== What is Mental Fear==
<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>

<span style="background-color:transparent;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. </span><u><ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/03/power-of-imagination#p1</ref></u>
