"What makes you afraid" the wise man inquired.
"Both my enemies and my future. I fear what they can do to me."
Instructed the mystic, "Go collect some of this fear of your enemies and bring it to me in a box."
'But I cannot do that," protested the trembling man.
"Very well. Go into your future and bring me some of its fear in a box."
"But that is also impossible," the man stated. "Then how can you fear either enemies or the future?' asked the mystic. "You fear things having no existence outside of your own unenlightened mind. Like most people, you project your own mental state and wrongly conclude that the fear exists in external objects. Now you know better. Even this bit of knowledge qualifies you for class-study, which starts this evening."
--Vernon Howard, The Power of Esoterics
