The Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear

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.

(Yeah, I know, I’m cross-pollinating science literature religions … we all know I’m Jedi, not Fremen, nor Bene Gesserit … but hey, it’s still a good mantra. I’ve used it since I first read Frank Herbert’s book Dune.) πŸ˜‰

  1. Adrenaline can be adictive, and addiction is slavery. Must be careful using adrenaline. Better to reason, and plan.

  2. I really don’t think I get scared too often … though being scared never prevents me from doing anything, usually it gives me the adrenaline to actually do something. Fear is a different for me … fear usually prevents me from doing something. I’m scared, but not fearful ! πŸ™‚

    Yeah … no kidding … it’s time to rock and roll ! πŸ™‚
