feeling, fear & present

I was writing a response to someone about their experience with the movie Zeitgeist. This person shared the feeling of being on black ice and 'spinning out of control', mistrust & worst fears.

As is the way with feelings, they're valid and real for people. When one comes to understand certain realities about the world we live in it can be distressing, since the comfort of the illusion , story or myth that was creating the old reality is displaced. Now that I read what I just wrote it leaps of the page at me: how people will do the most extraordinary things to hang on to the comfort created by said illusion, story & myth.

It is possible to live powerfully in life through a profound relationship with "what's so". I'm still creating that for myself. The power of being present to the reality of our world erases my fear of it. The discovery of ancient mythology used as a foundation for modern myth to take root opens me up to seeing world events in a new way.
