Where do our Fears come? That is a good question, and one I believe has many asking the same question. Are they beliefs from our ancestors, are they beliefs of what we as children witness, is it because we have lost faith, just where do they come from? I think “where do they come from” is something many have pondered for a long time. I know I have. How about the fear of losing it all. Let’s look at that for a minute, pretend you are sitting in the theater house, the curtain goes up, the stage is full of people, but to your surprise there you are on stage right in the middle of the fear. All these people have come to play this part with you of your fear.
What does losing it all mean you shout from the stage, as you witness yourself standing on stage, you begin to look at this situation from a different perspective, now because you are watching it instead of living it. Again, you on stage look around at the players on stage who gladly have played this part with you of being afraid of losing it all. You ask “ALL” what does that mean? Do you lose your hair, do you lose weight, do you lose your sense of humor, do you lose your bank account, do you lose your mind, do you lose your way. What exactly have you lost when you say I’ve lost it all?
Having faith doesn’t seem to be enough at times in your life does it? I think that is where our fear comes from, and that is that a higher power isn’t listening. Again, let’s go back to the stage watching yourself afraid of what, I think our fears come from being judged by those around us. The fear of looking stupid, not good enough is what gets in our way. Now as we watch our self on stage see where within yourself you feel you aren’t good enough and you judge yourself. You say things like you should have done it this way, you should have done this, you should have done that. But the beauty of it all is you did it perfect, look at yourself on this stage again, can you see that having that experience is exactly what your higher power wanted you to have. What we actually came here for as humans beings is to be a spiritual being having a human experience. We get caught up in the make believe of it all, do we really lose it all.
Now say to yourself on stage that FEAR is really spelled False Evidence Appearing Real. What happened on stage is we had it in our mind that IT should look at certain way and when it does not we tell ourselves we have failed. Then we get caught up in the mess of the fear.
We always get to be right, and the players on the stage have proved you right time and time again. What would happen if you just thanked them all for coming and playing those parts and you started laughing. Go ahead witness yourself standing on stage now laughing at all of what you have created, fears and all. Can you feel your fears while you are laughing, I can not? Go ahead and shake everyone’s hand on stage and thank them for playing those parts, tell them what an outstanding actor or actress they are and give them their Oscar. Now turn around and face the audience, thank them for coming and watching the show. Create the next scene of your life, what will it be fear or LOVE.
Our higher power whatever you call your higher power I choose to call my higher power God is sending us love all the time, matter of fact it is all LOVE, now see yourself on stage accepting LOVE as your Oscar. Feel the LOVE. What I feel is that we have these spiritual experiences to feel compassion for ourselves to then have compassion for the person that you listened to in the first place about your fears. When you look at everyone on the stage and have compassion (not sympathy) for them and what they have created in their life then you awaken to the LOVE that is in your life. We are all doing the best we can with our patterns. The next time you get caught in your fears, what will you do with them. Think about yourself on stage and that stage is called life.
Choose to do that pattern differently and see how that feels. Remember FEAR is spelled False Evidence Appearing Real. Have faith and believe in the unseen and unknown and know your are completely LOVED for just who you are.
