Tips for overcoming your fear
- accept it
He is wrong who believes he can overcome his fears by denying them. Anyone who thinks of confronting them in order to end them is also wrong. In both cases there is only the permanence of fear. It is a creation perpetuated in the realm of emotions, so its dissipation naturally does not happen by itself. In the same way, confronting him is feeding him, because that's what he lives for.
There is something that supports all matter and everything that comes from it. It is a constant flow, like the current of a river. When this flow is blocked, the nature of existence itself is said to be distorted. Blessed are those who understand him and follow him in harmony and peace. When this is learned, man becomes master of his life, for he is no longer against nature.
Therefore, he understands that to overcome fear it is necessary to accept it, because being his own offspring, to deny him or to confront him is to hurt his own child. Fear exists and will continue to exist unless you educate it and turn it into something better. Thus, recognizing it as existent is the first step to properly instructing it, putting it back in favor of the Dharma, of the flow of Creation.
- Get to Know You Deeply
It was said that in the ancient art of war, the main task of the strategist was to know the enemy so that he could defeat him. Here there is no war, there is no struggle, there is no conflict. However, even in a peaceful attitude, it is still necessary to know who one wants to instruct. “Overcoming Fear” is just an allegory. In fact, what is intended is to purify it, transforming it into something else.
Knowing him is not just in the realm of superficiality, but in all the nuances in which he acts and for what reasons he does so. It is necessary to demystify it, to unravel it in order to understand it in a profound way. Being part of you, being your offspring, the least that is asked of you by the naturalness of the situation is that you get to know your child.
Know why it arises, why it is always lurking, why you have not yet been able to overcome it. Know him as yourself.
- Unravel Your Origin
Everything that is of matter, everything that is limited has an origin. The manifestation itself has an origin. Therefore, to instruct your fear in order to sublimate it, it is necessary to go deep and discover its origin. At some point fear was created. At the moment of your birth, your unconsciousness allowed this child to become the mistress of its creator, you. Go back in time and try to find the exact moment when the fear arose.
This will open your eyes to a new perspective, that of the distant observer. In this way, you will understand how foolish you were to accept the coming of this creation into your life, since the reasons, now in distant eyes, are puerile and, who knows, foolish.
To understand the origin of fear is to know the exact point where the feeling of truth, of non-fear, ceased to exist. And bringing back, or reviving, such a truth, such a feeling becomes much simpler when we know exactly what it is about.
- Understand Your Implications
Fear has several implications that can only be understood when there is full acceptance of it and full knowledge of its personality and origin. Soon, after being aware of what fear is and where it came from, you will be able to look hard and attentively at all the side effects that come from it.
Understanding these implications brings you back to reason, since now, aware of what is happening, you can understand that nothing that stems from fear should be present in your life. Paranoia, anxiety, irritation, seclusion, tiredness, ignorance are all implications of fear. Identifying them is only possible through the three stages mentioned above.
Therefore, it is quite evident that there is no benefit for fear to remain installed in your life. This realization is not superficial or mental, but profound. Here you are ready to sublimate it.
- positive it
Once you are fully aware that fear has no reason to be in your life, the next step is absurdly simple. It's about looking him deeply in the eyes and truly loving him. This is only possible after accepting it and understanding it in all its variants, because you realize how fragile it is, just like you were.
Naturally, silently, it will completely fade away. When noticing itself without any reason to exist, it tends to dissipate, as it can only exist as fear. By transforming into courage, it is no longer what it used to be. It is said that he went to sublimate it. Having no more reason to exist and still receiving love from its creator, fear turns into its counterpart. This then is loving detachment.
Therefore, in a natural, silent and peaceful way, fear disappears and will never be born again, since each fear is an individual and unique being. Whoever learns to transform his fears, desires, yearnings, sorrows, and angers into their counterparts, becomes his own master. This is inner alchemy.
