[[File'''Vital Fear'''The fear is again that of the 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:FandC 10//incarnateword.png|center|1000px]]in/cwsa/31/desire#p56</ref>

= Understanding Fear stems from a sense of inferiority. <ref> http://incarnateword.in/cwm/12/students#p35</ref> A vast majority of men like to live in a limited sphere bound to their littleness and falsehood. They fear =freedom and light.

Fear, desire and sorrow There 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 deeply rooted in the unconscious and comes from the forces of ignorance of the lower nature. 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> It is in the vital that the fear is felt and if one is sensitive, then they feel the fear in the environment and their vital latches onto it. It comes from a disharmony between the vital vibrations. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/10-march-1954#p24</ref>Fear is a barrier on the path of yoga as it hinders the closeness between the human soul and the divinethree reasons. <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 as a means of dominating living beingsFirst, 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://incarnatewordexcessive concern about one's security.in/cwsa/24/the-instruments-of-the-spirit#p8</ref>Causes of fearAttachmentNext, desire, need for attention, trying to please and cravings come from the narrow limits  of the consciousness. These when they go unfulfilled what one does not know always gives rise to grief. Grief in turn gives rise to fear. The world is full of things that are unpleasant and one of the reactions to those unpleasant things an uneasy feeling which is fear. <ref>http://incarnateword.translated 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 of fearFear is manifested in different parts of selves i.e. physical fear, mental fear and vital fear. In majority of the people, physical is governed by the subconscious and fears that are driven out 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 conscious. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/10-march-1954#p24</ref> The fear in And above all, one doesn't have the physical is in the sheer cells habit of the body and thus the body trembles with just a slight quivering. <ref>http://incarnateword.spontaneous trust in/cwm/07/11-may-1955#p14</ref>When one indulges in unhealthy imagination, they give form to fears on the mental plane, thus causing mental fearDivine. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/0304/power14-ofmarch-imagination1951#p1p30</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 Fear =One needs to put sincere effort and discipline We like, love, welcome, hope for, joy in overcoming physical fear. To put effort one needs to be courageous in not thinking about the object of fearwhatever our nature, because when one fears and constantly imagines the object first habit of fearour being, 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 consciousnessor else a formed (often perverse) habit, by educating it and opening to the divine light one can let go second nature of all grief and fear. If one truly believes in the Divineour being, surrenders presents to the Divinemind as pleasant, and opens one’s self to its protection and lightpriyam; we hate, putting away one's own egodislike, 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 have repulsion from or grief of whatever it presents to grip it hard and pull it outus as unpleasant, which hurts apriyam. This habit of the surface emotional nature, but if one can have gets into the way of the courage intelligent will and focus on one’s light, makes it often a helpless slave of the emotional being or at least prevents it is possiblefrom exercising a free judgment and government of the nature. One needs This deformation has to be vigilant and not allow it to come back. <ref>http://incarnatewordcorrected.By getting rid of desire in/cwm/05/10-june-1953#p8</ref>Progress can be really slow but through courage and faith one can fight the adverse forces psychic prana and expand the consciousness.When one lacks the trust its intermiscence in the divineemotional mind, 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 surrenderwe facilitate the correction. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwmcwsa/0324/14purification-the-aprillower-1929mentality#p4p7</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.

= '''Physical Fear and Illness ='''

Nine-tenths In the large majority of men, the danger in an illness comes body receives its inspirations from fear. Fear can give the apparent symptoms subconscient, it is under the influence of an illness; and it can give the illness too,—its effects can go so far as thatsubconscient. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/03/16-june-1929#p17</ref> Refusing All the illness,completely trusting fears driven out from the Divine while infusing oneself with a confidence in the Divine Grace active consciousness go and take refuge there and busying yourself with something else can  completely eliminate the fear in the cells of then, naturally, they have to be chased out from the body subconscient and help one not catch even contagious diseasesuprooted from there. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/0704/1114-maymarch-19551951#p13p27</ref>Fear and Death

One of the most subtle fear is the fear of death which comes from  the concern for self-preservation so as =How to ensure the continuity of consciousness, fearing the unknown. THowever, this fear of death is in the physical cells selves which is beyond reason and almost unconscious. Thus, it is the most difficult to uproot. Overcome Fears?=

This fear goes against the fundamental notion that  life is One and immortal. The forms are countlessFear can be overcome by vigilance, courage, calmness, fleeting attitude of surrender and brittle. This understanding can help us overcome fear wideness of deathconsciousness.  Thus reason can be usedIf you remain vigilant, another method is that then with the increase of inner seeking i.e. searching the immortal light Force upholding you, a power of psychic consciousness which is in all self-control will come, a power to see and identifying with reject the wrong turn or the wrong reaction when itcomes. Fear and unhappiness will not give you that.  Complete surrender It is only by this vigilance accompanied by an opening to the Divine, supporting and believing guiding Force that all of us belong to Him integrallyit will come. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwmcwsa/1231/the-fear-of-death-and-the-four-methods-of-conquering-it#p5p12</ref>

The fear of death is not just restricted to the death One of the physical, but also the death of the ego, the death of a past version of one’s self, the great remedies for conquering fear of letting go. When one does not have the courage to live, it is often because something within oneself has to die for something new to be bornface boldly what one fears. It is then one should have that '''courage''', the true '''courage''' You are put face to abolish face with the egodanger you fear and you fear it no longer. The fear disappears. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/1506/2210-novembermarch-19581954#p7p22</ref>

= Fear In order to set out on these paths without fear and Religion =without any danger, one must have organised his being with the help of reason around the highest centre he consciously possesses, and organised it in such a way that it is inwardly in his control and he has not to say at every moment, "Ah! I have done this, I don't know why. Ah! That's happened to me, I don't 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 path is somewhat dangerous.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/07/25-may-1955#p55</ref>

The '''fear''' of way to attain to this perfect consciousness is to increase your actual consciousness beyond its present grooves and limits, to educate it, to open it to the Divine Light and to let the Gods is Divine Light work in it fully and freely. But the beginning Light can do its full and unhindered work only when you have got rid of religionall 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/2431/the-motives-of-devotionfear#p3p14</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 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.
