Fear can only be conquered when you are about to fail, or fail. It is impossible to succeed when you are a success. You can only succeed when you are about to be a failure, or are a failure. When we are afraid, we experience a false sense of helplessness. We are never helpless.
Fear is the decision to relinquish our powers.
The relinquishment is always a conscious act, although so quick we may miss it, consciously, especially if we are used to preferring to be afraid. When we prefer to be afraid, it is always because we wish not to be responsible for our actions. If we are in that mode, its source is always hatred of the world. We love fear in art, on the highway or in the news because it externalizes what is too long internalized. It is a release on a rubber band.
