Changes

Fear, desire and sorrow are diseases of the mind; born of its sense of division and limitation. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/23/gnosis-and-ananda#p16</ref> 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>Fear is also a terribly contagious collective thing—it is much more contagious than the most contagious of illnesses. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/05/14-october-1953#p38</ref>

Fear is manifested in different parts of selves i.e. '''physical can be classified as mental fear, mental vital fear and physical fear. Mental fear—all who have a little control over themselves or any human dignity can eliminate it; vital fear'''. In majority of the peopleis more subtle and asks for a greater control; as for physical fear, physical a veritable yoga is governed by necessary to overcome it, for the cells of the subconscious and fears that body are driven out afraid of active consciousness take refuge in everything that subconscious. Thusis unpleasant, painful, and as soon as there is any unease, even if it is insignificant, the physical fear is in cells of the subconscious hidden by body become anxious, they don't like to be uncomfortable. And then, to overcome that, the mental and vital fear which are much more control of a consciouswill is necessary. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/0609/1019-marchjune-19541957#p24p6</ref> 

=Why '''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 is Fear=all the same. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/03/19-may-1929#p18</ref>

'''Vital Fear stems from a sense '''The fear is again that of inferioritythe physical consciousness or of the vital element in it—it is afraid if it gives up desire that it will lose everything—or everything it wants—and gain nothing in exchange or at least nothing it wants. <ref> http://incarnateword. [22]in/cwsa/31/desire#p56</ref>

There are three reasons. First, an excessive concern about one's security''Physical Fear'''It is a curious little vibration that gets into your cells and they begin shivering that way. Next, what one does But the cells are not know always gives an uneasy feeling which like a heart beating very fast. It is translated in the consciousness by fearvery cells: they tremble with just a slight quivering. And above all, one doesn't have the habit of a spontaneous trust in the Divineit is very difficult to control this. Yet it can be controlled. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/0405/1422-marchjuly-19511953#p30p17</ref>

= Overcoming 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 stems from a sense 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 awayinferiority. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/0512/24-june-1953students#p14p35</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 A vast majority of men like 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 live in ego’s personal independence and there is a refusal limited sphere bound to surrender. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/03/14-april-1929#p4</ref>Mind their littleness and vital are mixed up on the surface of the consciousness, but they are quite separate forces in themselvesfalsehood. As one is able to separate them, their distinct action can be understood and used in overcoming They fear. Mind can accept the Divine more easily while the vital is unconvinced freedom 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 vitallight.

= '''Vital Fear and Illness ='''

Nine-tenths of the danger in There are three reasons. First, an illness comes from fearexcessive concern about one's security. Fear can give the apparent symptoms of Next, what one does not know always gives an illness; and it can give uneasy feeling which is translated in the illness too,—its effects can go so far as that. <ref>http://incarnatewordconsciousness by fear.in/cwm/03/16-june-1929#p17</ref> Refusing the illnessAnd above all,completely trusting one doesn't have the Divine while infusing oneself with habit of a confidence spontaneous trust in the Divine Grace and busying yourself with something else can  completely eliminate the fear in the cells of the body and help one not catch even contagious diseases. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/0704/1114-maymarch-19551951#p13p30</ref>Fear and Death

One We like, love, welcome, hope for, joy in whatever our nature, the first habit of our being, or else a formed (often perverse) habit, the most subtle fear is second nature of our being, presents to the mind as pleasant, priyam; we hate, dislike, fear , have repulsion from or grief of death which comes from  the concern for self-preservation so whatever it presents to us as to ensure unpleasant, apriyam. This habit of the emotional nature gets into the way of the intelligent will and makes it often a helpless slave of the continuity emotional being or at least prevents it from exercising a free judgment and government of consciousness, fearing the unknownnature. THowever, this fear This deformation has to be corrected. By getting rid of death is desire in the physical cells selves which is beyond reason psychic prana and almost unconscious. Thusits intermiscence in the emotional mind, it is we facilitate the most difficult to uprootcorrection. <ref> http://incarnateword. in/cwsa/24/purification-the-lower-mentality#p7</ref>

The fear of death is not just restricted to In the death large majority of the physicalmen, but also the death of body receives its inspirations from the egosubconscient, it is under the death of a past version influence of one’s self, the fear of letting gosubconscient. When one does not have All the fears driven out from the courage to liveactive consciousness go and take refuge there and then, naturally, it is often because something within oneself has to die for something new they have to be born. It is then one should have that '''courage''', the true '''courage''' to abolish chased out from the egosubconscient and uprooted from there. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/1504/2214-novembermarch-19581951#p7p27</ref>

= Fear and Religion How to Overcome Fears?=

The '''fear''' Fear can be overcome by vigilance, courage, calmness, attitude of surrender and wideness of consciousness. If you remain vigilant, then with the increase of the Force upholding you, a power of self-control will come, a power to see and reject the Gods wrong turn or the wrong reaction when it comes. Fear and unhappiness will not give you that. It is only by this vigilance accompanied by an opening to the beginning of religionsupporting and guiding Force that it will come. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/2431/the-motives-of-devotionfear#p3p12</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 is In order to set out on these paths without fear and without any danger, one must have organised his being with the total absence help of fear in any form. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/agenda/10/december-17-1969</ref> True couragereason around the highest centre he consciously possesses, and organised it in its deepest sense, such a way that it is to be able to face everything, everything inwardly in life, from the smallest things his control and he has not to the greatestsay at every moment, from material things to things of the spirit, without a shudder"Ah! I have done this, without physically …I don't know why.without the heart beginning Ah! That's happened to beat fasterme, without the nerves tremblingI don't know why"—and always it is "I don't know, without the slightest emotion in any part of the being. Face everything with a constant awareness of the Divine PresenceI don't know, a total self-giving to the DivineI don't know", and the whole being unified in this will; then you can go forward in life and face anything whatever. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/07/26-january-1955</ref> When the vital as long as it is entirely surrendered to like that, the divine it path is full of courage, enthusiasmsomewhat dangerous. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/07/925-februarymay-1955#p36p55</ref>

Everyone possesses two opposite tendencies And the truth is that if instead of characterbeing shut up in the narrow limits of their little person, they could so widen their consciousness as to be able not only to identify themselves with others in almost equal proportionstheir narrow limits, which are like but to come out of these limits, pass beyond, spread out everywhere, unite with the light one Consciousness and become all things, then, at that moment the shadow of the same thingnarrow limits will vanish, but not before. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/0605/319-februaryaugust-19541953#p15p27</ref> Thus, when one has fear, one also has courage. And to get over this impurity of fear one has the resources in the form of courage, tapas and surrender.

Fear Another effective method is for those who have faith in a hidden consentGod, their God, and who have given themselves to him. When one is afraid They belong to him integrally; all the events of their lives are an expression of somethingthe divine will and they accept them not merely with calm submission but with gratitude, it means for they are convinced that you admit its possibility and thus strengthen its handwhatever happens to them is always for their own good. It can be said that it is They have a subconscient consent. Fear can be overcome mystic trust in their God and in many waystheir personal relationship with him. The ways They have made an absolute surrender of courage, reason, faith, knowledgetheir will to his and feel his unvarying love and protection, wholly independent of the accidents of life and death. They have the constant experience of lying at the feet of their Beloved in an absolute self-surrender are some or of thembeing cradled in his arms and enjoying a perfect security. There is no longer any room in their consciousness for fear, anxiety or torment; all that has been replaced by a calm and delightful bliss. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/1412/the-fear-of-death-and-the-four-methods-of-conquering-it#p47p3</ref>  '''Content curated by Suhani Tanna'''However, there is a way to be free from fear: it is to have faith in the Divine Grace and to rely on It to protect you in all circumstances.
