Hello Oguz,
Probably the most debilitating emotion that humans must
confront is that of fear. Fear confuses. Fear paralyzes.
Fear prevents you from thinking clearly, accessing your
spiritual gifts and being who you truly are.
Fear is the anticipation of future pain. It's been said that
90% of humans are motivated to avoid pain, while only 10%
seek pleasure. It's no surprise that we suffer from fear.
We've been trained to fear from an early age. Don't play in
traffic - fear of getting run over. Don't talk to strangers -
fear of being abducted. Don't misbehave or Mommy won't
love you - fear of abandonment.
As we grow older, we learn new fears: Fear of not being
loved. Fear of being rejected. Fear of not having enough.
Fear of being unworthy or inadequate. Fear of making a
mistake. Fear of commitment. Fear of getting fired. Fear of
being annihilated by nuclear-armed terrorists.
Every day, we are bombarded with new fear-based messages by
advertisers, politicians and the media. It's easy to
understand why:
Fearful people are easy to control.
Fear is one of humanity's most primitive emotions,
triggering the adrenaline rush associated with the fight or
flight response to danger. In life-threatening situations,
this is helpful, better preparing you to do battle or to
escape. But in non-lethal situations, fear clouds judgment
and encourages you to REACT - rather than carefully consider
alternatives - thus ensuring a less than optimal response to
your problem.
Even worse, attachment to fear inhibits your ability to tap
into your innermost self. Connecting with your inner master
requires you to be balanced and your brain hemispheres be in
synch. Fear causes your brain to automatically return to its
dominant side - logical or emotional - again, ensuring
unbalanced input into solving your problem.
Fear is a low vibration, dense emotion. Clinging to this
negative, energy-draining emotion guarantees you will be
unable to transcend to higher states of consciousness,
characterized by higher vibration emotions such as love,
joy, peace and happiness. You can't take your baggage to the
higher worlds, so eliminating fear is critical.
All people, even warriors, have some degree of fear. What
separates warriors from timid souls is not their inability
to recognize danger. What makes some people warriors is
their willingness to act in the face of fear. By repeated
experience, warriors come to know that fear dissolves with
conscious action.
Action has another benefit. It focuses you in the Now. By
definition, fear is the anticipation of future pain, that
is, FUTURE - not in the Now. Acting keeps you focused in the
Now, which is how you reach higher states of consciousness -
where time is malleable and fear does not exist.
As a 17-year old youth driving our family car with my new
driver's license, I remember being threatened by a crazed
driver on a deserted highway. It happened so quickly, I had
no time to become fearful. Everything began moving in slow
motion, giving me time to observe the situation. I had a
bigger car, more horsepower and, if need be, I could run him
off the road. I accelerated and left him behind. Only years
later did I realize that by acting in the Now, time had
stretched to assist me.
Look at your life and observe where you are stuck. Likely
the cause is fear, in some form or another.
Ask yourself: What is the worst thing that can happen to you
if you act and confront your fears? Will you look foolish?
Will your self image suffer? Will you be rejected?
Recognize that all of these fears are ego-based. Your true
self is not affected by any of these consequences.
In addition to dissolving fear and placing you in the Now,
consciously choosing a course of action will take the focus
off of you and your ego, and places it on the task at hand.
So what to do?
Begin simply by taking small steps. If you have a social
anxiety disorder, you don't start to conquer your fear by
signing up to address the UN. You begin by attending a
meeting of people that share your interests. You don't even
have to speak; just be there. If you immerse yourself in a
subject that you love, you will lose yourself, you will have
fun, and you will be in the Now, as you act or interact with
others.
Remember, also, that failing to act will compound your
problem. To protect your ego, you may come up with
justifications for why you didn't do anything. You may
convince yourself it was prudent, smart, unimportant,
wouldn't matter, etc. Soon, you have convinced yourself that
you did the "right" thing. This makes it harder to act in
the future. Recognize that it is your ego that is busy
justifying your inaction, not your true self. It is a self-
reinforcing, bad habit you are developing.
You can nip this habit in the bud by bringing conscious
awareness to your problem and then acting.
People that act in accord with their true self are not
constrained by fear. They are not driven by their egos, and
consequently are free to do what they like. These people are
charismatic. They act from their innermost self. They are
unconcerned with how others perceive them. They are not
controlled by others. They are their own person, free to
love and be loved.
The choice is yours. Love or Fear. Clarity or Confusion.
Higher consciousness or stagnation.
Eliminate fear by taking conscious action and being your
true self.
Best wishes,
Ed
