69. THE LION

May 7, 2026

Last night: Sound bath. New York Public Library. Rooftop terrace. Lions.

This morning: Heard “Bon Vivant!” Then, Florence Scovel Shinn by way of Mitch Horowitz.

Returned to The Game of Life and How to Play It and stopped at the following passage.

Jesus Christ said, “Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?” “All things are possible to him that believeth.”

I am asked, so often by my students, “How can I get rid of fear?”

I reply, “By walking up to the thing you are afraid of.”

“The lion takes its fierceness from your fear.”

Walk up to the lion, and he will disappear; run away and he runs after you.

On the same page as “The subconscious is often impressed through music.” A revelation that came last January, when I declared that LAND MUST BE NEAR.
