Pathway to Presence

Serenity Beyond Fear

Serenity isn’t the absence of fear—it’s the deep calm that emerges when you meet fear without collapse or control. Cheryl Marlene explores how to cultivate serenity by honoring fear as a threshold of growth, presence, and soul alignment.

In: Pathway to Presence, Field Notes

Fear is often painted as the enemy of peace—but what if fear is actually a doorway? In this reflection, I explore how true serenity isn’t the absence of fear, but the grace that emerges when you meet fear with presence, trust, and the willingness to listen within.

Serenity beyond fear is based on these two ideas:

Create and express through all aspects of the known, unknown, and unknowable.

Chaos and fear are simply the old interpretations of what we do not know.

Inner preparation is necessary as the failing model of patriarchal, authoritarian dominance gives way to a new vision of integration and awareness within the best of who we are and can become.

Scarcity is a myth perpetuated to allow fear to dominate our world and, more importantly, generate fear within ourselves and of one another.

More than anything, pay attention to the whispers of fear within your body, mind, heart and soul.

Give attention to the effort the whispers exert to control you and make you react in fear.

Reaction is the desired response by the dying authoritarian model of old.

Choice made without reaction, outside of the influence of fear, is the response to the emerging motions of our new world.

Go into yourself and, small step by small step, release inner fear.

When you resist the push and pull of fear, you create peace and freedom within.

This serenity within connects with the serenity within all Beings and shifts our world towards the new awareness of the emerging physical-spiritual integration of all humanity.

Remember it’s not important to know exactly how we get to this integration, it’s to FEEL that we are here now, in this moment living outside the illusion and control of fear.

Love and light create and express through all aspects of the Known, Unknown, and Unknowable.

Chaos and fear are simply the old interpretations of what we do not know.

Within ascended living, we do not fear the unknown, we embrace the joy of discovery and the excitement in understanding what was unknown.

Step into the feeling, trust yourself, and transcend the outdated boundaries of fear.

Be! Become!

In peace and light!
