(OP) User ID: 29097718 United States 07/11/2013 11:46 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don´t fear what most people fear, not death or anything like that. But I´m confronted with my fears again these days. Quoting: A r c t u r u s I´m just trying to confront myself with it now, trying to dive deep into the roots of it. That´s the only way I think. So what do you fear these days? What are you trying to overcome? If you are willing to share. Forgotten: Reach me at [email protected] |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 43149883 United States 07/11/2013 12:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I no longer fear death, most likely due to advancing age. Here's a great movie on that subject [link to www.imdb.com] now I only fear doing harm to others inadvertently (which is why I dropped out of mainstream America) |

Combination of dealing with a loved ones depression (which I tried to cure and realized I personally can not) and the need to let go. Sometimes situations that seem hopeless provide you with epiphany you must let go of trying to control the situation and be the observer looking down. |

But it´s also a bit complicated, I´m still trying to figure this out. The thing is, this kind of fear appeared one day, when I was at that "point of no fear". It was like fear had some kind of backup-plan and it noticed "Oh, shit he has no fear anymore, gotta do something". There will come a time when you believe everything ends. This will be the beginning [Louis L'Amour] ~ A r c t u r u s |

The moment so trans-formative that you lose all sense of fear. Quoting: Forgotten Fear of death Fear of others Fear of this Fear of that Every fear gone. How many GLP members are at this point? Anyone care to share what event was your breakthrough? You don't want to lose the gift of fear. It can be overwhelming if uncontrolled but it is an important sense. Don't wish to lose your senses. |

I can sense "danger" just fine. But there is no reason to "fear" it. Forgotten: Reach me at [email protected] |

Hey Brother, fears spring from the mortal animal side inside (the total sum of the three bodies of man physical/astral/mental) one needs to go through what is called the Mystical Death to let behind all Fears. not in the sense that one will become a fearless nut, but in the case that fear will not determine one's actions anymore. For the Soul to take the Seat of the Driver, it is necessary that the ego/'I' experience a full fledged death, in all three bodies only then, when the mortal side succumbs and accepts its own death, the Soul can Shine in all Magnificence [link to gnosticteachings.org] :rackam1: |

When your energy extends well past your skin. And your soul even farther (no limit). yes, so true. I forgot where I heard it, but they were comparing people to cells in that the skin (what separates us outside from in) is not where the person ends. look at a cell, and the cell membrane will separate it from the outside world but it's still part of the same human. don't know if that makes sense (I'm sure I'm not doing the video justice) but essentially, that's where the problem is, the illusion of separation.

It's so pointless to live in constant fear. Especially of the things we can't change. Quoting: Ataraxia Easier said then done, most "fears" are irrational and we know this CONSCIOUSLY, but our subconscious mind still reacts. Only when we tap into the subconscious mind can we determine where our irrational fears stem from and correct them. |

That task is often extremely difficult, but it's more than worth every ounce of effort. A lot of the subconscious places some of my fears were rooted from were surprising, but once you can pinpoint that cause, it gets easier. |
