A New Way to Look at Fear

   Ananda shares a different perspective on challenges and the fears they arouse in us...


"And yes, this is a beautiful writing because you recognize it as the truth of what you know you are capable of experiencing. There is a place in your mind that knows this is so, and that your fulfillment is indeed a God given gift that you desire with all your heart.

You know that the way you are living  is a shallow reproduction of the power that dwells inside of you, and yet the fears you bump up against stop you in the bad habits you have of numbing out. They seem impossible to give up, and yet this is what you want, but there seems no way out of the maze of habits and old pattern that you see as who you are. They are not who you are any more than the leaves are the tree. The tree will bloom again next year if it is fed and looked after, receiving clean water, sunlight and the challenge of the storms to strengthen its branches. 

Humans are afraid of the storms, and see them as something to desperately avoid, and yet the challenges and obstacles of your life are a gift from God to show you where you are constricted and afraid. God wants your full realization and strength, and that is why you feel fear at the challenges. There is part of you that does not believe that you are special and beautiful, a strong and infinite being. That is why you came here, to grow out of the limited thinking that is creating the life that does not live up to your dream of what it could be.

 You know this in your bones.

 A new way of looking at fear needs to be adopted. Fear is where you want to go, where you need to go. So feel the fear and know that this is God’s love manifesting for you to overcome the limits of your mind’s past, and will bring you into your full power that wants to express love, beauty and calmness for all to see. 

There are no barriers except those in your own beliefs. No one is your prison guard. You are free to do as you wish, pursue what you wish, but feel the edges and go past them. Not all at once, but nudge them out of your way so that the horizon in front of you is clear and expansive. Then you indeed have free choice.

 Most of you do not have any idea what freedom is, and what to do with it. Your cell is comfortable. You have filled it with cushions and foods you like, a television sits in the corner and beckons to you to leave your narrow existence and enter into its fake world where life seems to be.

 Your life, dear ones, is such a treasure when you have broken through your bonds and begun to explore the fullness that you are, and leave behind the judgements that create the walls of your cell and define edges in you that are not real. You are a boundless powerful being that can transform the world by your gifts and your intense creative energy."

Ananda on Trust.

   Ananda writes about trust as a precursor to love's expression.

"And we are with you again dear one. We are today going to speak about trust and the affect it has on the world you experience.The trust that is required to follow your heart’s urgings is large indeed. For the ego trusts nothing that it sees. and yet sees what it wants to, it trusts nothing that it feels, and is driven by feelings of hatred and fear, it trusts nothing of what you say, and yet it tells lies all the time.

The trust you must develop in the spirit that guides your heart’s feeling is very different from the ego, in this practice of listening to the heart. The ego has been in so much control. Spirit’s expression is much more subtle and it decides for the loving way, the creative way the the adventurous way. The ego is for the opposite of all these things.

 They are the way to expression of the self, which is God in a physical form experiencing its own ideas and thoughts.. Thoughts and ideas that you have imagined, are the journey. It is full of appreciation for experience and when you are not it suffers, and this is what you feel as sadness and pain, the disconnection from Source and its loving nature. The idea is that you will suffer if you give room to hatred. The feeling it has of separation and not wanting to trust what you see between you and your lover is not the trust of spirit. 

And so, the ego must be relinquished to get the best of this situation. The walls of the ego keep love out, and it quakes in fear at its approach. So when you feel fear of love, know that this is the ego and do not listen, but go deeper to that place inside that wants connection, and ask it what it would do. Would it go closer or back off from a loving connection? 

The ego will say run; run or judge This person will hurt you. The spirit will say, let us get to know this dear one, and see. Let’s see is the first step to trusting and learning about another soul you may want to connect with. If there is no trust at all, then more work must be done on your own mind to free up the barriers that are there to love’s presence. This may be through counseling, dancing or meditation, visualizing the cutting of bonds and the freeing up of love inside the mind.

 The barriers are fear, judgment, the past and the future darken your vision. These are all in your control to feed or stop and replace with loving ideas of a God that is on your side. 

To trust is to have faith and love the process of life. Trust is the faith that allows for your own growth, and in the end, the freedom you desire. Freedom to create, freedom to love, freedom to be yourself."
