Fear? What is fear to you?

[Mr positive]

I saw this interesting article that says fear can stand for ?False Experiences Appearing Real! Now this is the big aha moment for me! I tend to say oh this is gonna happen oh im afraid this will happen if i do this! Its just made up scenerios that never even happen well hasnt happened yet! I believe in my experience that fear to me can also stand for false expectation about reality! We have this expectation that things will go wrong before we even see it through! I am trying to adopt a new expectation of life! See the positive and realise that fear is just a four letter word! It has no bearing in my life! What do you guys think?

To me, fear is a good thing and something I am grateful for. I'm glad when I feel fear because it's my emotions giving me a heads up that what I'm thinking is bogus.

I don't face my fear I don't ignore my fear, I acknowledge it. Give thanks for the warning that I am not focusing in a way that is benefical, then with my thoughts, on purpose, I shift my focus.

You're reading Ask and It is Given right? What does Hicks say? When we ask for something it is automatically given, so our inner being becomes whatever we ask for. Our inner being is who we really are, pure postive energy. Emotions are our guidance system that show us whether we are focusing the same way our inner being is or if we are not. That is why we feel fear, pain, anger, powerlessness. Because who we really are already has those desires and when we focus on something bogus or the lack of it, we are holding ourselves back from who we really are and that is what hurts.  Fear is one of those emotions that show you what you  are doing in regards to whether you are allowing the fullness of who you are (which already has the desires wanted) or if youre holding yourself apart from that by focusing on something that is not "true".

That's my take on it.

That interpretation is awesome! So insightful and yes im on page 120 and the book is due on the 12th so im going to have to hustle lol! But yea i know its a good thing but im just saying its false and im glad for feelings! So much easier to feel the thoughts than to listen to every thought!

I love abes way of explaining things! So simple andyet true! But yeah im going to really feel it out for now on instead of ignoring my feelings! Fear to me should always be challenged! I mean like saying yeah i really dont know if that will really happen because it has not happened yet! And yeah i love it, fear is just a feeling that shows you you are holding yourself back! Perfect! Thanks!

"Feel the fear and do it anyway!"  You have no idea how amazing life is when you fight through your fear!!

This is exactly what i meant in my One liner:

"Fear is the science of Unknown, If you master it, it brings Adventure. If it masters you, it brings Worries."  - AS

Fear, if controlled over brings in Adventure, else Worries.

Hi All,

The worst kind of fear that I have ever felt is "fear of success". My God, I did not know about the existence of this phrase. But it is true for me.

@Ankur: It is absolutely true. You hold the bridle, fear brings adventure. You allow it to go on autopilot, it brings you trouble, worry and migraine.

@Mariposa, (KnJ): You have no idea, you changed my thinking with this phrase "Feel the fear and do it anyway!". This is what I am doing right now.

@Alexia: Absolutely true. Unless and until, you acknowledge the existence of fear, it is not possible to control its intensity and channelize it towards positive end.

@ Mr positive: Thanks for starting this post. This is something that goes to the core of manifestation.

Best Regards,
Shrikanya

fear is an ego based  imaginary situation projected in the future, by simply removing you focus from the past and into the present it dissolves.

Have you worked at NASA Bytheway? Sounds like a Rocket Science Phrase... (Kidding...)
