One of your most basic fears is the fear of death. The fear of death has its 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF
basic fears is the fear of death. The fear of death has its origin in the confusion 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF
the confusion of dualistic thinking and perceiving. The fear itself leads to further confusion. The fear of 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF

overcoming many hurdles and after facing this basic fear on different levels, no matter what you believe 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF
matter what you believe in your mind. This fear can take different forms, but whatever they may 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF
on the level of your conscious or unconscious fear of death. Life cannot be non-life, for it 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF
I am presenting to you here. For your fear stems from being identified with the manifestation that 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF
not manifestation. Therein lies the confusion that creates fear of not being. You need to learn that 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF

over this particular duality again and again. The fear of death, the fear of non-life, has a 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF
again and again. The fear of death, the fear of non-life, has a great deal to do 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF
with it in two apparently opposite ways. If fear of death lurks in your heart, consciously or 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF
brings this threat into focus. It triggers it. Fear of death creates also a fear of movement 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF
triggers it. Fear of death creates also a fear of movement. And that is of course completely 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF
which makes the pain of it unbearable. The fear of your own unforgivingness on the one hand 226 APPROACH TO SELF -- SELF-FORGIVENESS WITHOUT CONDONING THE LOWER SELF

only on the manifest level -- as the fear of movement. Movement toward expansion implies a willingness 230 THE UNIVERSALITY OF CHANGE -- REINCARNATIVE PROCESS IN THE SAME LIFE SPAN
in the human soul, and that is the fear of change. Many of you are quite capable 230 THE UNIVERSALITY OF CHANGE -- REINCARNATIVE PROCESS IN THE SAME LIFE SPAN
you are quite capable of connecting with the fear of change. It is equally important to connect 230 THE UNIVERSALITY OF CHANGE -- REINCARNATIVE PROCESS IN THE SAME LIFE SPAN

stems from this unknown state. In reality, your fear of death is the effect of your belief 230 THE UNIVERSALITY OF CHANGE -- REINCARNATIVE PROCESS IN THE SAME LIFE SPAN
the new consciousness within you that does not fear change, that trusts change as a completely natural 230 THE UNIVERSALITY OF CHANGE -- REINCARNATIVE PROCESS IN THE SAME LIFE SPAN
Imagine a life in which there is no fear of death. How would you live? If you 230 THE UNIVERSALITY OF CHANGE -- REINCARNATIVE PROCESS IN THE SAME LIFE SPAN
a highly developed, conscious, and God-expressing individual, no fear of death would mean unending joy, a fearless 230 THE UNIVERSALITY OF CHANGE -- REINCARNATIVE PROCESS IN THE SAME LIFE SPAN
if you are still half asleep and therefore fear universal life, or expansion into universal life, then 230 THE UNIVERSALITY OF CHANGE -- REINCARNATIVE PROCESS IN THE SAME LIFE SPAN

manifestations. If you stem against it, if you fear its influx and contract against it, it will 230 THE UNIVERSALITY OF CHANGE -- REINCARNATIVE PROCESS IN THE SAME LIFE SPAN

for perfection on the personality level is the fear of inner imperfection, a hidden sense of worthlessness 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE
the world and yourself that the worthlessness you fear and suspect does not exist. Perfection then becomes 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE
The conscious thinking process translates this awareness into fear of death, just as the message of the 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE
perfection is possible reaches the conscious personality as fear of imperfection. The fear of death says, on 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE
the conscious personality as fear of imperfection. The fear of death says, on the deepest level: I 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE

you fear giving up one for the other. Fear of death also implies lack of faith in 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE

awareness from the inner source of this dark fear, then superimposing the truth from outside will not 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE
has nothing to do with pride, self-will or fear. It does not exclude others. It always includes 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE
perfection that is based on pride, comparison, vanity, fear of your own insufficiency. You need to have 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE
to deny your vague unrest, your anxiety or fear of that unknown state by superimposing on them 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE
the greater life. You need to admit your fear, your puzzlement, your state of anxiety, the feeling 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE
far removed from them, and that you do fear the black wall of the unknown which you 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE

through these feelings, in spite of the initial fear to do so, you experience a wonderful new 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE

any feeling surges up again, eventually no residual fear of any feeling or state will remain. It 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE
remain. It is the same with the great fear of the apparently final tunnel. When you embrace 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE
seems to you a black wall that you fear and wish to avoid. Avoiding it prevents your 234 PERFECTION, IMMORTALITY, OMNIPOTENCE
