Seeing Through a Glass Darkly - Knowing Whispers

Many years ago I awoke from sleep in great fear. I had dreamed something that terrified me, but the fear woke me with no memory of what I had seen. I went back to sleep and it happened again. After 3, maybe 4 times of this happening I finally awoke remembering that I had seen a horribly ugly, evil appearing face just 2 or 3 inches from mine. That last time, I knew the message for me was the only thing I have to fear, or that can hurt me is my self. (Lower case s.) After about 40 years I still know that is true. But, I also have learned and am still learning how, is the only one I can trust is my Self. (Upper case S.)
