[[File'''Mental Fear''' 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. <ref>http:FandC 9//incarnateword.png|center|1000px]]in/cwm/03/19-may-1929#p18</ref>

FearWe like, love, welcome, desire and sorrow are diseases of the mind; born of its sense of division and limitation. <ref>http://incarnateword.hope for, joy in/cwsa/23/gnosis-and-ananda#p16</ref> Fear is deeply rooted in the unconscious and comes from the forces of ignorance of the lower whatever our nature. Fear is also a terribly contagious collective thing—it is much more contagious than , the most contagious first habit of illnesses. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/05/14-october-1953#p38</ref> It is in the vital that the fear is felt and if one is sensitiveour being, then they feel the fear in the environment and their vital latches onto it. It comes from or else a disharmony between formed (often perverse) habit, the vital vibrations. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/10-march-1954#p24</ref>Fear is a barrier on the path second nature of yoga as it hinders our being, presents to the closeness between the human soul and the divine. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/10-march-1954#p24</ref>It indicates an invasion of the hostile forces in the human consciousness. The hostile forces have created fear mind as a means of dominating living beingspleasant, animals and men. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/16/10-november-1965#p3</ref>It is more of a nervous sensation than an emotion . <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/24/the-instruments-of-the-spirit#p8</ref>Causes of fearAttachmentpriyam; we hate, desiredislike, need for attentionfear, trying to please and cravings come have repulsion from the narrow limits  of the consciousness. These when they go unfulfilled gives rise to or grief. Grief in turn gives rise to fear. The world is full of things that are unpleasant and one of the reactions whatever it presents to those us as unpleasant things is fear. <ref>http://incarnateword, apriyam.in/cwm/03/30-june-1929#p5</ref> This instinctive fear is almost inherited like various other stereotypes, race feelings, attractions and associations. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/03/30-june-1929#p3</ref>Types habit of fearFear is manifested in different parts the emotional nature gets into the way of selves i.e. physical fear, mental fear the intelligent will and vital fear. In majority makes it often a helpless slave of the people, physical is governed by the subconscious emotional being or at least prevents it from exercising a free judgment and fears that are driven out government of active consciousness take refuge in that subconscious. Thus, the physical fear is in the subconscious hidden by the mental and vital fear which are much more consciousnature. <ref>http://incarnatewordThis deformation has to be corrected.in/cwm/06/10-march-1954#p24</ref> The fear By getting rid of desire in the physical is psychic prana and its intermiscence in the sheer cells of the body and thus emotional mind, we facilitate the body trembles with just a slight quiveringcorrection. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwmcwsa/0724/11-maypurification-1955#p14</ref>When one indulges in unhealthy imagination, they give form to fears on the mental plane, thus causing mental fear. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/03/power-oflower-imaginationmentality#p1p7</ref> However, a man is a rational being, and one of the ways of overcoming fear is also through mind. As one can have immense fear in their physical and vital but by the force of mind one can overcome those fears. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/fear#p15</ref>Central vital, corresponding to the manipura chakra, is the seat of vitality and power. When fear invades through this, it can  can possess and invade the consciousness. However, through deep courage this power of illusion and fear can be cast away.

= Overcoming '''Physical Fear =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.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>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>Progress can be really slow but through courage and faith one can fight the adverse forces and expand the consciousness.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>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  used to govern the vital.'

= Fear In the large majority of men, the body receives its inspirations from the subconscient, it is under the influence of the subconscient. All the fears driven out from the active consciousness go and Illness =take refuge there and then, naturally, they have to be chased out from the subconscient and uprooted from there. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/04/14-march-1951#p27</ref>

One Fear can be overcome by vigilance, courage, calmness, attitude of surrender and wideness of consciousness. If you remain vigilant, then with the most subtle fear is increase of the fear Force upholding you, a power of death which comes from  the concern for self-preservation so as control will come, a power to ensure see and reject the continuity of consciousness, fearing wrong turn or the unknownwrong reaction when it comes. THowever, Fear and unhappiness will not give you that. It is only by this fear of death is in vigilance accompanied by an opening to the physical cells selves which is beyond reason supporting and almost unconsciousguiding Force that it will come. Thus, it is the most difficult to uproot<ref>http://incarnateword. in/cwsa/31/fear#p12</ref>

This One of the great remedies for conquering fear goes against the fundamental notion that  life is One and immortalto face boldly what one fears. The forms You are countless, fleeting put face to face with the danger you fear and brittle. This understanding can help us overcome you fear of death.  Thus reason can be used, another method is that of inner seeking i.e. searching the immortal light of psychic consciousness which is in all and identifying with itno longer.  Complete surrender to the Divine, and believing that all of us belong to Him integrallyThe fear disappears. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/1206/the-fear-of-death-and-the-four-methods-of10-conqueringmarch-it1954#p5p22</ref>

The In order to set out on these paths without fear of death is not just restricted to the death of the physicaland without any danger, but also one must have organised his being with the death help of reason around the egohighest centre he consciously possesses, the death of and organised it in such a past version of one’s self, the fear of letting go. When one does not have the courage to live, way that it is often because something within oneself inwardly in his control and he has not to die for something new to be born. It is then one should say at every moment, "Ah! I have that done this, I don't know why. Ah! That's happened to me, I don'couraget know why"—and always it is "I don't know, I don't know, I don't know", and as long as it is like that, the true '''courage''' to abolish the egopath is somewhat dangerous. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/1507/2225-novembermay-19581955#p7p55</ref>

= Fear The way to attain to this perfect consciousness is to increase your actual consciousness beyond its present grooves and Religion =limits, to educate it, to open it to the Divine Light and to let the Divine Light work in it fully and freely. But the Light can do its full and unhindered work only when you have got rid of all craving and fear, when you have no mental prejudices, no vital preferences, no physical apprehensions or attractions to obscure or bind you. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/fear#p14</ref>

The '''fear''' of And the Gods truth is that if instead of being shut up in the beginning narrow limits of their little person, they could so widen their consciousness as to be able not only to identify themselves with others in their narrow limits, but to come out of religionthese limits, pass beyond, spread out everywhere, unite with the one Consciousness and become all things, then, at that moment the narrow limits will vanish, but not before. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsacwm/2405/the-motives19-ofaugust-devotion1953#p3p27</ref> '''Fear''' of the gods arose from man's ignorance of God and his ignorance of the laws that govern the world. The idea of the divine in the form of judge, king exaggerates the importance of the sense of sin and thereby prolongs and increases the soul's '''fear''' and self-distrust and weakness. The fear of god is useful only when the soul has not yet grown sufficiently to follow good for its own sake and needs an authority above it whose judgment it can '''fear''' and found upon that '''fear''' its fidelity to virtue.

= Courage = Courage Another effective method is the total absence of fear for those who have faith in any form. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/agenda/10/december-17-1969</ref> True couragea God, in its deepest sensetheir God, is and who have given themselves to be able him. They belong to face everything, everything in life, from him integrally; all the smallest things to events of their lives are an expression of the greatestdivine will and they accept them not merely with calm submission but with gratitude, from material things for they are convinced that whatever happens to things of the spirit, without them is always for their own good. They have a shudder, without physically …mystic trust in their God and in their personal relationship with him.without the heart beginning They have made an absolute surrender of their will to beat fasterhis and feel his unvarying love and protection, without the nerves trembling, without wholly independent of the slightest emotion in any part accidents of life and death. They have the being. Face everything with a constant awareness experience of lying at the Divine Presence, a total feet of their Beloved in an absolute self-giving to the Divine, surrender or of being cradled in his arms and the whole being unified enjoying a perfect security. There is no longer any room in this willtheir consciousness for fear, anxiety or torment; then you can go forward in life all that has been replaced by a calm and face anything whateverdelightful bliss. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/0712/26the-januaryfear-1955</ref> When the vital is entirely surrendered to the divine it is full of courage, enthusiasm. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/07/9-februarydeath-1955#p36</ref> = Conclusion = Everyone possesses two opposite tendencies of character, in almost equal proportions, which are like the light and -the shadow -four-methods-of the same thing. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/3-februaryconquering-1954it#p15p3</ref> ThusHowever, when one has there is a way to be free from fear, one also has courage. And : it is to get over this impurity of fear one has the resources have faith in the form of courage, tapas Divine Grace and surrender.  Fear is a hidden consent. When one is afraid of something, it means that to rely on It to protect you admit its possibility and thus strengthen its hand. It can be said that it is a subconscient consent. Fear can be overcome in many waysall circumstances. The ways of courage, reason, faith, knowledge, surrender are some of them. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/fear#p47</ref>  '''Content curated by Suhani Tanna'''
