Thanks arnway. I only have one cc book--the eagles gift--and only 2 in the library here. However I'll be going to a big bookstore soon and will look for
The Art of Dreaming. I think I know what you mean about not fearing even when you are afraid. A friend once put me to the test. We were in the garage of a
communal house I was living in at the time painting, it was night and he left to go get something. Because the crack head neighbor had been causing trouble I
locked the garage door. After a while someone banged forcefully into the door so much that the door bulged in, yeah I was afraid but determined to fight if
necessary. I picked up a long copper pipe and yelled "Hey!" Feeling more like fight than flight by then. I went to the door and yelled
"who's there" didn't get an answer for a minute then I heard my friend say "it's me". I opened that door and tore verbally into
him. He said when he heard me pick up the pipe and yell he knew I might hurt him. I was so mad but later I was glad for the test cause I knew I was capable of
being in the spirit of protecting myself. That friend was often trying to test people in different ways and people didn't always appreciate it.
Looking forward to hearing what you have to say soon
