Fear is not a part of us. That’s why it can go.
It was never a part of you. You simply learned it, and as such, can unlearn it. There are several reasons why we have fear in our lives. The main one being enculturation for purposes of external control by others. To keep us in place, to keep us exploitable. We have fears for not living successful lives, for not living per se, fear of ill-health, fear of the dark, fears of the unknown, fear of the known – of people, places, things, circumstances. Endless. Except for those fears directly related to physical survival such as fear of snakes, hence, stay out of their way, etc. Many fears debilitate us, paralyse us, prevent us from moving forward, from growing. These are the fears we address here. These are the fears we wish we did not have in our lives. And it is possible for us to do something about them because we do NOT want them.
”Be Not Afraid.” said Jesus of the Essenes. Because it’s possible. To Not Fear.
The fears that beset us, that worry us, that constantly hurt. These are the fears that we wish to be rid of. And it’s possible. Even easy. To simply begin to do this. It’s the process, that takes time, even years. Well, because there are so many fears one has learned over the years, it needs time to undo each and every one of them. This is possible. To deal with one at a time. One as each and every opportunity arises. Because once you have dealt with one fear, another comes forward for you to deal with this as well. The best way is forward. You have spent an entire lifetime running away from them. You do not want to do this for the rest of your life. Allowing them to take away the pleasure of simply being you. You can only go through them to win. Forward that is. Into the Fear. Into the middle of the storm, called the eye of the storm, which is the peaceful, calm centre of a storm. Stay at the center until the storm dies down. Until the fear is gone, while you deal with it that is. The trick is to get to the center of your fear, you know exactly what it is, only you knows this. Even someone who cares for you knowing about your fear, may not understand exactly how, by how much it is debilitating to you.
Acknowledge your fear, out loud in your head.
Confront it head on, as in face it, the way you would face your fear if this was a physical thing or a person. This first act of bravery affirms your commitment to deal with it. The journey has begun. See how easy that was. You’ve taken the first step. Acknowledging your fear places you in the centre. You will stay in the middle of your challenge, until all your fear is deconstructed away. Until the storm dies down. You are going to work at your storm from a place of calm, by acknowledging your fear. You will deconstruct the storm, thus your fear out. It is the deconstruction, the challenge to it. That puts it out. Remember, you learned it. You can unlearn it, bit by bit. It is a process in reverse. The undoing of it. Until it’s undone.
That part of you that should replace your fear, already exists. It is a part of your divine self, your Soul that this particular fear was overshadowing. It is like grime on the glass of a lantern. The light cannot shine clearly through with all the grease on it. Tackling a bit of the grimy dirt a little at a time, day by day, allows the light within to shine.
And so on, to the next one.
