→What is Fear
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000;">Fear is a phenomenon of unconsciousness. It is a kind of anguish that comes from ignorance. One does not know the nature of a certain thing, does not know its effect or what will happen, does not know the consequences of one's acts, one does not know so many things; and this ignorance brings fear. One fears what one does not know. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/10-march-1954#p20</ref></span>
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000;">When an abyss separates the true being from the physical being, Nature fills it up immediately with all kinds of adverse suggestions, the most formidable of which is fear, and the most pernicious, doubt. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/insincerity-pretension-and-self-deception#p20</ref></span>

<span style="; color: #000000;">Fear</span><span style="color: #000000;">, desire and sorrow are diseases of the mind; born of its sense of division and limitation, they cease with the falsehood that begot them. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/23/gnosis-and-ananda#p16</ref></span>
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000;">In life it is the action of the subconscious that has the larger share and it acts a hundred times more powerfully than the conscious parts. The normal human condition is a state filled with apprehensions and fears; if you observe your mind deeply for ten minutes, you will find that for nine out of ten it is full of fears—it carries in it fear about many things, big and small, near and far, seen and unseen, and though you do not usually take conscious notice of it, it is there all the same. To be free from all fear can come only by steady effort and discipline. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/03/19-may-1929#p18</ref></span>
