Hollow valor stays standing for only so long. By visiting this page, you’ve already crossed through the first gate of an education in fear: acknowledgment.

Culturally, we’re barely equipped to honor the inevitable transitions built into the cycle of life: childhood’s end, parenting, aging and death. We fear AI. We fear ecological and social collapse. We fear our deepest desires.  The pace of world events is challenging us to grow even faster, to face our fears more often than ever before.

Fear of losing what is already gone.

Fear of our own vast CONSEQUENCE.

The patriarchal archetype of red-blooded bravery leaves Death as the only option: Kill the enemy or die trying.  Kill what you fear, kill fear. All who feel fear carry weakness and shame.  Repress, transcend and conquer.

SAINT NIGHTMARE SAYS:

DO NOT KILL FEAR

Thank Fear for illuminating our pessimism and GLOOM.

Thank Fear for keeping us alive.

Thank FEAR for showing us what we love most.

Fear is the most ancient teacher and trustworthy friend. Fear stands stubborn guard just outside the enchanted place our wildest dreams have already come true.

Feeling the fear is how you get in.

Enduring fear is one of the most deeply physically and psychically uncomfortable states our human bodies are asked to entertain.

Fear, when received whole-heartedly, creates powerful and aligned action.  Fear left untethered and unloved, takes us nowhere, backwards.

Feeling fear is how you leave outdated, stagnant, boring, under-stimulating, soul-sucking jobs and relationships.

Feeling fear is necessary to survive the trial of being alive in this era of endings and unsung seeds.

Feeling fear brings the relief of ecstasy.

feeling fear midwives creations and dreams.

feeling fear makes you a force of nature.

I stand in offering to walk by your side as you encounter and befriend your Great Fears.  To share my knowledge on how to live, breathe and see in the Dark.  To distinguish the first signs of dawn.

FACING DEATH SO WE MAY FINALLY LIVE,

Saint Nightmare takes you places you wouldn’t dare go alone.
