We live in a time of plague and poneros (the Greek word for evil, used,in the New Testament to refer to the satanic powers). The collective consciousness is misidentified with the mortal body and is thus pervaded with fear of pain and death. The body ego has many other fears as well, including the terror of abandonment, ridicule, shame, loss of love, loss of position, security, and safety; and even loss of sanity. Today there is also widespread fear of sickness, hunger and thirst, of tyranny, lockdown, and torture.

The weakened ego is also more susceptible to being unable to copewith even the ordinary challenges of life, the symptoms of physical dysfunction, and the interruptions of electricity, the internet, and cell phone connections to which one has become addicted. The fragility of the ego creates the constant threat of psychological breakdown. So, there is always an underlying vibration of anxiety, depression, and dread. This may be defended against by manic activity, denial and diversion, or the abuse of alcohol and drugs. But the defenses will all eventually fail. In this situation, there is no alternative to finding the source of real power within. This retreat is dedicated to enabling you to connect to the Supreme Power, and thus to overcome all fear forever.
