What is Fear

How do you feel in this moment?

Do you feel a strong sense of presence?

Can you become conscious that you are conscious and that you are listening to an intrusive voice that you don’t want and you are generating suffering from these negative emotions; you are creating, thinking, compulsions, controlling, complaining, grumbling all made up in the mind. This ego voice chatterbox is generating suffering.

A quote from Nisargadatta’s I am that.

“Want what you have got, don’t want what you have not got”

When you catch yourself criticising or grumbling, change your thoughts to praise, and thankfulness. I have caught myself creating a whole scenario or dream of woe and getting quite depressed about it.

When I was last in Puna in Iyengar’s intensive course 20 years ago, one of the hardest things I have ever done!

Sometimes on this intensive course holding a standing posture for 2 minutes each side. If you flagged a little he would notice straight away and ask “are you in my class or not?”

One of the Iyengar crew fell ill with pernicious anaemia. He was taken to an Ayurvedic hospital and was treated handsomely. At that that time the allopathic and Ayurvedic were offering their services 50/50. The atmosphere was cheerful and the wards were clean, they don’t use drugs all the remedies are natural therefore there is no antibiotic left in your gut, people recover quiet quickly. Given the choice I would rather go to allopathic. It’s available here to.

Our work is to remove the blockage to love as you cannot teach love this is beyond the realms of teaching. We realise that love is what we are. There is only one true emotion and that is love, the others do not exist.

What you give your attention to becomes real and is magnified.

Make it love as fear cannot exist in the presence of love.

When observing the negative let’s reintroduce a challenging event again, this time as you would like it to run. Observe what effect this change of attitude has on the body. Feel the love and relaxation coming back as you change your dream world. Remember you are the author of your dreams. It’s like this. “Mummy Mummy, Mummy, your child cries out in the night in fear and of course you go out to comfort her. She is having a bad dream or nightmare it’s so real to her she is terrified by it and yet she can hear her mothers voice in the dream. She is rocking her child in her arms and comforting her and the nightmare has gone”

It’s the same for us, words of truth can come through the dream state and we wake up out of our imagined day dream. But all gentle and loving. We are in our dreams being gentle brought back into the conscious, the real world. There can be unfortunate circumstances when we are brought back or woken too soon.

Accept what is.

Just behind your idea you are not enough or good enough or in the right place, is the knowledge that you are just as you should be and that at home where you are.
