What You Really Fear Is Inside Yourself

By John Muldoon

One of my favorite scenes from Batman Begins is all about fear.

You’ve traveled the world to understand the criminal mind and conquer your fears. But the criminal is not complicated. And…

What you really fear is inside yourself. You fear your own power. You fear your anger. The drive to do great or terrible things.

Now you must journey inwards. Breathe in your fears. Face them.
To conquer fear, you must become fear. You must bask in the fear of other men. And men fear most what they cannot see.

You have to become a terrible thought. A wraith. You have to become an idea.

Feel terror cloud your senses. Feel its power to distort. To control.

And know that this power can be yours.

Erase your worst fear. Become one with the darkness.

Focus. Concentrate. Master your senses.
