Fear

 

It is important is to look at the content of our consciousness, which is mostly fears.

 Fear of old age, fear of death, fear of loneliness, fear of anxiety, fear which breeds hate, fear of not arriving, not achieving, not fulfilling, not reaching, the fear of tomorrow, fear of time.

When there is fear, at that very moment is there recognition as fear at the moment it is taking place or is it a reaction of many underlying factors.

 The memory of other incidents of fear has been held in the brain and the moment that reaction which takes place, the memory says "That is fear", so there is always the memory operating on the present.

 Time is the root of all fear, the psychological time and the remembrance of that projecting into the present being modifying the future. 

Time implies space, in the movement of time, and fear is a movement in space and time which is thought.

You can't escape from a fact, it is always there, and if one gives complete attention to the fact, the fact is no more psychologically.

So the content of our consciousness is the movement of thought, time and space. Thought has created different forms of power in the self, but they are all very limited when overshadowed by procrastinations.

The freedom from this limitation is an astonishing sense of power, which is the pattern of our true clear consciousness.

The polluted mind that takes forms of pretense is the poison, whereas with compassion comes intelligence. The part of our indolence is the part of poor habits that struggles to see the clear picture.

We either blame it on the environment, on society, on our parents, on past hereditary, it is genetic - some excuse but never apply it.

Fear is the image about oneself and that is a fact.

As long as one has an image about oneself, one is going to get hurt.

As long as one has an image of any kind of somebody, it is going to put a pin into it.

 Fear is the main source of superstitions and the false; one need to conquer the fear and that beginning of wisdom will put freedom in its place.
