Within each experience of pain or negativity is the opportunity to challenge 

the perception that lies behind it, the fear that lies behind it, 

and choose to learn with wisdom. 

The fear will not vanish immediately, but it will disintegrate as you work with courage. 

When fear ceases to scare you, it cannot stay. When you choose to learn through wisdom,

 to evolve consciously, your fears surface one at a time in order for you to exorcise them 

with inner faith. This is how it happens. You exorcise your own demons.

 Gary Zukav, The Seat of the Soul
