As you realize you can experience the mind free of all the emotional drama and stories, then you awaken to discover the path to be free from all the fear.  The unchanging state of soulful being is with you always.  It is by growing aware of this, that you remember to feel how joy happens inside. Regardless of what the mind perceives to be happening outside, you know the natural simplicity of inner peace.  Reflect on what is truly important.  Sometimes, only being silent allows you to discern and recall ever-present inner wisdom.  Feel it now.  Remember that a true teacher cannot teach you anything .. .all s/he can do is remind you of what, on some level, you already know.
