HOW TO LOOK FEAR IN THE EYE?

Fear paralyzes us — breathing becomes harder, sleep becomes restless, and anxiety grips our chest. But realize this: fear isn’t real. As my friend Peter Gašparík once told me, “You were here before fear.”

That’s when I understood — fear is like an uninvited guest who walked into the house. My house is my body; I am not it, I only live in it while I’m here on Earth.

So I started to observe it — to look it straight in the eyes. With closed eyes, we can give shape to anything; we just have to imagine it. What would fear look like — an animal, a person, an object? When I saw it and looked into its eyes, I realized it had no real power.

At that very moment, I noticed a book on the shelf titled “The Universe Has Your Back.” A beautiful synchronicity.

When fear takes over, we disconnect from the heart. The mind takes control — it spins endlessly, and there’s no switch to turn it off. People ruled by fear are the easiest to manipulate; that’s why there’s so much fear everywhere around us.

I looked into its deep black eyes — and it dissolved. The dark cloud separating my heart from my mind disappeared, and the path between them opened.

I returned to my inner strength — the place where I can feel what’s true, where I can sense if I’m living my inner truth.

Without fear, I wouldn’t see things more clearly than before. Fear opened my eyes so I could find the courage to look into its own. Before, there was only fear — and me, eyes closed, too afraid to face it.

Now I see… Thank you, fear. Thank you for letting me. Where fear doesn’t exist, there remains what’s always been — love. That’s who we are in these bodies.

P.S.: I only write what I live. This is my truth, my view, my experience.
