Continued:

Anxiety is about being afraid of what already happened. Again, anxiety keeps the past in the present, and the present in the past. The two (past and present) are one. So, no wonder we are afraid of what already happened… as if it didn’t happen. For example, I am afraid of being shamed as if it didn’t already happen, but is about to happen.

Fears of childhood, over a long period of time, transform into Anxiety. Anxiety solidifies past, present and future into one, and it seeks new topics to inhabit (example: fear of feeling pain in my knees, later in life), but it’s the same Anxiety inhabiting different focus points at different times, or more accurately: anxiety inhabits different focus points in the continuum of one time.

I need to place the intense, original fears of my childhood in a designated area: the past.

To be continued.
