Notes
Through all this time, however, Oona felt a heaviness in her heart. She said, "Mother, I have not dreamed. I cannot dream...." Mother said, "They will come. Then you will know. It is because you are fearful now that the dreams do not come.[1]
St. Teresa of Avila notes that the sometimes intentional and sometimes ignorant imposition of fear, blocks access and prevents people from practicing Connecion Techniques, like prayer."Cease, as I have said, to have fear where no fear is; if any one attempts to frighten you, point out the road40 to him in all humility."[2]
