The imagination, void of love,--the feeling of harmony with all,--
forgets reason and permits fear to enter the soul.
Fear is an ALIEN to our life, and never a friend. The real friend
is reason, acting amid harmonic conditions.
When you are threatened by some hostile force or event, reason
tries to induce self-protection, but you know no real fear if you
are saturated with the feeling of harmony. You may believe it is
FEAR that seeks your self-protection. But your REASON can do
precisely the same thing without fear. Fear is, then, only an
extra, a distressing extra, foisted in front of reason.
You are invited now to live the WHITE LIFE, to cast fear out, and
to make real reason its substitute. By so much you will add
immeasurably to personal comfort and power.
Love and reason alone can take care of man, so far as his own
efforts are concerned. In properly blended proportions these
constitute the very life of courage. What conceivable service
then, can fear render any man or woman?
If you desire panic and distress, let imagination fill your soul
with fears.
