Meditation: The beast is fear

TYPE: Vipassana

PURPOSE: This Audio-visual Meditation Narration reminds us that fear is our friend only when fighting or fleeing is the best option. If you cannot fight or flee, fear will cause changes that do not help.

CONTEXT:

INT. BRIDGE

(The children are doing their chant as Kirk and Spock rush onto the bridge.)

ALL: Hail, hail, fire and snow. Call the angel, we will go. Far away, far to see, friendly Angel come to me.

KIRK: Sulu!

ALL: Fire and snow. Call the angel, we will go. Far away, far to see, friendly Angel come to me.

GORGON: Friends we have reached a moment of crisis. The enemy have discovered our operation, but they are too late. They no longer control the ship. We do. We shall prevail. They will take us any place we desire. Go back to your stations. Maintain your controls. If resistance mounts, call upon their beast. Their beast will serve us well. The fear in each one of them is the beast which will consume him. Remember how it was on Triacus. If they resist, so shall it be on the Enterprise. If you need me, call and I will appear. Our new goal is Marcos Twelve. It is our new beginning. We must not falter.

(The apparition vanishes.)

METHOD: Listen three times:

  1. First time, just listen.
  2. Second time, practice Anapana.
  3. Third time, practice Vipassana.
