"The best parts of you are hidden where you're most afraid to look."
“Big congrats to BOOK OF THE WEEK author, Michael Benner! The author shares knowledge and techniques to help readers learn mastery over their fear and anxiety through self-awareness, in this perfect book for the times we live in.”
"Fear is a doorway to understanding yourself better. The secret is to plumb the depth and breadth of your anxiety and confusion in relaxed levels of expanded awareness. Becoming more self-aware of your anxious feelings reveals the personal wisdom hidden within heartache
and upset.
"As we understand our self better, we become less alienated and more content — calmer, happier and more self-confident. Fewer random thoughts demand our attention. This or that occurs as this and that, and behavior becomes less reflexive — more appropriate, even-tempered and well reasoned. Soon, defensiveness yields to acceptance, competition surrenders to cooperation — lines fade, borders dissolve and our perspective expands to include the Wholeness of Life."
"The separate and distinct appearance of material forms is an illusion. Even the densest elements have no edges and are less compact than a snowstorm.
"Matter is condensed energy (E=mc2), so every separate particle is actually an integral part of One Cosmic Energy Field. The Universe is an inconceivably vast ocean of potential energy in various states — gravity, electromagnetism, nuclear, plasma, gas, liquid and solids.
"Nobel Prize-winning physicist Eugene Vigner said, 'It was not possible to formulate the laws of quantum mechanics in a fully consistent way without reference to the consciousness… The content of the consciousness is the ultimate universal reality.' And the brilliant physicist Max Planck admits, 'Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are a part of the mystery that we are trying to solve.' "
"Fearless Intelligence is expanded awareness — the insight and understanding that become apparent in peaceful, loving states of mind. As the intelligence of fearlessness, awareness is serene, innate wisdom. It is goodness, truth and beauty — the magical elixir and essence of Life.
"This Fearless Intelligence book also contains personal skills to develop self-awareness, self-worth and self-realization. Plus, it includes social skills to enhance empathy, compassion, respect and trust of others."
