Moving Beyond Mindset With Ancient Universal Principles
Fear is one of the greatest qualities that humans have wrestled to understand and overcome. In ancient and modern times, it has been said that anything is possible without fear.
Fear is both natural and artificial. Fear can be friend and foe.
Fear illustrates the duality of life, the yin and yang of existence. These foundational principles are the original science of life, developed, applied, and tested over thousands of years. They allow infinite growth, endless expansion, and limitless potential. They exist beyond the mind and create the vastness of time and space. In my 12 Ancient Universal Principles, I have captured the essence of yin and yang to create a master guide, the ultimate roadmap for insight, growth, and self-discovery.
Welcome to my seventh column exploring moving beyond mindset with ancient universal principles. These principles will help you release fear, embrace change, and master uncertainty.
Everything Changes (aka Change is the Constant of The Universe)
Change is inevitable. This Ancient Universal Principle #7 reminds us that whether you like it or not, whether you feel ready for it or not, tomorrow is unpredictable. Nothing ever stays the same. You will never be the same person you are today. You can try to control who you are and the future. You can try to master your mind to create every outcome that your intellect desires. But you will fail unless you align your heart and soul with the flow of universal energy. And worse, you will become chronically stressed, frustrated, and exhausted in your quest.
Like a warrior on horseback who rides with the wind into battle, sitting backward bearing no weapons, you must trust that you are already skilled to win the day. Every day. You are your feeling of security. You have yourself. You came to this planet ready and able to fulfill your destiny. Do not fear that which you are not. Have faith in your inner power.
As Eleanor Roosevelt has stated, “You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face . . . You must do the thing you think you cannot do”.
“My Mission Is Greater Than My Fear” Lidia Kuleshnyk, Lady Apona
You need not use your mind to win every battle. While mindset is beneficial to create strategic plans, your inner knowing and instinct will create the most effective pathway to your highest levels of success and fulfillment – a life of inner security, free of the burden of attachment to the distractions of the mind.
“Everything That Happens To You Is What You Lack. All That Is Antagonistic, Unbearable, Is Complementary.”
This Ancient Universal Principle #4 can be a tough taskmaster. The Universe is working for you, even though it may feel otherwise. You experience hardships, just like everyone else. Yet your journey is unique. When you are going through a challenging time, connecting with the higher purpose of it all may be difficult. Ultimately, every experience is your teacher. As a high performer, you have the natural ability to turn challenges into opportunities and to learn and grow from the most difficult circumstances. Not doing so can create an imprint of doubt and lack of confidence that leads to instability, insecurity, and fear, all of which are major barriers to achieving your goals.
Fear can be a natural quality that helps you create positive responses to your world. This fear is a deep connection to your power, part of your inner navigation system that brings greater awareness, clarity, and actions to support you. This type of fear drives me forward to find solutions to unexpected circumstances and crises. I can feel the consequences of what may happen if I don’t act. I become highly motivated to meet the challenge and avoid the danger of what may lie ahead. I move forward regardless of the circumstances.
On a broader, less immediate scale, I call this fear “a healthy concern.” It is a message from my soul. When I am concerned about well-being and the future, I feel a deep calling to act. Healthy concern is a driving force in my mission to help humans reclaim their sovereignty.
Fear can also be an artificial quality that creates hardships in your life. This fear is a detrimental construct of the mind, a disconnect from your power, a burden that clouds your thinking, pulls you off center, and drains your energy. This fear can create stress, anxiety, overwhelm, and even paralysis. When experiences result in a loss of confidence, you can feel insecure and uncertain about the future. We are at a time of growth on the planet when many humans commit to selfdiscovery, releasing past imprints and patterns. The inner yearning to create a better life with higher consciousness is a pathway for healing, evolution, and the release of fear.
Eighteen thousand years ago, ancient cultures predicted it would take courage to live on the planet at this time. You are here. Therefore, you have courage. Embrace it. Feel it. You can do whatever it is that you are called to do. When you feel fear and take action, you are living with courage. You can also act with courage while releasing fear. There are two fundamental pillars to cultivate within yourself: a strong core energy, your life force, and a strong relationship with yourself, “know thyself.” By creating a healthy lifestyle while expanding self-awareness, you create the energy and the inner connection to feel strong, stable, and secure. Then, you can rely on yourself. You can live with courage.
When I need inner guidance to take brave and powerful actions, I first go to my 12 Ancient Universal Principles. I ask myself what insights they are igniting, what new perspective they are revealing, and what vision they are clarifying.

With this strong foundation of inner knowing and trust, I move forward with two questions: • Am I prepared? • Am I secure in my knowing that I am doing the right thing?
If I answer “Yes” to both of these questions, then I have the courage to act. I am fearless. I am ready to go, in flow, with no doubt or inner resistance. I take on the challenge before me without drain, distraction, or regret. I move beyond confidence int o my higher state of being, able to achieve my goals, fulfill my soul duty, and accomplish more with less time, energy, and resources. I live my destiny and create a legacy for future generations. “What you leave behind is not what you engrave in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others” Pericles
Life is uncertain. Trust in yourself. When you understand fear and turn it into a friend rather than a foe, you can access your deepest power and live with security and freedom. You hone your selfmastery as you become the conscious leader of your life and the world.
When you apply my mantra, “My Mission Is Greater
Than My Fear,” anything is possible. Embrace the 12 Ancient Universal Principles. Live your passion and create the impact, the legacy, of your life.
