If you argue against reality you will suffer.

Fear is always the result of an unquestioned past imagined as a future.

If our stressful thoughts aren't true, what does that leave? It leaves, "I am loveable" - the very thing I could never make myself believe, because "I'm unloveable" overrides it when the chips are down.

People don't need sudden revelations. They get what they need when they need it, thought by thought by thought. It's a constant thing when the mind starts to wake up to itself.

You move totally away from reality when you believe that there is a legitimate reason to suffer".

That's where the fear comes from-from your uninvestigated thoughts.
