Chapter 15 The Six Ghosts of Fear by Katherine Clement

This is a direct quote form a "lesson" posted by my good friend Katherine Clement in our 30 Day Mental Cleanse forum :

Chapter 15  The Six Ghosts of Fear by Katherine Clement

"Even a dog or a horse knows when its master lacks courage; moreover, a dog or a horse will pick up the vibrations of fear thrown off by its master, and behave accordingly."

When I read that paragraph and thought back on the calls this week, it reminded me of a poem I wrote back in 2005.

Thought I would share...

The Perfect Mirror

She was the color of a copper penny, shiny and new...Her brown eyes so deep, you could lose yourself in them. She came to me out of nowhere to heal me in ways I am only now beginning to understand 10 years later. Oddly enough, all this time I thought I had been the one to heal her. She came to me traumatized. Afraid of cars, roads, bridges, water, wind...You name it, She ran from it.

She spoke to my heart without a single word. I felt her Fear and sympathized. I would be Strong...for her. I would help her conquer her fears. I would save her...from herself.

I worked with her every day, with Patience...with Love. We confronted each fear, one at a time...together. When she would start to quiver and tense, her eyes wild, nostrils flaring, I would speak softly to her...assure her that I would allow no harm to come to her. We would face it together...she was no longer alone.

I was so Proud of her and so Honored that she had chosen me to Trust. She held her ground and pushed past her fear...and overcame it. Each one was just as frightening at first, but as she gained confidence and her trust in me grew, each obstacle faded a little quicker. By the time we parted ways, she could face anything with total Confidence...steady as a rock. It broke my heart to let her go, yet I felt great satisfaction knowing that I had helped her grow and overcome the things that haunted her.

What a Blind, Egotistical Fool I've been...

It has taken me ten years to realize the Gift she gave me. To understand that it was not "I", who helped her, but She, who was the Perfect Mirror. I gaze into that mirror now and see how I lived in fear. Running from everything and trusting no one. Then with Love and Patience, she spoke softly to my Soul and helped me realize that I had the Courage within to overcome. To face my fears, to Honor myself and stand proud and tall...and Free.

Thank you Ariel....my Glorious Chestnut Angel.       KC 3/2005

We were reminded this week to approach our fears and build our confidence, one step at a time. Ariel and I started out really small...just sitting together. Then I would talk to her...pet her....groom her. With each experience she gained trust and confidence in me, that I would protect her and lead her safely. This cannot help but remind me of Mentoring for Free. Michael takes us and shows us step by step how to build ourselves. Although most of us are timid at first, even fearful... with each call and every interaction, we gain Trust and Confidence that he will Lead us Safely.

People come to MFF traumatized. They have been beaten up by network marketing, often stripped of finances and dignity.

Losing confidence in themselves because they made poor decisions based on poor information. Michael tells us, it's not our fault. He assures us that if we just Trust him and do what he asks, no harm will come to us. Just like an animal "feels" fear...Michael feels ours. He sympathizes and encourages us to overcome the things that haunt us. We grow more confident with each success and soon become Solid as a Rock. We are very Blessed to have such a Leader. One who speaks Softly to our Souls and is Leading us to Freedom.

Thank you Michael, Linda and my MFF family. It is so Wonderful to be here!
