Releasing Fear


	Fear at all levels does destroy lives. Whenever we allow fear to govern our actions, fear will remove our ability to live in a love based existence. Fear is self perpetuating, and if we respond to fear with more fear, we have perpetuated fear, and allowed fear to take control. We must respond to fear with love, because there is no other way to defeat fear. In fact, we cannot defeat fear, but we can remove power from fear by not feeding fear, by not accepting fear. Unless fear is sustained, fear cannot survive, and this is how we will transform our own life, and the earth plane to a love based environment, by removing fear, and responding with love.

	The reality is that our fear is not real. Fear looks real, fear feels real, fear smells real, fear tastes real, and fear sounds real. However fear is not real. Fear is an illusion, and fear has no basis for existence within reality. Fear can only be created within ourselves, and once we have created fear, fear can manifest itself as any of our negative emotions, from hate, to ego, to anxiety. Our fear may be anger, or bitterness, jealousy or imagined inadequacies, and even our appearance and so on. The list of the ways in which fear can manifest itself is seemingly endless. We should not underestimate fear, and what fear can do. Fear can twist itself in whatever way is necessary for fear to survive, and fear can disguise itself as love. Fear can quickly take hold without any real basis for it's existence. If we accept fear, we give fear a basis for existence, we make fear real, and we give fear life.

	Fear strikes at us even though fear has no substance. If fear is ignored, fear goes away. However, if fear is accepted by either fighting the fear, or embracing the fear, fear is given substance, and fear will then feed on itself. Fear is an illusion, but once given life fear becomes real. Nevertheless, fear is an illusion created by ourselves and made stronger by the amount that we have fed fear. If we feed fear for a lifetime, fear becomes very strong. If we feed fear for many lifetimes, fear can become so powerful that fear is a tangible, and our fear seems to take on a life of it's own. Fear can be both individual or collective if a group of souls or a community, feed the same fear.

	The truth is that if we discontinue feeding fear, if we starve fear, fear will cease to exist, because fear does not exist. There are two ways in which we can release fear. The most difficult way to release fear is to realise fear, or make fear real. When we realise our fear we need to live our fear for as long as it takes us to understand that our fear is not real, but an illusion. We may need to live our fear for but a moment until we understand that our fear is an illusion, or we may need to live our lifetime based on fear before we realise that our fear is an illusion. If we do not understand that our fear is an illusion and not real within our lifetime, we will live our fears again in another lifetime. We may live the same fear over and over again with the fear becoming more powerful, and more real with every lifetime for millennia, before we understand that fear is an illusion. The easiest way to release our fear, is to discontinue feeding our fear. If we acknowledge our fear, we give life to our fear. The only way to take the life from our fear, is to discontinue acknowledging our fear, and to allow our fear to starve.

	Fear is an illusion and we can only defeat fear if we treat fear as an illusion. The only way to treat fear as an illusion is to ignore the illusion, and to act as if the illusion does not exist. Fear cannot be fought because the very act of attempting to fight fear, breeds more fear, and allows fear to grow. The only way to engage fear is on fear's terms, because the act of engaging fear is in itself, fear's terms. To survive, fear needs to either be embraced or engaged, and either way we are acknowledging the reality of fear's existence. As soon as we acknowledge the reality of fear's existence, we have given fear reality, and in so doing we allow ourselves to exist within fear.

	Fear looks and feels real, and fear seems to be real. We cannot prove that fear is not real. However, fear is artificial. If we ignore fear, and go about our business as if fear does not exist, fear will simply disappear in time. We have to neither hide from our fears, nor confront our fears. The only way to move passed fear into love is to ignore the existence of fear. We need to accept that fear is an illusion, and when we accept that fear is an illusion, fear looses its reality. However, we cannot force ourselves to accept that fear is an illusion. If we force ourselves to accept that fear is an illusion, we are acknowledging the existence of fear, and this in itself is enough to give fear life.

	If we acknowledge our fear and allow our fear to govern us we give life to our fear. If we acknowledge our fear and fight our fear, we give life to our fear. If we acknowledge our fear and we ignore our fear, we give life to our fear. If we are to release fear, we need to act as though fear does not exist. If we act as though fear does not exist, if we do not acknowledge the existence of our fear, we will starve our fear, and in time our fear will cease to exist. The only way to remove fear from our existence, is to discontinue to give life to fear, through living as though fear does not exist. If we live as though fear does not exist, fear will cease to exist.
