Run away, run away...

There is a funny scene in MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL, where King Arthur and the knights of the round table are going into the cave to slay the dragon.  Something spooks them and Arthur yells, “run away” and the knights repeat, “run away, run away” all the while running for their lives.   The camera returns to the mouth of the cave and out comes a rabbit.  
The one thing that most current writers on spirituality agree is that fear is the thing that most keeps us from growth and the unconditional expression of love.   And, in fact, fear not hate, is considered the opposite of love.   Fear was designed as a warning system for the human but the truth is, the more you can reduce the fear in your life, the more you will feel the love of God and the more you will be able to express that love.  When we claim our power to make choices about our lives those choices will not be made in fear.  
One of our biggest fears still is that we are afraid of death.  A lot of things can happen to us here on Planet Earth but we do not need to be afraid to die.  We are eternal beings and our core, our soul, our essence lives on.  Death is simply a change of energy. 
Assess how much drama you want in your life.  Assess your fears.   Then just let them go... and keep letting them go.  The fear will go away and you will be left with a peace that passes all understanding.   You will no longer be running away scared of a dragon which is only a rabbit.
