Personal and private, I wish to share the sources of these fears here, with you, \u00a0in an attempt to grow as a person and to be set free.<\/p>\n<p>Once, when I was ten years old, I saw\u00a0Bigfoot \u00a0on TV and it scared the living hell out of me. I had blocked this\u00a0bowel-trembling experience out of my mind for years, but it all came back\u00a0a few weeks ago when I was watching re-reruns of <em>The Six Million Dollar Man<\/em>. All the fear and terror came back. It was horrible.\u00a0 In the episode I watched, Bigfoot was lurking somewhere in Northern California terrifying people in the woods.\u00a0To make matters worse, the old Sasquatch was working with some space aliens on a plan to blow up the West Coast. It was bad.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, it was back to back episodes. In the second part,\u00a0Steve Austin, the <em>Six Million Dollar Man<\/em> himself, got in a fight with Bigfoot and got the best of the hairy beast. Later, Steve made friends with Bigfoot and the aliens. By the end of this second episode, I myself was at peace with Bigfoot.<\/p>\n<p>I\u00a0am still somewhat suspicious of space aliens, but that&#8217;s from watching <em>Star Trek<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><em>copyright 2014 Magnus Incognito<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many of us have unpleasant memories from our past.\u00a0 Things we don&#8217;t want to remember.
