= What is Fear? =
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 also a terribly contagious collective thing—it is much more contagious than the most contagious of illnesses. You breathe an atmosphere of fear and instantly you feel frightened, without even knowing why or how, nothing, simply because there was an atmosphere of fear. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/05/14-october-1953#p38</ref>
'''Types of Fear'''
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>
'''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://incarnateword.in/cwm/03/19-may-1929#p18</ref>
=Why there '''Vital Fear'''The fear is Fear=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://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/desire#p56</ref>
'''Physical Fear stems from '''It is a sense of inferioritycurious little vibration that gets into your cells and they begin shivering that way. [But the cells are not like a heart beating very fast. It is in the very cells: they tremble with just a slight quivering. And it is very difficult to control this. Yet it can be controlled.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/05/22]-july-1953#p17</ref>
There are three reasons. First, an excessive concern about one's security. Next, what one does not know always gives an uneasy feeling which =Why there is translated in the consciousness by fear. And above all, one doesn't have the habit of a spontaneous trust in the Divine. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/04/14-march-1951#p30</ref>Fear?=
'''Mental Fear'''
Because in the large majority of men, the body receives its inspirations Fear stems from the subconscient, it is under the influence a sense of the subconscient. All the fears driven out from the active consciousness go and take refuge there and then, naturally, they have to be chased out from the subconscient and uprooted from thereinferiority. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/0412/14-march-1951students#p27p35</ref> A vast majority of men like to live in a limited sphere bound to their littleness and falsehood. They fear freedom and light.
= Overcoming '''Vital 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 and Illness =There are three reasons. First, an excessive concern about one's security. Next, what one does not know always gives an uneasy feeling which is translated in the consciousness by fear. And above all, one doesn't have the habit of a spontaneous trust in the Divine.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/04/14-march-1951#p30</ref>
Nine-tenths 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 second nature of our being, presents to the danger in an illness comes mind as pleasant, priyam; we hate, dislike, fear, have repulsion from fearor grief of whatever it presents to us as unpleasant, apriyam. Fear can give This habit of the apparent symptoms emotional nature gets into the way of an illness; the intelligent will and makes it can give often a helpless slave of the illness too,—its effects can go so far as thatemotional being or at least prevents it from exercising a free judgment and government of the nature. <ref>http://incarnatewordThis deformation has to be corrected.in/cwm/03/16-june-1929#p17</ref> Refusing the illness,completely trusting the Divine while infusing oneself with a confidence By getting rid of desire in the Divine Grace psychic prana and busying yourself with something else can  completely eliminate the fear its intermiscence in the cells of emotional mind, we facilitate the body and help one not catch even contagious diseasescorrection. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwmcwsa/0724/11purification-the-maylower-1955mentality#p13p7</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 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. '''Physical Fear'''
This fear goes against In the fundamental notion that  life is One and immortal. The forms are countlesslarge majority of men, fleeting and brittle. This understanding can help us overcome fear of death.  Thus reason can be usedthe body receives its inspirations from the subconscient, another method it is that under the influence of inner seeking ithe subconscient.e. searching All the fears driven out from the immortal light of psychic active consciousness which is in all go and take refuge there and identifying with it.  Complete surrender then, naturally, they have to be chased out from the Divine, subconscient and believing that all of us belong to Him integrallyuprooted from there. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/1204/the14-fearmarch-of-death-and-the-four-methods-of-conquering-it1951#p5p27</ref>
The fear of death is not just restricted =How to the death of the physical, but also the death of the ego, the death of a past version of one’s self, the 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 born. It is then one should have that '''courage''', the true '''courage''' to abolish the ego. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/15/22-november-1958#p7</ref>Overcome Fears?=
= Fear can be overcome by vigilance, courage, calmness, attitude of surrender and Religion =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 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 supporting and guiding Force that it will come. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/fear#p12</ref>
The '''fear''' One of the Gods great remedies for conquering fear is to face boldly what one fears. You are put face to face with the beginning of religiondanger you fear and you fear it no longer. The fear disappears. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsacwm/2406/the-motives10-ofmarch-devotion1954#p3p22</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 =In order to set out on these paths without fear and 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>
Courage The way to attain to this perfect consciousness is the total absence of fear in any form. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/agenda/10/december-17-1969</ref> True courage, in to increase your actual consciousness beyond its deepest sensepresent grooves and limits, is to be able to face everythingeducate it, everything in life, from the smallest things to the greatest, from material things open it to things of the spirit, without a shudder, without physically ….without the heart beginning to beat faster, without the nerves trembling, without the slightest emotion in any part of the being. Face everything with a constant awareness of the Divine Presence, a total self-giving Light and to let the Divine, and the whole being unified Light work in this will; then you can go forward in life it fully and face anything whatever. <ref>http://incarnatewordfreely.in/cwm/07/26-january-1955</ref> When But the vital is entirely surrendered to the divine it is Light can do its full and unhindered work only when you have got rid of courageall craving and fear, when you have no mental prejudices, no vital preferences, enthusiasmno physical apprehensions or attractions to obscure or bind you. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwmcwsa/0731/9-february-1955fear#p36p14</ref>
= Conclusion =And the truth is that if instead of being 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 their narrow limits, but to come out of these 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/cwm/05/19-august-1953#p27</ref>
Everyone possesses two opposite tendencies Another effective method is for those who have faith in a God, their God, and who have given themselves to him. They belong to him integrally; all the events of their lives are an expression of characterthe divine will and they accept them not merely with calm submission but with gratitude, for they are convinced that whatever happens to them is always for their own good. They have a mystic trust in their God and in almost equal proportionstheir personal relationship with him. They have made an absolute surrender of their will to his and feel his unvarying love and protection, which are like wholly independent of the light accidents of life and death. They have the shadow constant experience of lying at the same thingfeet of their Beloved in an absolute self-surrender or of being 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/0612/3the-fear-of-februarydeath-1954and-the-four-methods-of-conquering-it#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 surrenderto rely on It to protect you in all circumstances.
Fear is a hidden consent. When one is afraid of something, it means that 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 ways. The ways of courage, reason, faith, knowledge, surrender are some of them. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/fear#p47</ref>
