<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000;">The repulsion you speak of comes from fear; if there were no fear, it would not exist. This fear is not based on reason, it is instinctive; it is not individual, but racial; it is a general suggestion and belongs to the consciousness of humanity as a whole. When one takes up the human body, one accepts along with it a mass of these general suggestions, race ideas, race feelings of mankind, associations, attractions, repulsions, fears.</span> <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/03/30-june-1929#p3</ref>
== How to deal with Physical Fear ==
'''Mental Fear'''
 
 
'''Vital Fear'''
 
'''Physical Fear'''
<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">If it is a vital fear, you must reason with yourself and go about it all the same. But if it is a physical instinct (that is possible, it happens very often that there is a kind of physical instinct), in that case you must listen to it, for the instinct of the body is a very sure thing, if it is not disturbed by thought or vital will. The body left to itself knows very well what it can and what it cannot do. And not only that but even a thing that one can do and does usually, if one day you feel a sort of repulsion, as if you were shrinking back, you must definitely not do it; it is an indication that for some reason or other—a purely material reason of a disorder in the functioning of the body—you are not fit to do the thing at that time. Then you must not do it. </span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#0066cc;"><u><ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/05/24-june-1953#p19</ref></u></span>
