Anxious Faith
You never solve a problem with the awareness that it is a problem. As a matter of fact, it’s often that awareness that helps create that problem in the first place.

Heresy of Acting
Alan watts said society tells us what we ‘must’ be, and we ‘must’ be it voluntarily. That compulsory volunteer. They define tyranny as anything not forbidden being mandatory.

Research show that being over focused on any activity actually inhibits performance, even in very natural things like eating or sex. Male impotence is most often caused by performance anxiety. It causes the heart to race and nervous defence behaviour to kick in. None of which have anything to do with the act.
This is what people are doing when they worry chronically. There have been studies of the problem solving abilities of worriers versus non worriers. They were selected to have comparable IQs all roughly on the same level. The worriers were notably less capable.
Truth is a fun exercise, and you know the degree to which you are seeing truth. Life is self fulfilling as they say. Truth sets you free. To the degree that you feel you cannot live, you have deviated from truth.
“Worry is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind. If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained.” Arthur Somers Roche
