Introduction
I must not fear. Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. Paul Atreides. Dune
“I sense much fear in him. To the dark side, fear leads. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.” Yoda, Jedi Master. Star Wars, The Phantom Menace.
“One definition of fear is: Fantasy Experience Appearing Real.” Zig Ziglar
“There is no fear in love, but perfect love throws fear outside, because fear exercises a restraint. Indeed, he that is under fear has not been made perfect in love.” John. Bible.
“It is impossible to hold a negative emotion and a positive emotion at the same time. To eliminate fear from our lives we must eliminate negative emotions and replace them with positive emotions.” Dennis Allyn. Fear is the Mind Killer.
If you understand all you have just read, then you may not need to read this book. But, if any of the above intrigues or confuses you, this book may change your life. In the pages that follow we will explore what fear really is, the types of fear, how it begins in our lives, how to use it to our advantage, and how to eliminate destructive fears. We will explore case studies of homeless people who have let fear take control of them, and contrast this with others who have achieved remarkable things in spite of—and in some cases because of—severe problems or disabilities.
Have you ever wondered why some people with very ordinary skills accomplish extraordinary things and others with above average talents become totally mired down by life’s challenges? Some would like to dismiss it as good luck vs. bad luck. But in the vast majority of cases luck has very little to do with it. In fact, we’ll explore many that have been very lucky and have led miserable lives, and others who have been dealt very bad hands but have achieved a degree of happiness many only dream of. We can all site examples of wealthy, talented, and privileged people who have made a mess of their lives. Marilyn Monroe, Freddy Prinze, John Bulushi, Jim Morrison, and Kurt Cobain come readily to mind. Others such as Christopher Reeves managed to live very positive lives in spite of terrible infirmities.
What is the difference? Perception. Karen Carpenter (of the Carpenters singing duo) died of anorexia. She perceived herself as fat in spite of the fact she was starving herself to death. Clearly her perception was much different from the reality. When she looked in the mirror she saw a fat person, where everyone around her saw a person who desperately needed food. Karen had money, fame, and legions of fans but she wasn’t happy. What fears were her mind killers? Your own mind killers limit you, the reader of this book. They may be small fears or big ones. They may be a wind-drag on an otherwise sleek racecar, or they may be so overwhelming that the brakes of your mind won’t allow you to leave the house. Whatever they are, this book can help you overcome, conquer, and eliminate them from your life forever.
