fear paralyzes

[shadowbox]

this evening i was stuck staring at a cabinet door in the kitchen when i sincerely realized that fear is just a waste of energy. it is fear that absolutely paralyzes you and your visions. it is completely pointless. it is counterproductive.

all the reading and researching that i have been doing on alternative media websites and forums in recent months has lead me down the rabbit hole quite a bit. i feel as if i am possessed by some insatiable desire to go deeper and deeper down this rabbit hole. perpetually hoping to reveal all sorts of earth-shattering truths.

the deeper i went down the rabbit hole, the deeper the feeling of eternal depression settled inside of me. a sickly realization of the world we live in.

curiosity had suddenly manifested into a chaotic and questionable realization of reality.

i feel that it is one thing to maintain the very thought of the idea of this manifestation. it is another thing to truly understand the truth behind the idea of this manifestation.

and i wanted more. i couldn't resist.

until now. no longer will my default webpage be a news hub or an alternative media forum. no longer will i spend countless hours reading into conspiratorial theories and ideas. this just accelerates the very reality of these ideas and theories. i am not saying it is not important to look into them, it just not a good idea to get caught up in them.

it is important to realize the reality of the world, but it is not important to be fearful.

what does it matter? the only truth, anyway, is love and light.

the internal vision and light is so incredibly vital ...

this has all blocked my internal vision, my internal light. after having this realization this evening, i immediately sat back down at my beloved synthesizer and got lost in the music again for the first time in months.

fear paralyzes your vision and blocks your light.

thankfully, i have found my light once again. all inspired by the cabinet door in the kitchen.

love is eternal... love is the fabric of it all...

it is important to have access to all flavors of information, but it is even more important to stay in contact with you inner light.

at this moment, i feel all has culminated into this simple realization that i drew this evening in my kitchen. albeit a very important one...

.. thank you ..

Fear is the lowest possible vibration. As you say, it blocks you from acting.
Feeling fear reading news and forums is just a stage of insecurity, and when you overcome it, you just don't go back again.
There is no reason for fear. What can happen to you anyway? The worst is the feeling you will die. But, you will anyway. So, why living in a constant fear of disappearance, whatever happens, you'll be born again. The goal is seeing this life like a theatre play. It is just a role you play to experience the contrasts of this learning process.
Somebody can kill me. Uuu, big deal. I'll change my body. I am quite bored with it already. Something more terrible?
Acceptance of the life as it is is the most important move you can make to start to see that the sun is bright, the morning light I'm seeing thru my window is full of gold, life energy and Universal beauty. This is what counts and not fear. Running away from the news and forums is not a solution. News are 99,9% lie, we know that, so why to be concerned. Forums are place to share opinions, and these are just opinions. And the absolute truth is not existent. I have mine, you have yours, and everything is changing all the time. Like a big train station where trains come and go all the time from and to different places. So grab the train of happiness and enjoy the trip. Don't fear.

Fear is a construct of the mind !
We fear what we can imagine that can happen.
Truth in history and lies are made to make people fear, it is mind games to control people by fear.
In real one have not time to fear, the situation creates super focus and reaction to run or fight or maybe to just stand in the situation.

People fear what they dont know.

I know the spirit is guiding us all and when we are studding "dark " Things it is to have the ability to let them go later on.
To seek the truth can draw one down in vibration I do advise all to take a break and listen to soft music, lit some candels, get some massage.
Do something joyful.

There will be no true light as long as there is fear issues left.
But all have its own time !

And take 3 deep breaths !

Namaste

Thank you for thoughts folks.

I have had many experiences where the fear builds up and you cant do or say what you want, then you realise what your doing and just go for it. I call it my "Aww f**k it!" moment. Sorry for the bad language but this term is whats in my head and seems to encapulate the moment best for me! I just let go. And amazingly, almost instantly evrything is better.

I think Bill once said you have to have the courage to jump and the angels will always catch you. But you wont know until you jump. I liked that.

Sadly, most of us live our lives in fear and doubt. As for the news, just catch up for a few minutes every day, then leave it. Do not dwell on the negative energies that pervade our world. Be prepared, but do not obsess.

Living with fear is just living your life in your imagination. Doubt is the insecurity placed on us by the controllers of the world. Do not doubt, as we are all magnificent beings capable of anything.

Actually, the fight or flight mechanism is quite relevant. It may be one of the many reasons for the continuance of our species.

That said, emotionally generated fear by rogue mental processes for non-existent events (i.e. things that are not immediate threats to your life or health) do not have any value, except to "wake oneself" up to the now.

It's important not to confuse these two.

Great fear can be the difference between, Vibrating out of control whilst experiencing a 'sleep paralysis' episode,,, and,,, Having a perfectly clear and lucid conscious exit projection. or OBE. You are exactly right in my opinion, Shadowbox. Fear depletes the vital body of its vital/spiritual energy. Jake...

To me fear is a valuable tool.

and surely one can get obscessed in fear and become paralized by it and get hooked into the sensationalism of it... but if you don't allow that here is what fear is..

fear is a biological response to gut instinct that is telling you that your body is potentially in danger either in the short term or long term

Fear is a protective warning defice.

what you do with this physiological response is determined by your mind not your body.

Your body is trying to tell you something.... your mind must interpret the message and make an action
either in active movement or denial, or some kind of adjustment to your reality to quell the fear and satisfy your body wisdom that the mind is alert and ready to address the situation.

If you are loaded with lots of mind programing your fear response can get way out of hand.
If you are using your mental functions to assess and make decsions in a reasonable manner the fear will
go.

Often the body demands that the mind respond in action... like when your fear on the highway demands that your mind pay attention to events that makes you move your car so you are not killed.

Many of our fears are not so directly related to immediate life or death situations.

For instance.... the nuclear fallout thing with Japan.. we know fallout is dangerous. We hear the news that fallout may be coming our way... our body responds with a rush of hormones that causes fear... our mind analyses and determines if the fear is rational. Some of us seek protection in something like potassium iodide.. others go into denial. others rationalize that it is impossible for the fallout to make it to the USA. ... the mind may be compelled to spend a fair amount of time trying to figure out if the danger is real so you will be compelled to do internet searchs or seek advise from other places before the mind can take action in any direction.. The fear motivates the mind to attain information to base a judgement and action.

regardless of what decison the mind ends up making regarding its response to fear the body has done its task to wake the mind up to the potenially dangerous possibility...

Your fear is your bodies way of telling to to wake up, do an analysis and make a decision to protect your life... it is part of your animal nature, your physicality, your instinctual response that demands respect and negotiation and often it demands repeated analysis until it feels safe or that things are being done by the mind to assure the survivial of the physical..

If your mind has been programed into lots of false fears you will physiologically respond regardless of what the truth is on true danger levels. So in this situation you have work to adjust your belief systems to more reality based paradigm. Body is capable of responding to basic danger signals instinctually...it can be taught new danger signals though appropriate education via the mind...

since our media is fear stimulating based many of us have some reprograming to do...but it is difficult becasue we cannot often ascertain the truth as we have been given so many lies... we have created misplaced fears based on unreal situations...

although many of us realize here that our souls are eternal our physicality is a limited program and the body, though a life and determinaiton of its own wishes to live and it will do what it must to assure the mind will comply. The high self can mediate between the two if you can tap into that source.

Shadowbox, I went through the same thing when I first began to realize how things really are. This line from a song pretty much sums it up. "I woke up to find myself behind enemy lines". A rather freaky and disorienting situation. Know that this can be just a phase(and a useful one) in your rabbit hole journey, if you can dare to stand your psychic ground and stare it down. There were many many times during my first several months of awakening and exploring the depravity running things on this planet where all I wanted to do was double over and vomit profusely.

See it for what it is, as much as you can stomach, take a break and do it again. It's probably the hardest thing one can do in life, but you WILL come out the other side. And WHEN you do YOU will be IT'S master, not the other way around. You will see how weak and pathetic it really is, how pitiful it is, and eventually you will come to forgive it, for it is so lost it knows not what it does.

Like me, you asked for the rabbit hole, and you got it. This trial by fire is part of the deal, for further unencumbered exploration you must pass through it. I guaran f*****g tee you you won't be sorry. Yes, your inner light will be troubled and shrouded for a while, but it's ability to shine on the other side will be unlimited... You'll be free to never look back...


Cheers,

Beautifily said. Fear is generated at many different levels. Mostly self-generated, methinks. It can be your physical body sending the appropriate signals that create the response in the brain, and can manifest as fear. Or it will come from an outside source via our own thoughts, making fear, again, self-generated. I have the tendancy to experience much fear during astral projection. My fear/panic 'reflex' is alive and well outside of the physical. Which means that fear is a physical/non-physical reality. In the non-physical, one can experience 'fear' that has nothing to do with themselves, (as we are clearly more connected in the astral) and can experience fear as a reflection of another. Ie, we are experiencing THIER fear. Although it is an identical feeling. In the physical, fear can be our best friend, and keep us safe. In the non-physical. Fear is a barrier. And Consumes great energy. In my exerience, fear is a duality. Just like many spiritual aspects of our nature. Fear of the unknown is not necesarily fear caused by any physical stimuli, or any thought in your head. (of course this is my experience.) Fear is also very individual, and can't really be summed up in this one post. I love this topic. jake.

welcome to the club ^^

though in my experience so far, i've had that realization quite a few times lol. each time it gets stronger and you have the opportunity to ground yourself further.

also that there're many other things that are a waste of energy too..
my favorites include being upset, angry, hateful, overly eccentric, righteouess, panicky (a huge one in terms of detriment to one's situation), to name a few.
thats not to say one should try to suppress from ever arising in your head - thats natural - but rather explore them, go into it, face it, challenge and question if you must. eventually those "inner demons" will show their face because while they can influence and subvert your True Will at times, they are ultimately your own creations and cannot hide forever. once you see their "trick", whatever it is your missing that gives them that hold over you, they no longer have any power over you unless you consciously choose to.

i personally dont think fear is necessary for physical survival. having desire and will to live, experience and create will give you an astronomically greater "survival rating" than fear, as fear and logic tend not to get along most of the time. it has the added potential benefit of finding every moment in its own beauty :)

peace and love eternal.

I say, has not the human element, emotion, been so abused that meaning has been clouded!? How is it that in one moment some speak of an emotion being all that should be, proclaiming it is the human experience; and in another moment make claim that an emotion should be quashed!?

As with one emotion, does not the other have time and place of purpose!? Cannot the emotion 'fear' be cause for good when understood and controlled!? Is not the emotion misunderstood as something not desired, based on what the few have continuously imposed on the masses!?

Has it been forgotten what the emotion 'fear' offers!? Are not senses heightened, abilities increased, thought clearer and warning when properly harnessed, the results!? Is it the emotion that is at fault, or is it that human beings have lost 'control' over such emotions!?

Is not the lack of understanding based on complicating the uncomplicated, which is based on human arrogance to fulfill need!? I say, to lack a tool is not to be prepared when needed; lest the same result as having clouded perception, as caused by other emotions.

[shadowbox]

Well, that's what I was referring to. The whole fight or flight thing is completely different... and I don't really think that's fear so much as it is will to live. Maybe initially it is fear, but it quickly manifests into a will to not lose ones life, etc...

[shadowbox]

I feel as if the English language does not offer enough words to describe varying degrees of the word "fear". Fear of a potential nuclear fallout from Japan is one thing ... fear running through the jungle from a lion attempting to devour you is another.

Fear is extremely variable ... indirect fear and direct fear.

This is not my 'comment style'; with this said, I wish to share this music video, which coincides with the topic of this thread. The music genre may not be for all; however, the message it presents is the objective - enjoy.
