heart to the Spirit inside that they all carry - The Spirit of Life: the Spirit of One - and opening their heart to the same One living everywhere around them in the hearts of others, that the One finds great rejoicing in His Creations.

Major corrective decisions have and are to be taken in the coming months and years.

The One is going to be active this time in Creation from within, and not without.

He is going to connect to all the parts that form manifest Creation from within their hearts.

He is going to heal their heart, their soul, and influence their minds.

Nevertheless, man will always be given a certain amount of free-will, and within that parameter of free-will man can achieve greatness, or man can cause great imbalance.

The One is monitoring every single entity in Creation from within. He knows every single thought they have. He knows truth. He is Truth.

From now on, Truth will be the only rule by which He will allow Himself to operate, for untruths, lies, and deceptions will be exposed by the will of One, at all levels of their operations.

Nothing, absolutely nothing can hide from the will of One.

All shall be revealed. All shall be known.

What is known inside by One, shall be exposed on the outside by One, and nothing will stop this.

Truth shall lead the world, and Love will connect all.

Nothing else is really important.

If man is willing to expose the truth of what he really is, which is One, and live in the Oneness of all, and love that notion and that reality - seeing it reflected everywhere in the magnificence that Creation shines upon him, man shall bask in the peace and unity of One forever and ever so.

This is all.

The One.   New Year 2006 Message

I wish you a very Holy holiday season of reunification and Oneness with you family, friends, and the Light of One, and a wonder-filled 2009.

People who are experiencing depression and social anxiety together underestimate what they are capable of doing and they are also not sure who to ask for help to get them out of these kinds of feelings. Sometimes, people get so confused due to depression and social anxiety that they start hurting themselves whether or not they are in the right state of mind.

People who listen to others complaining about having depression and social anxiety together, take it as that they are just doing this to try and attract some attention towards them. But most of the lot who complain are actually telling the truth and are kind of asking your help to get them out of this situation. In fact, it is very simple to get some help for their problems. Most of the times, all they have to do are visit a doctor, not just a “shrink” or some therapist. The best way to deal with this kind of depression and social anxiety is by going and meeting a medical professional. Once you get to meet a medical professional, it’s just a matter of few weeks before you are completely cured of depression or social anxiety, but at times it may extend to a few years too!

Many people try to cure themselves of the depression and social anxiety on their own and avoid meeting a professional. Hence they start trying all kind of different types of remedies or therapies that they think might just work to help them with the depression and social anxiety problem; again on their own not going through any kind of insurance company or any medical professional. A talking session or therapy session is best way to start the curing process. Many people who have tried these find these talk sessions or therapy sessions quite beneficial most importantly when they had or have depression or social anxiety. But most of the people assume to try some method of medication (an herbal or all-natural way) right away. Moreover there are lots of types of supplements for curing people of depression or social anxiety in the all-natural way or herbal way. In fact, many stores in and around the country have the all-naturals medication for sale; like Walgreen’s, Wal-Mart or Shopko.

Relaxation training or meditation is yet another way people try to free themselves of depression or social anxiety. In relaxation class or meditation classes, they teach you how to tackle all kinds of stressful situations. Moreover, you are taught the way to determine whether the situation is made up in the mind or whether it is true and then they are taught how to conquer it.

Whatever method you use to tackle depression and social anxiety, in the end you always manage to make yourself feel better, but the fastest method to cure yourself of depression and social anxiety is by meeting a professional! Any step small or big still helps you in the near and far future.

HOW TO MANAGE ANXIETY, CONTROL FEAR, OVERCOME FRIGHT, PANIC, WORRY

(Based on author’s site www.geocities.com/frnxty)

Fear, anxiety are controllable. Panic, worry, fright can be rid of. Knowing what are, how work, fear, anxiety, helps solve problems, control fear and anxiety.

Anxiety and fear causes crisis. One must understand fear and anxiety, how fear and anxiety work, to control anxiety, manage fear. Can be overcome anxiety and fear.

Managing fear, overcoming anxiety can be without expensive books, courses. Overcoming children’s fears, anxieties, controlling, managing adult fear and anxiety is possible. Here is, whether in child or adult, how to control, manage, overcome fear and anxiety.

Fear and anxiety, being afraid and anxious, begin when we are, or feel, vulnerable. We experience uneasiness and concern which frightens, makes fearful. This causes timidity, and timidity gives rise to a state of alarm which sometimes involves such hesitation that shrinks us from dealing with a matter or situation that needs to be resolved. The pain and emotion, the tension and stress of fear and anxiety is accompanied by a feeling of helplessness which is negative thought which so affects the functioning of the nervous system in dealing with fear and anxiety.

Fright, fear, anxiety, can cause crises, neurosis; the dread, terror, horror of phobia is fear. Worrying, most worries, are fear; but, often, we can’t cope with worry. Positive thinking helps but is not coping with fear, controlling fear, dealing with worry; to control fear, anxiety, we must know how fear and anxiety work.

Fear and anxiety effect automatically. Our autonomic nervous system regulates how body organs work. Chiefly a part of the autonomic nervous system, called ’sympathetic’, automatically interacts with our mind when we worry, experience anxiety, fear.

When fear is felt the mind signals a threat, danger, or emergency physically (e.g. a hand raised in anger) or psychologically (e.g. distrust); the sympathetic nervous system immediately comes into action to help protect or defend ourselves to our best possible advantage. Suddenly automatically we breath more oxygen which, with cyclic biochemical reactions, energises our ‘electron transport chain’ and synthesises with other substances in our body, upon that fear signal. This synthesising upon that fear signal urgently turns on electrical impulses which fire from cell to cell at very high speeds communicating that fear to the control centre in the brain.

In our fear and anxiety, the brain instantly issues commands to the organs to take action. Our organs immediately divert and concentrate energies from other organs to those relevant to our fear and anxiety. The pupils of our eyes grow bigger to see better, the blood vessels expand to more and faster supply, to enable our muscles to react. In aid of that the body produces adrenaline to enhance alertness and our actions for ‘flight’ or ‘fight’, as our values dictate, and as we feel directed by our fear, anxiety.

Anxiety and fear are not cured by medication. Drugs only help coping with worry; only help cope with fear or anxiety. It is generally agreed by expert that if we know how to, we can better control fear, manage anxiety. Panic confuses and causes worry; but, except for phobias (when one must consult a doctor), it isn’t complicated to manage fear, control anxiety.

Adult fear and anxiety is mostly due to problems; e.g., worry over debt, disapproval, separation, failure.

Children have no adult problems; child fear or anxiety is feeling inadequate about the frightening unknown.

Adults cope with both, whether it is fear or anxiety arising from adult problems or child fear and anxiety over inability to protect or defend as adults can.

In child fear control, managing child fear and anxiety it often suffices to ensure an “I am protected” feeling for the child. A child’s fear, e.g., of the dark is over anxiety that something may go wrong or be hurtful; e.g. a dim light helps ease that fear, anxiety, but the child needs assurance that you are nearby and can protect from or defend against what is causing the child’s fear and anxiety. If fear of the unknown is, e.g., anxiety over a new environment, accompany the child until it is realised that there is nothing to fear.

In adults fear and anxiety does not go away because of their being fear and anxiety with good reason. Adult fear and anxiety involve not unreasonable worry but possible significant consequences. But an adult can control worry, even overcome fear, anxiety.

Coping with, overcoming fear and anxiety begins with realising that problems are solvable, consequences avoidable. This enables to cope with fear and anxiety.

Adults suffer fear and anxiety for two reasons. They do not know how to solve the problem; and, it never occurs to most to find out because panic causes confusion. Panic prevents rational thinking, they can not think how to, e.g., reason arguments, acceptably put a hurt right; they, e.g., forget or never find out that an offer to pay by instalments may not be lawfully refused. The problem seems unsolvable, panic becomes fear, anxiety; worry makes fear worse.

Anxiety and fear often result from failure to clearly identify the problem. That is the cause of panic, a problem’s becoming worse, of the fear and anxiety.

Problem solving involves rational though, and that necessitates calmness. If angry, do ‘count to ten’.

Avoiding panic is avoiding fear and anxiety. If feeling panicky, take a deep breath: inhale, hold it to the count of three, exhale slowly; this is regarded as regulating oxygen intake and avoiding the above-mentioned body functions and chemical reactions which substitute to normal body and mind functions the limited, concentrated, emergency, urgent functioning. You will feel less urgency, less rushed, less panicky and less likely to suffer fear and anxiety.

Similarly easy it becomes then to replace the reduced likelihood of fear, anxiety with rational thought. One only needs to know how to do so.

One cannot apply rational thought to a problem if one is confused. The panic was due to not knowing what to do, confusion. One needs to clear one’s head in order to think and substitute to avoided panic, and reduced fear and anxiety, rational thought.

One’s bodily functions and mental functions interact. Adrenaline enhances what the brain signals. If it signals an emergency, it enhances urgency; if it signals calm though, then it enhances that. This is the basis of ‘positive thinking’. Such automatic biological, electrochemical, functioning of the nervous system enhances mental functions, confusion is rid of. Then can be clearly seen the problem and properly explored the ways of solving it without panic worsening it, causing fear and anxiety.

Then you can identify your fear. What is it that you fear, why? What part or parts of the problem is it that is causing you the worry, the anxiety, the fear? Think of what exactly it is you fear, are afraid of. ‘Know your enemy’ to easier mange anxiety, overcome fear.

One can learn to control one’s fear and, in the verses of Orhan Seyfi Ari in his Mystic Man (translated), one can enjoy the feeling that…

“Neither anxiety has he, nor fear,

The World’s like a rubber ball under his feet rather,

The Sun in one hand, and the Moon in the other.”

Calmness helps solution, managing fear and anxiety.
