The fear

Many use religion to place a band aide on their fears, some use psychology to understand and confront them,but few allow awareness to reveal them. It is the identification with mind and fear that can paralyze us. 


When we only know ourselves as mind and thought there is nowhere to run from the pain of fear. It is like a brush fire within the mind that can consume us. Sometimes you think that you can put out the fire, but it pops up again in another place. 

Fear is the product of an ego that cannot control its environment, an ego that cannot hold onto and establish a permanent identity. The ego must chase continually a goal, a plan, a person or a purpose to establish its identity or face the fear of its unworthiness. The revelation of its nothingness. 

Witnessing allows you to observe your fears while awareness reveals the nature of them. It sets aside the mind and ego for an inner observation of the feelings behind them. It is an escape from the fire and a beach upon which we can stand before entering the waters of serenity. Fear is a false idea, hiding in the unconscious, masquerading as a real one.
