→Relationship Between Different Parts of Selves with Fear
<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#0066cc;"><u>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/05/24-june-1953#p19</u></span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">There are physical movements, effects of the pressure of the Yoga, which sometimes create ungrounded fears that may do harm if the fear is not rejected. There is, for instance, a certain pressure in the head of which there has been question and which is felt by many, especially in the earlier stages, when something that is still closed has to open. It is a discomfort that comes to nothing and can easily be got over, if you know that it is an effect of the pressure of the forces to which you are opening, when they work strongly on the body to produce a result and to hasten the transformation. </span>
<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">Physically, well... When you do not any longer have the other two fears[mental and vital fears], you can become aware of the physical fear. Generally, the other two are much more conscious. They hide the physical fear from you. But when you have no longer any mental or vital fear, then you become aware of it. It is a curious little vibration that gets into your cells and they begin shivering that way. But the cells are not like a heart beating very fast. It is in the very cells: they tremble with just a slight quivering. And it is very difficult to control this. Yet it can be controlled.</span>[<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/05/22-july-1953#p17 http://incarnateword.in/cwm/05</22-july-1953#p17]ref>
<div style="color:#000000;">But when one can eliminate fear, one is almost in safety. For example, epidemics, or so-called epidemics, like those which are raging at present—ninety-nine times out of a hundred they come from fear: a fear, then, which even becomes a mental fear in its most sordid form, promoted by newspaper articles, useless talk and so on.</div>
<div style="color:#000000;">Every time you indulge your imagination in an unhealthy way, giving a form to your fears and anticipating accidents and misfortunes, you are undermining your own future. On the other hand, the more optimistic your imagination, the greater the chance of your realising your aim.</div>
