Many times, I have questioned the feasibility of my endeavor. I wonder: Is the human race ready for a total renunciation of fear? Is it ready for the new consciousness of fearlessness that I talk about? Will I even survive to see the fruits of my efforts?

I’m not the first to ask these questions and perhaps it’s my lot in life—to remain ever-focused on the goal, with little assurance that anything will happen at all.

I can only imagine the countless millennia the human species has been at war with itself. Millions and billions of lives lost in the epic struggle for temporary supremacy. The battlefield of mankind littered with empty corpses, engaged in strife to prove superiority of one idea over another. I too, regrettably, once rationalized forcefully imposing my beliefs on others. In countless lifetimes, I was willing to destroy my enemies, justifying violence to defend one idea against another that posed a threat. I would not be surprised if my debts caught up with me in this lifetime, and in yet a few days, I, the all-beholding sun, shall see no more.

Regardless of what happens, I have committed to the path of non-violence—the path of forgiveness, compassion, and kindness, no matter what. As many before me have done, I have no choice but to show to others this new way of life. I see the enormous potential for a way out of the immense suffering caused by the shackles of fear, the never-ending conflict among human beings on Earth. It likely that I’ll be ignored or, worse yet, vilified and condemned. It is not very encouraging or motivating to carry on at times, knowing full well that I am in hostile territory among those who are truly stuck, who view my message as a threat and cannot see their own diseased way of life for what it really is.

The good news is that I am responsible for my actions alone, the results outside of my hands. Although I perceive great momentum toward this new way of life, it may not be enough. The fear-based consciousness and its demons wield a tremendous and paralyzing power over the masses. Certainly, there is no doubt that messengers like myself will receive hatred and resentment from the innumerable egos of the world. However, there is nothing else for me to do, no other choice left, but to press onwards.
