Faith and Fear

Faith and fear are two poles on a continuum. At any time you are at some place on that continuum between 100% fear and 100% faith.

When you notice an experience of fear it is good to notice where you are on the continuum. It is good to remember that your location changes a lot on this continuum, and that many factors influenece the shifting location.

It is also good to remember that neither fear nor faith exist "out there". They don't "appear in nature" (like a chair does or death does). Fear and faith are what we create within us in response to some thing or situation out there.
