"Once you realize that all comes from within, that the world in which you live has not been projected onto you but by you, your fear comes to and end. Without this realization, you identify yourself with the externals, like body, mind, society, nation, humanity, even God or the Absolute.  But these are all escapes from fear. It is only when you fully accept your responsibility for the little world in which you live and watch the process of creation, preservation, and destruction, that you may be free of your imaginary bondage."
