| and wrong emotions, feelings, reactions, drives, needs, expressions. Fear of being comprises all of this. And as | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |

| Therefore you cannot overcome it. For beyond this fear lies the greatest threshold of evolution to which | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |

| difficult to overcome because you often do not fear your real darker side, but what you believe | 127 EVOLUTION'S FOUR STAGES: AUTOMATIC REFLEXES, AWARENESS, UNDERSTANDING, KNOWING |

| what you truly want. How often do you fear you may not succeed in a venture, passively | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |
| hopes, all based on false premises. You even fear yourself, your own unconscious mind -- as though | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |

| The truth is that there is nothing to fear, there is no suffering. You may arrive at | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |
| suffering, and you may succeed in shedding the fear. Or you may arrive at the same conclusion | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |
| same conclusion by having to go through the fear in order to find out that it was | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |
| the wall of apparent suffering, or annihilation and fear, stands the spiritual reality of eternal, unchanging bliss | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |
| to acquire a truthful concept about her frantic fear. Then the blocks will disappear, the way will | 128 LIMITATIONS CREATED THROUGH ILLUSORY ALTERNATIVES |

| often and on a deeper level, on people's fear of happiness, fulfillment, and fullness of living. In | 129 WINNER VERSUS LOSER: INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE SELF AND CREATIVE FORCES |

| ask why you should fear happiness. You may fear the abandonment to it, or that bliss will | 129 WINNER VERSUS LOSER: INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE SELF AND CREATIVE FORCES |
| make you lose control of yourself. You may fear the obligation accruing from it. Or, you may | 129 WINNER VERSUS LOSER: INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE SELF AND CREATIVE FORCES |

| You must understand the extent of such a fear more profoundly, with all its consequences. Committing and | 129 WINNER VERSUS LOSER: INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE SELF AND CREATIVE FORCES |
| does not work that way, my friends. You fear a wholehearted commitment, because you falsely believe that | 129 WINNER VERSUS LOSER: INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE SELF AND CREATIVE FORCES |

| unifies them? The key is the element of fear. If you want happiness because you fear unhappiness | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| of fear. If you want happiness because you fear unhappiness, happiness remains unreachable. If you want happiness | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| for its own sake, and not because you fear its absence, nothing will block its attainment. And | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| an enormous difference. As long as you have fear, it is sometimes inevitable that you experience what | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| is sometimes inevitable that you experience what you fear in order to lose the fear. If fear | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| what you fear in order to lose the fear. If fear can be shed by realizing the | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| fear in order to lose the fear. If fear can be shed by realizing the truth that | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| the truth that there is no reason to fear, then it is not necessary to experience it | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| as you want the positive mainly because you fear the negative, your fear barricades the way to | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| positive mainly because you fear the negative, your fear barricades the way to the positive. The planet | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| the positive not for itself but for the fear of its negative opposite. Let us examine a | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| said that the person who fears life must fear death, and vice versa. It is impossible to | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| she fears death. The more people shrink in fear from death, the more they cling to life | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| Such people really do not live at all. Fear of death and dying prohibits one from living | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| If one clings to life because of the fear of death, life will not be meaningful, nor | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| Since hardly anyone is completely free of the fear of death -- otherwise they would not be | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| lives. But some are relatively free from this fear and therefore live meaningful and pleasurable lives. Since | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| is no longer a frightening experience. When the fear of dying is overcome, life eternal is possible | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| goal. But as long as there is a fear of losing control, the individual must learn the | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| go eventually results in full mastery without the fear of losing it, for the person now knows | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| person now knows that there is nothing to fear. Human beings are not yet capable of immediate | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| limitations by sheer outer will that comes from fear, must make the situation worse. Acceptance of one's | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| refuses to relinquish control, it is out of fear and distrust. Thus that which is most benign | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| recapture them. If you desire pleasure because you fear pain or the absence of pleasure, the door | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| not an abyss of darkness to shrink from, fear will no longer prohibit your fulfillment. Every aspect | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| of fearing sickness, you prevent health. If you fear the aging process, you prevent eternal youth. If | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| aging process, you prevent eternal youth. If you fear poverty, you prevent abundance. If you fear loneliness | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| you fear poverty, you prevent abundance. If you fear loneliness, you prevent real companionship. If you fear | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| fear loneliness, you prevent real companionship. If you fear companionship, you prevent self-containment. So it goes on | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| goes on and on. The great enemy is fear, and the best way to meet and conquer | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| admit, and articulate it. This approach will diminish fear to a considerable degree and open the way | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| thinking and intentions. However, if you struggle against fear out of fear of fear, this will be | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| However, if you struggle against fear out of fear of fear, this will be difficult. Therefore, the | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| you struggle against fear out of fear of fear, this will be difficult. Therefore, the calm admission | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| in the human soul are pride, selfwill, and fear. The more the soul is unified, the more | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| are easily overcome when there is no more fear. If you are not afraid to have your | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| influence, you will have no need for selfwill. Fear is the great locked door which prohibits you | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| into all that is immediately available the moment fear is uprooted from your heart and soul. This | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| path here is all about: the discovery that fear is unnecessary. When you hear the admonition that | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| of danger, pain, and hardship. This is why fear increases, and so does tense reluctance and stubbornness | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| with the truth that there is nothing to fear, the human personality suddenly comes to a point | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| a question of having to go through the fear in order to rise above it. Then one | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| desires is immediately available when one has overcome fear. When you realize this truth, it is the | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| has to learn that there is nothing to fear. It does so through being involved in a | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| of the truth that there is nothing to fear be broken through. The self must discover the | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| the important fact that the main element of fear is not a particular undesirable factor or event | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| quality about it. Now, it is possible to fear something one already has experienced, either consciously or | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| But while experiencing something in a state of fear, all faculties and perceptions become dulled. The truth | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| is not fully registered, assimilated, or perceived. The fear blurs one's view and one's capacity to evaluate | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| many repetitions until it can rid itself of fear, particularly in the experience of dying. Let me | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| the material body, this mass image produces such fear that the person is too anxious to be | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| dying, but meets an unknown element, and the fear of it half-anesthetizes the act of perception. Hence | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| on a free state of mind, uncluttered by fear, prejudice, and misconceptions. The little the soul does | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| truth can be experienced in full consciousness, and fear barricades such a full experience. With each repetition | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| slowly but surely, the soul rids itself of fear and becomes relaxed about the transition -- as | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| to without qualms. Dying is produced by the fear of it. It becomes superfluous and ceases to | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| superfluous and ceases to take place when the fear of it vanishes. The same principle applies to | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| applies to many other aspects of living. Wherever fear exists, it produces the circumstances one fears. These | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| only way to convince the self that the fear is unnecessary. The more an event is known | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| feared. Although a vicious circle exists in which fear dulls the senses, every vicious circle can be | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| the time being and yet simultaneously accept the fear. Where there is uncertainty about what the future | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| about what the future will bring, there is fear. Nothing one truly knows, even the greatest difficulties | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| psyche to positive experience, without a trace of fear of the negative, then the unknown must become | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| of the soul. QUESTION: Are only those who fear death incarnated in this sphere? ANSWER: That is | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| a person is afraid of dying, that fundamental fear leads to other soul conditions and is connected | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| misconceptions and erroneous imprints in the soul. When fear constricts the soul, the human being is incapable | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| a bitter taste. Negative experience courted out of fear and error is much harder to bear than | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| work on this path to find where you fear the negative and therefore grab for the positive | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| positive alternative. When you find the areas of fear, and see how you want the positive for | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| an extended awareness to notice the existence of fear, and to be aware of the fine differentiation | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| general aims, but your specific desires, with the fear of their opposites, have to be ascertained in | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| my friends. Even before you can shed the fear itself, ascertaining it and knowing what it means | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| Don't overlook either that the presence of a fear of the negative does not necessarily annul a | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| motivation. Once you put your finger on the fear, you can directly treat it in your meditations | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| want freedom not for itself, but because I fear to be imprisoned, will bring liberation a great | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| realize that you cannot be free because you fear unfreedom, in that realization greater freedom is yours | 130 FINDING TRUE ABUNDANCE BY GOING THROUGH YOUR FEAR |
| dwells inside, for overcoming resistance and the unreal fear to do so -- means using impression in | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| I have a feeling that I have a fear of self- responsibility. Is that true? ANSWER: Yes | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| you very correctly surmise, there is a great fear of self-responsibility. The fear is, of course, completely | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| there is a great fear of self-responsibility. The fear is, of course, completely unjustified. It may help | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| would somehow mean to be wrongly proud. You fear that the mere consideration of such a possibility | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| powers within might mean gross overvaluation. This you fear. In order to be a good, obedient child | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| is based on a wrong conclusion. You inordinately fear something that has no existence. Nothing true needs | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| is so liberating, that there is nothing to fear, that fear and unhappiness are error. Be in | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| liberating, that there is nothing to fear, that fear and unhappiness are error. Be in God! 132 | 131 INTERACTION BETWEEN EXPRESSION AND IMPRESSION |
| and experience your real self, you will not fear and consequently overemphasize your ego faculties. Nor will | 132 THE FUNCTION OF THE EGO IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE REAL SELF |
| is where my ego is overdeveloped. Where I fear self-responsibility, that is where my ego is underdeveloped | 132 THE FUNCTION OF THE EGO IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE REAL SELF |
| time, on an equally deep inner level, you fear the consequences of this weakness and dependency. Therefore | 132 THE FUNCTION OF THE EGO IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE REAL SELF |
| giving up and letting go. The weakness creates fear, and fear generates distrust. Therefore you cannot let | 132 THE FUNCTION OF THE EGO IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE REAL SELF |
| and letting go. The weakness creates fear, and fear generates distrust. Therefore you cannot let go and | 132 THE FUNCTION OF THE EGO IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE REAL SELF |
| Yes. It is self-punishment, at the same time fear of punishment, and also fear of and resistance | 132 THE FUNCTION OF THE EGO IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE REAL SELF |
| the same time fear of punishment, and also fear of and resistance to giving up what causes | 132 THE FUNCTION OF THE EGO IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE REAL SELF |
| relationships because in love's presence there is no fear, no distrust, no illusion. Love can flower only | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| with a host of negative emotions such as fear, hostility, separateness, self-pity, ambivalence, and vindictiveness. These emotions | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| this foreign body? Not only because of your fear that others will find fault with you and | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| you, but also because of the underlying basic fear that the foreign body may be your ultimate | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| However, you do not know this. You think, fear, and suspect that the foreign substance is the | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| without conflict awaits you. To sum up, you fear taking the vital step so necessary to liberate | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
| seeing that these pretenses are pretenses, because you fear that underneath the pretense there is nothing but | 133 LOVE: NOT A COMMANDMENT, BUT SPONTANEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT OF THE INNER SELF |
