No Fear - an enlightening discussion
Hi Everyone. The following channel was brought through back in Dec 2008. At the time it was a challenging concept, yet now in 2011, I marvel at how much this notion has evolved in my and Susies lives. The fluid, pliable nature of fear and the positive transformational effects it can have on our experience has astounded us recently. That I could ever see it as an ally, rather than something to be avoided is testament to Virgil's course and teachings. Truly in allowing your feelings to emerge (even the fear), owning them, responding with love rather than attack, I believe is at the foundation of creating a positive death/rebirth experience, something we all encounter to varying degress throughout our entire life. Remember though, that fear is easily masked, but will always be at the heart of all of your judgement, projection and especially attack. Learning to work with the feeling of your life is still the most liberating concept of all, but it must include allowing the full polarity of expression. I know this concept will be a major aspect of our future writings/books and is directly linked to manifestation. Stay tuned and if you want to be involved in the channeling of the next book, please post questions by email or on facebook. We love the idea of collective collaboration and will acknowledge any contribution. As always, Susie is asking the questions here and appears in italics. Love always, Sally
The notion of “no fear” is an extraordinary one to me Intellectually I can see the truth in the statement and I know as a concept if you like, that fear does not exist. How can I though, feel and know this to be true? I don’t want to attract to myself “all that I fear” to explore this.
Fear is the ultimate 'unreality'. It seems real only due to your identification with the physical environment as the Source or totality of your life as opposed to an expression of it. Fear, like love, cannot be confined to a specific physical expression, therefore, to attract “all that I fear” physically in an effort to eliminate it, is pointless. Childbirth is a physical act, yet contains both fear and love does it not? Which polarity you experience is sourced from the inner self, translated to physical terms. It appears the other way round due to your collective ideas about childbirth that you do not question as beliefs but instead accept as fact. So I reiterate, to face all your fears physically is an empty goal for every conceivable physical act, response, or experience contains the seeds of the polarity of love and fear, so if you believe in fear, you will see it within all experience, period. So to this end, the only way to achieve the state of beingness you seek is via an acknowledgement of the polarity as it emerges from within the self first, and then respond accordingly.
OK So every situation we encounter has the potential to be either side of the coin…fear or love, dependent on what we believe. When we find ourselves responding in fear, we then deduce that our belief systems need exploring, knowing it is not about the situation as such, but instead what we believe?
Yes, yet many remain hypnotised by the physical events themselves. To work from the outside in, that is to live your life avoiding, or attempting to eliminate physical representations of your inner fear from your life as if they are the source of it, absolutely ensures that they will manifest elsewhere. Further, to focus and attempt to 'overcome' fear in that manner could very easily perpetuate it rather than eliminate it. The fear you bare witness to validates it’s reality, irrespective of the rational or irrational judgements you overlay the circumstance with, in an attempt to feel better or safer. Know that all fear stems from the same source, and that is the failure to connect with the eternal self, coupled with identification with ego consciousness.
Aaaah I see. This is how we can fear nothing…there is no situation which is actually or necessarily fearful, instead it is merely our perception based on our beliefs.
Indeed. There are a few blanket beliefs that give rise to fear which is then manifested on different levels and in endless physical form. In the now moment of confronting events, you probably would not readily recognise most events as connected to these common blanket beliefs. You should begin now to consider, based on your life's circumstances, which of these blanket, invisible beliefs you hold. Firstly a fear that others can harm me, this equates to powerlessness, as though we are not creators of our own reality. Secondly a fear that I will die. This equates to identification with ego and body consciousness as who you are, rather than the cloak you are wearing. Thirdly, bad things will happen to those I love and I will not cope. This equates to being unable to separate yourself from others and acts as a placebo of responsibility where you feel it for others and avoid it in relation to self.
Well, I would say off the top of my head, that I identify with aspects of all these fears….not one in particular.
Yes. Many will agree with you. All these beliefs have at their source of course, a lack of connection to your true self and each of them contribute to the collective denial of death as a natural part of life. This denial in turn gives rise to many of your global ills, particularly though the proliferation of so many terminal illnesses that slowly and sometimes painfully decay the body. The reality of the life/death cycle, coupled with your complete denial of it, polarises the energy and the transition to death becomes arduous as a result. It need not be the case. Death is as natural a transition as childhood to adulthood and no matter what you choose to believe, or how deep you bury your fears, it will be something that you will all need to allow.
You will only overcome fear from the inside out. You will only overcome fear when you master spirit over ego, open to the cycle of reincarnation and learn detachment from others. Everything you fear, no matter whether the trigger is as far from your daily reality as an earthquake, or a close as a child, ultimately is driven out because it affects YOU. This is your starting point, the I AMNESS within and where it is trying to take you. It may feel like it is taking you to a point of selfishness but know this is merely the warped notions of ego attempting to interpret profound wisdom. It is far more selfish to attach yourself to others. It saps their energy and slows their progress too.
You merely need to connect energetically to the inner self that is always present. For too long you have seen Spirit as accessible only in quiet times of self reflection but this is not the case for many of you in this day and age. The Soul is present even now as you read these words, but you are so accustomed to learning through physical symbols that you often ignore its presence within your feeling heart. You right now know that the information you are receiving is not conveyed by the actual computer. Further, you understand that the information is not an aspect of the words you read, that instead the words are merely a group of letters that are symbols representing an agreed meaning. You make this distinction effortlessly, without thinking, and without even considering where the true Source of the message exists, if not in the physical words, then where?
The concept of symbols for language to convey information is easy for you to grasp; they are, after all, inanimate objects of your own making. Yet at a molecular level, all things present on this planet are alive, ever moving in a vast expression of cooperation and change, no matter how stable it may appear to your physical senses. To this end, all aspects of physical life are symbols conveying a message, information, and an idea. Many of you have begun to seek meaning beyond the physical objects yet you still fail to adopt this principle to the larger more animated symbols that come into your life. This sets you apart from creation, from the natural order of learning and development that you yourself set down. The true meaning of objects and events in your life is no more within the objects themselves than the information I convey is contained within the letters or words the channel types.
It’s incredible how much more meaning we give to the living and breathing symbols in our life. I have not considered it to be any other way.
Your mother is NOT your mother in any other manner but symbolically, to convey learning and transmit information. Your children are symbols of your role as parent, but they are not children, any more than you are parent. The roles these symbols create in your life do have significant meaning and drive you to new levels of awareness in the same ways I hope these words do. But you box the roles of those you love in a way that you do not do, to even words in your normal ego awareness. This means you have the skill to break down these old habits, but only if you are sufficiently conscious to allow it. Do you understand this?
Yes I understand this intellectually but these are concepts I will need to explore further in feeling. I have no doubt though, that situations will arise over the coming weeks to allow me to explore these notions within myself.
Now, to return to our original point. Soul is present right now. It does read this with you, but beyond the symbols and directly to meaning. Your Soul’s presence here is why the message will ground in your life over days as it blends in with the ego thoughts and alters them, as well as creates little physical symbols by way of events which invariably give meaning to the word symbols in the reality in which you pay most attention. So there is nothing much to do except begin to experience your world like you do the words on this page. Give them no more credence than the physical symbols they represent and begin to see them energetically. Your children, your parents, all will take on new meaning.
Thank you so much Sarsha......it has been fantastic talking with you.
