Many there are who wish the word "fear" to be removed from our vocabulary have not yet encounter the Dweller and other situations and vibrations that can induce fear that the novice has never before dreamed of. Until one has encountered all the pitfalls on the path to liberation and has slain the dragons of fear along the way he has no authority to preach to others about its final conquest. So far I have not met anyone who has preached to me about the conquest of fear who is even aware of what he has yet to face.

I don't think anybody on this List has expressed the views (at least in the past few weeks) to which you are responding here.
I think your points are well taken, but I don't believe any of us has tried to "preach" to you or anybody else how to handle this evil encounter. We have each presented our views, suggestions, and interpretations, as we have been invited to.
JJ:
I was thinking back to the many people I have met in my life who have preached to me about overcoming fear, who have no idea of some of the things we have yet to face. You were not even in my consciousness when I was writing about the subject.
My teachings are always for general consumption unless otherwise stated. If I have a disagreement with an individual I will generally quote his remarks and comment on them.
Unless I do this you can usually assume I am not talking about your belief system. If in doubt, ask.
Hope this clarifies.
