Can Two Alphas Live Together?

[optimist]

Tal, try this. I may sound kind of weird but it helps me (when I remember it).

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind killer.
Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn my inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
