Fear - Cause and Cure

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....

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 ...

Fear and anxiety are perverse forms of will. What though fearest and Ponderest over, striking that note repeatedly in thy mind, though helpest to bring about; for, if thy will above the surface of waking repels it, it is yet what thy mind underneath is all along willing , and the subconscious mind is mightier, wider,better equiped to fulfill than thy waking force and Intellect. but the spirit is stronger than both together' from fear and hope take refuge in the grandiose calm and careless mastery of the spirit. Think this when thy member would fain make love with depression and weakness, "I'm Bacchus and Ares and Apollo; I'm Agni pure and invisible; I'm Surya ever burn mightily."
