penguinpolarbear“To gain mastery of your fear you must take it in hand and resist succumbing to its panic. Keep your control over your attention, and in spite of your fears go ahead and take action. You must walk into and through your fear.”

“The only way to ensure success here is to feel the passion of living to its fullest. This leaves no room for fear to take control. Otherwise you subject yourself repeatedly to fear, until either it wins or you desensitized yourself to it. With passion is how one moves swiftly through fear and eagerly reaches out to the unknown. In fact, it is difficult to do other than reach out.”

– Chea Hetaka, The Reluctant Shaman by Kay Whitaker

“Because they will not gain their balance as long as they are gestating fear.” She said the word “gestating” with such an odd emphasis, the impression was one of something slimy and unwholesome growing within its host. “And if they do not learn to balance, they will die. Our species is moving off its center. We are not even interested in equilibriums. Our life energy is seeping away.” …

“Because man’s fear is surpassing man’s experience of his passion for living.”

–Chea Hetaka, The Reluctant Shaman by Kay Whitaker
