Letting go of fear

[Princess Arabia]

This is a very good post. It will not be too popular and will be met with some slight resistance because the egoic mind structure is rooted in fear. It will try to guard it's identity and feel threatened as it's very fragile and believes all sorts of things that it believes will protect it from the outside world. 

Fear is at the basis of our survival mechanisms and is so deeply embedded in our psyche. As Evelyna tried to point out from her belief system, it's needed for survival and serves it's place in our lives. I believe physical pain does that very well, but not fear. Fear is very crippling. I'm referring to a state of being, not the kind where the fight or flight response gets activated when there's an immediate threat. The body's nervous system, is fully equipped to deal with these kinds of threats. It was designed that way. The problem is, we are living in this state of consciousness for far longer time than the body's nervous system is designed to do and this leads to all sorts of neurological and physical challenges. 

All of the emotions and fears you've outlined is what's driving the egoic mind into it's own demise. You have stated pretty well how to control these and to raise one's frequency to levels where these toxic emotions will not compromise our well-being and put us in states of being more in alignment with love rather than fear. Thank you for this.

P.S. Do you currently have a YT Channel. Would love to take a peek if you do. If not, please continue to make posts similar to this as I think we need more of this type of information in order to raise the consciousness of mankind and will eventually lead to a decline in the rates of the current surge in mental health problems along with depression and anxiety. So many are unaware that most of the challenges we face are rooted in fear and we look at life from fear-based lens because of our conditioned programming and beliefs.

One of the most profound experiences I've had into the insight that everything you experience is a reflection of your state of being was when I was taking huge action to let go of all fears and expand my consciousness and I was no longer able to sleep because of it for some reason. In this sleep deprived state the fps of my consciousness went down to like 15 fps and I was just giving my mind a break by scrolling social media posts on reddit. The posts were nothing at all like what they normally are, fever dream level posts, all of them. Eventually there were some random posts where the titles of the posts were instructing me what I needed to do like 1 hour in advance. One of the posts said when the leafs outside blow into your door, don't open your door. An hour later a gust of wind blows a bunch of leafs into my front door, it was one of the most crazy things I've experienced.

I have recorded one video on YouTube that talks about letting go of fear and some fundamental understandings of consciousness but I haven't posted it because it was off the cuff. I might post some videos if I feel passionate about it. I have a whole lot of things I could talk about.

Exactly. There's a difference between danger and fear as I was trying to point to in my comment.

I did it first..somewhere aloong the way lol... but yes Danger is real, as is Pain and its healthy, but Fear, any sort of fear like suffering is disempowering, not needed at all for a Human, but ppl identify with it, make it their anchor, I personally think this is their ego's talking..."see what I've been thru, see see..."

Thanks! There are definitely many negative beliefs many of us have accumulated that reinforce the idea that you aren't actually able to let go of your fears such as the idea that it's complicated and takes a lot time, etc.

One potential negative belief that reinforces fear is that you need the fear in order to prevent/avoid whatever you are afraid of. The understanding is that fear itself doesn't actually have anything to do with what you are afraid of, they are two distinct experiences. Positive limitations are an aspect of consciousness that you can cultivate which prevents negativity because it limits your consciousness in a positive way. If you cultivate this aspect of your consciousness you won't have to worry about the negative things you are afraid of actually happening.

Yes, it's starting to be like a competition. Who's going through more fear than whom. As if it's normal.

Nice, but I also do think that some negativity is essential for the balance of the polarities and to steer us in other directions that may have otherwise led us to further negativity. Learning how to alchemize the negatives and not just be in negative states is best. Too much positives can also swing the pendulum too far which can make for the negatives to swing too low. In order for the energies to be properly activated to give rise to balance, I think both are needed; the difference in how we see those differences is the key, imo. I don't really consider fear to be in the negative or positive but a type of frequency we embody. The frequency of fear gives rise to negative emotions and too many negative emotions gives rise to dis-ease.

Whenever You Non Dual, Nothing to do, nothing is happening types get stumped by a response You all say the samething "This is just Your Opinion", well so is what You share, its just opinion, so that is what we do here, share opinions! This is not Spirituality, Truth or Reality in any sort of way, but if Your going to participate one needs to know what they are talking about...

Of course. As a self, I am still a human being, but what I am is there is nothing there.

I am not saying that I am fearfulness or overcome from all the fear. I am just saying that only way to be fearful is completely accepting that you have no control whatsoever. Because, what You are is Nothing. 

Funnily, if you recognize that you are as nothing within the body, therefore completely surrendering the body, enlightenment is inevitable.

Do you consider yourself enlightened? Are you enlightened?

Another way you can bring yourself into a state of total surrender is by becoming aware that this moment is inevitable, Sadhguru talks about it.

There is nobody to enlighten. YOU! are enlightenment itself.

Do not let go of fear. Embrace it, like you would a baby. You are a baby, after all. Full of new possibilities.

How would you define Enlightenment? From my perspective Enlightenment is never ending because there are higher levels of consciousness forever.

I was responding to a comment he made about enlightenment. And no, i'm not enlightenment itself. Enlightenment is a made-up word by humans who seek to escape their current situation because they're unhappy with who they are. Not realizing that who they think they are, which is a bunch of thoughts ideas and concepts, made of thought. Thought seeking to enlighten itself. I am Awareness. I am aware of being and that which I'm aware of, I cannot be. So if I ever tell myself that i'm enlightened, that's just a persona I've created for the Avatar which houses the awareness that I am. Who i am truly is void of all titles and identities.

I have come to recognize this myself because if I strip myself of all that I've acquired including the notion of being enlightened, all the knowledge and stories, awareness remains.

Babies do not have fear, that's why they need to be supervised to not put themselves in danger. They have not developed a sense of self yet, so therefore they have nothing to be afraid of.

Saying do not let go of fear, is the fear in you that's talking. It has found a place to live and has made you their home. Fear is crippling.
