“Dimanchophobia:
Fear of Sundays, not in a religious sense but rather, a condition that reflects fear of unstructured time. Also known as acalendrical anxiety. Not to be confused with didominicaphobia, or kyriakephobia, fear of the Lord's Day.

Dimanchophobia is a mental condition created by modernism and industrialism. Dimanchophobes particularly dislike the period between Christmas and New Year's, when days of the week lose their significance and time blurs into a perpetual Sunday. Another way of expressing dimanchophobia might be "life in a world without calendars." A popular expression of this condition can be found in the pop song "Every Day is Like Sunday," by Morrissey, in which he describes walking on a beach after a nuclear way, when every day of the week now feels like Sunday.”

“You have to allow the fear to be a messenger;
to give you information that it's attempting to tell you: that you have a negative belief.

You can't be afraid of the fear.
You have to recognize it.
Allow it to do its job.
And therefore once it delivers the information,
what it's bringing your attention to [is]:
"Hey! hey! knock knock knock! You have this negative belief that is out of alignment that you don't prefer!"

Once it brings your attention to that,
you can say: "Thank you fear. Thank you for bringing my attention to something I didn't know about within myself, so that now I can deal with it, now that I can let it go. Thank you fear."

And as soon as you use fear that way and allow it to be what it is; allow it to do the job it was designed to do, it will not be felt as fear anymore.

You will welcome it as a messenger that will alert you to anything within you that's out of alignment.

And you will be excited about feeling it.
And then it will turn into excitement.

That's how you "Allow" with fear.”
― Bashar

“The Night Watchman by Stewart Stafford

Does the night watchman watch the night or does the night watch him?
Is there anything in the darkness or is his eyesight growing dim?
Does a beast growl in the shadows or is his stomach requesting food?
Is his pay adequate compensation or is his boss just being rude?
As he prays for the sunrise, does anyone hear his prayers?
When he clocks out for breakfast, is anyone standing there?
Does he creep home to his bed to count the hours down?
Until he sits staring at the darkness once more with a quizzical and resigned frown?

“Why do we humans have phobias? If we grew up and evolved with nature for so long, why do so many people have such a great fear of it? For example, evolution indicates we came out of the oceans, yet a great many people have an intense fear of swimming in the ocean, or even a tranquil backyard swimming pool For hundreds of thousands of years as we evolved we lied our nights in darkness, yet the fear of darkness is ubiquitous among humans. Insects and spiders, which generally can do us no harm whatsoever, and can easily be killed by us with only the slightest effort, cause many people to go into paroxysms of fear.”
― Laurence Galian, 666: Connection with Crowley
