Thus man is led to a knowledge of greater opportunities in a future life. With these teachings there is never discouragement, there is never a shadow or a lack of faith. There is that eternal, burning fire in the divine nature that lifts us up to the heights of hope and trust. Then these objective things, these everyday trials, these disappointments, the loss of money, personal sorrows, and heartaches, all seem so little when we realize that there are other opportunities, other chances for all, and that the mercy of the divine law is not for today, not for one life only, but it is for all eternity. And not until men can love one another, as Jesus was in himself an example of a man truly capable of loving, can they begin to know what human life means.
Fear is the result of a limited view of life, that is all.
The only thing in life to be afraid of is doing wrong. No other fears should have place in the life of man. For his inner nature, his higher nature, should show him that if he has sorrow, somewhere along the path there has been a cause for it. If somebody has treated him unjustly, he can explain it. If he is persecuted he can keep on with his work and face his enemies and conquer in the end, because he has the consciousness of not being as he has been represented to be.
