Do not avoid desire.
See it for what it is.
There’s nothing to ever fear again
For thoughts created fear.
Threats come not from without.
It is always me I fear.
For mind perceives itself as split.
Viewing blame and vengeance real.
Learning to believe in attack
We crucify ourselves to heal.
Knowing that we hurt ourselves
The fear of God is gone.
Self-redemption then appears
And welcomes us back home.
