  1. Easier said than done, but could you enjoy the fear? Become conscious that you’re creating the emotion —emotions are created by us, they don’t “fall” on us by circumstances. Notice that it serves a purpose. Contemplate fear instead of avoiding it. What is it? It’s an experience, like being bored. Or when you feel boredom. Separating the emotion from yourself in this way helps us realize that it’s not us. It’s external to you, like having blue hair — as much as you dislike it, it’s not really you. Fear components: Relative to the future: can’t experience it if you live in the present (not creating a possibility of a future) Holding a concept of an experience you’re unwilling to go through (stop creating the concept or be willing to experience it) The experience you’re unwilling to go through happening in the future So practice, do it anyways, and contemplate it.
  2. I like Wordpress with the genesis framework + theme. It’s expensive but simple, fast, secure, and beautiful if you like studiopress’ templates — but take that as the opinion of a layman. Other than that, I’ve fallen into the trap of choosing the best possible tools, software or themes. Sometimes it’s better to start with whatever you’ve got, knowing that you can change it in the future.
  3. Healing with Whole Foods might help. It's a bible.
  4. What you’re looking for is the book list. There's an Epistemology section with gems in there. Totally worth it.
  5. The transcending self course is profound and challenging. Peter’s approach is facilitating your contemplations. Understanding the material intellectually is secondary. The goal is to deeply and experientially grasp the communication. You’ll be asked to investigate many aspects of your experience so that you generate insights and breakthroughs for yourself. The work is real and grounded.
