Fear is the one and only evil

Haven't you seen people who were seemingly what the world calls stupid, and who suddenly developed a certain genius and brilliancy that was remarkable? Those people simply became conscious of themselves. The keynote of their being is touched and they recognise themselves. Again, you see people who as children give promise of such wonderful things and who are quite commonplace as they grow older. They have raised a barrier between themselves and the universal source of all knowledge, it may be by selfishness, or it may be by intellectual pride, or pride of wealth, but the light of true understanding has been obscured for a time.

Thus we see that all men are equal, and each one has just the opportunity he needs for his unfoldment if he will only make use of it. Some people, however, consider their stepping stones as very great misfortunes. They resist instead of overcoming and mastering conditions, and after a lifetime of resistance and misunderstanding wonder why life is a failure.

A mind that is free from fear soon becomes one with the Universal and manifests its all powerful qualities. Fear is the embodiment of every other evil, or so-called evil, under the sun. Fear is the greatest hindrance to spiritual unfoldment that there is; not only that, but it is the barrier between ourselves and success on all planes.

In fact, fear is the one and only evil, the cause of all sickness and all sorrow. Free the mind from fear and the gates of Heaven will open to you. Sum it all up in these words: Fear is the one thing to be afraid of and must be cast out of the mind.
