= Overcoming Fear =
<div style="color:#000000;">One needs to put sincere effort and discipline in overcoming physical fear. To put effort one needs to be courageous in not thinking about the object of fear, because when one fears and constantly imagines the object of fear, then it is as though one is attracting the object of fear. Instead one must use one’s mind to imagine how would one like to respond to the object of fear.</div><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">Through expanding one's consciousness, by educating it and opening to the divine light one can let go of all grief and fear. If one truly believes in the Divine, surrenders to the Divine, and opens one’s self to its protection and light, putting away one's own ego, fear is bound to go away. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/05/24-june-1953#p14</ref></span><div style="color:#000000;">When the fear is deeply rooted, one needs to grip it hard and pull it out, which hurts the surface nature, but if one can have the courage and focus on one’s light, it is possible. One needs to be vigilant and not allow it to come back. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/05/10-june-1953#p8</ref></div><div style="color:#000000;">Progress can be really slow but through courage and faith one can fight the adverse forces and expand the consciousness.</div><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">When one lacks the trust in the divine, they solely depend on themselves. This path can be difficult as one’s trust still lies in ego’s personal independence and there is a refusal to surrender. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/03/14-april-1929#p4</ref></span><div style="color:#000000;">Mind and vital are mixed up on the surface of the consciousness, but they are quite separate forces in themselves. As one is able to separate them, their distinct action can be understood and used in overcoming fear. Mind can accept the Divine more easily while the vital is unconvinced and obstinately goes on in search of desire, passion and attraction to the ordinary life. Then, mind under the influence of the soul can be &nbsp;used  used to govern the vital. </div>
