Andwan,

I dont' pretend that evil doesn't exist. I just choose not to focus on it.

Maybe an analogy will help... There is a difference in these two statements:
1. don't forget to buy milk
2. remember to buy milk

The first one, focuses on me forgetting. And I normally will. (Unless I make a list). The second statement stresses remembering. And when I think #2, I remember better.

Does that make sense? So, see if you can spot the difference in these two statements:
1. only love and light may enter here
2. evil and darkness stay out

This is what I'm actually talking about. Just because I choose #1 doesn't mean I don't think evil and darkness doesn't exist. I just choose not focus on them, to not allow them in by omission - evil and darkness is not love and light.

Either way, this is just a way that helps me keep nightmares and fear from entering my thoughts when I start feeling fear. I just wanted to share it with you because it worked for me - hoping that it will help you too.

If you feel that it will not help you, don't follow it. You always have the choice to choose your own methods based on your own experience.

If you want to debate on if this method is the right method, I'm afraid I lose - because I can't prove it is right for you. And there is not way for me to prove it is right for me to you.
