Fear - A Creation of Vital Plane


There is no fear in the higher nature. fear is creation of the vita plane, an instinct of the ignorance, a sense of danger with a violent vital reaction that replaces and usually prevents or distorts the intelligence of things. It might almost be considered as an invention of the hostile forces.

Yes, Fear creates Imaginary terrors - even if there is real danger, fear doesn't help; it clouds the intelligence, takes away presence of mind and prevents one seeing the right thing to do.

Fear is the prettiest give these beings have give to the world. It is their first present, and the most powerful. It is through fear that they hold human beings. First of all, they create a movement of fear; the movement of fear weakens you, then hands you over little by little in to their power. And it is not even a reasonable fear; it is a kind of fear which seizes you, you don't know why, something that makes you tremble, gives you anxiety. You don't know why, it has no apparent reason. It is their action.

You feel it in your sensation. All at once you feel hot, you feel cold, you perspire or all kinds of unpleasant things happen. And then you feel your heart beating fast and suddenly you have fever and then the circulation stops and you become cold. Physically, well... when you do not any longer have the other two fears, you can become aware of the physical fear. Generally the other two are much more conscious. They hide the physi...

Fear - A Phenomenen of Unconsciousness

Image
Fear is a phenomenon of unconsciousness. It is a kind of anguish that comes from ignorance.One doesn't know the nature of a certain thing, doesn't know its effect or what will happen, one does not know the consequences of one's acts, one does not know so may things; and this ignorance brings FEAR. One Fears what one does not know. Take a child, if it is brought before someone it does not know (I'm speaking about the ordinary child not a child which awakened inner consciousness) - you bring it before someone it does not know, its first moment will always be one of Fear. Only very rare children are very Bold.It may also be mixture of apprehension, a kind of instinct. When one instinctively feels that something is dangerous and hasn't the means to remedy it, when one does not know what to do to protect himself from it, then he is afraid. There are, I believe, Countless reason for Fear. But it is movement of unconsciousness, in every case. That which knows has no Fear....
