Fear is the opposite of Faith. "If you have the faith of a mustard seed you can say to a mountain move and it will move"-Yeshua . Fear is the most important emotion to the Dark entities. It's what separates us from our own spirits and from the Creator and how we are controlled and manipulated. I believe it is what shuts down the third eye. To be afraid of death is natural some say but when a person awakens to ones spirit, death becomes just another process of life. But it's like which came first the chicken or the egg. The only thing that breaks the cycle of fear is to stop in the middle of fear and inject faith, be it thru prayer or just the belief that one is immortal and no matter what there is something after this and as soon as a person truley starts to believe this than the spirit within can begin to blossom and Rule the flesh instead of the flesh ruling and subverting the spirit. I believe that fear of death is not natural but learned from several millenia of being slaves of the flesh and not rulers of these containers. At least thats what God has shown me. God's richest blessings~

Since when does Fear have NO FUNCTION?
Fear is not something to fear; it is a SIGN of danger. Seems to me it's useful, to know when change is needed. Shech-- Last edited by Shechaiyah; 09-26-2008 at 02:13 AM. |

Thank You White Crow, for the post.
I agree, that fear is attachment, a result of ego, identification with things outside of ones self, as if those things complete or improve the individual, and the thought of not having them, causes the fear. Whether it is a physical body or a piece of cheese, attachment to any of it, will ultimately cause fear. Vernon Howard wrote some words long ago that really had resonance for me.. "No Human Being exists at all. I don't, you don't. Labels exist, but no people exist. You have a name, a body, the tone of your voice. You have education, or none.-You are American or British. All of these are attributes, but your attributes are not you. It is because you believe they are you, that you have every grief you have.And I know you don't understand at all.I know that while I am talking to you, that you are not you,you still "think" you are you, you are not. When you understand that all you are is a temporary vehicle for the expression of life, then things become clear to you, and you cease to ask wrong questions because you already have the answer. Life, God, (Energy), the whole expresses itself for a certain period of time through a physical body, then, after a while, when God ceases to express itself through that temporary time body, it ceases to walk around. But at no time did God say you are you-distinct & opposite from the people in the next house. Wholeness, oneness is life without names.Please don't believe names are anything but a temporary convenience. To have a body is only a temporary convenience, which is animated by cosmic energy. When this is withdrawn, "you" don't die, because "you" were never born.A body came into the world, but it wasn't you. Because you were "unenlightened" you thought it was you, and everyone said it was, so you swallowed it all.Cosmic energy came into the world, but it wasn't you. The purpose of this is to withdrawal such false information that you have about yourself that causes fear. You thought your name & experiences were real.Upon the extinction of the energetic animation of your physical body, all that you call yourself disappears, but it was never more than a collection of beliefs your body housed for a while, you don't take it into eternity.There's no way you can ever die, because you were never born. "You " don't die, because there's nothing to go into eternity. Eternity has no birth nor death.The only reason you're afraid is because you've identified with your name & experiences & want them to continue, & you know they wont. The fear of death will vanish, and can only vanish when you remember that you were never born.Understand all of this & you will know who you really are." Circles, CW |

I can't argue with your point, it's a good one. I never said fear has no function. Obviously, it's both a natural and a smart response to certain stimuli. Maybe the word I should have used is dread. Whatever you call it, the kind of fear I'm talking about is the kind that paralyzes, that makes people not want to know what they need to know. Of course we are afraid of things, sometimes. But a semiconstant state of dread is killing. How do we acknowledge fear and move ahead anyway? What do we do when our thinking is muddled by fear? Who do we reach out to? What do we reach for? And how do we help others tame their fears? |

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
--- Frank Herbert, Dune - Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear |

To be afraid or not to be afraid? That is the question. Given all that is going on there is more a sense of aniexty as folks are moving into unknown territories with the economy, the never ending war, shifting timelines, weird weather/weather wars, more ET disclosure, increase in oil prices, cost of food, cost in energy to survive cold climate, housing costs/bankruptcies, lost of jobs and so forth. All of this is going on to where past complacency is being shaken up.
One can choose to look at these unfurling events as a challenge and choose to look at what is happening as a challenge to one's inner spirit to rise up and shine. This is what is being asked of us. Nice thead.

I'd like to see you develop this idea. What is it about Fear and Faith that makes them opposites? Why is fear the opposite of anything? What is water the opposite of? It is simply a form of a particular kind of matter. Fear is a particular kind of passion, and the opposite of passion is indifference. We are not indifferent, or we would not be here. We have many passions, fear among them. Fear is one of the most corrosive. It saps our will, and clouds our thinking. This is why it makes such a dandy control tool. This is why we must learn to neutralize it and why we must teach others to neutralize it. The knowledge is there, within each of us. Let's dig deeper. |

I think and could be wrong, that when you are in a state of fear your aura retracts against your body and spills out essential energies. When someone is aggressive towards you, you curl up and feed them, this can happen without even really knowing it, or so I think.
It is important to stay centered. It helps to get in the groove of the flow of the universe Listening to positive music helps, playing it even better. Everyone has some music in them, get some drums or a guitar or something. Spoons are cheap and fun to play...you must have a couple of these in the kitchen! Dodge fear...what you pay attention to you become conscious of... stay groovy

All Fear is simply 'forgetting' that we are Eternally 'Safe'. The master magicians are at work here as they are everywhere. You may view the glass 'half empty' or 'half full'. Its your perspective that needs work. Always view it half Full! Why spend a moment of unhappiness? Our time here is VERY short. A moment in the life of Creation, a moment...
No matter what is occurring at any time on this planet even a 'slate wiper' Which I welcome, all is pristinely perfect as it is all a reflection of the 'sum total' of all the consciousness occurring at any given moment. When i gaze across the 'collective' I see a slate wiper as a blessing. It is SO BROKEN here that i see no other way to begin anew. I have spent my life in the pursuit of as much pleasure as I could and had a ball. Now if this an end and new consciousness/awareness is beginning, I would like to give back and have something Better to leave to the children of the world. So I feel I did my part on my Watch... Fear not. You Are Safe. Think of all the moments of abject fear you have experienced every day , and yet here you are! Fear is ignorance and forgetting your eternal place in the fabric of time and space and part and parcel of the Human Condition. Simply put, We are are here to transcend fear and stay in Gratitude and love. There are only 2 thoughts available here on Earth. Really only 2, Fear or Love, all thoughts being branched out from these 2 poles. All thoughts are the children of these 2 polarities! All thought that bring Peace, Joy and happiness are of Love, all others no matter how arcane are the children of Fear. Making the transition most laugh as they realize how many times they have done this already. Its like you took off a shoe that was too tight, or opened a window in smoke filled room. You never lose 'yourself' for a moment, and remember how safe you really have always been for eternity! Its a wonderful gift. when 'over there' we 'forget ' here, and when here we 'forget' there. In order to demonstrate our knowledge to ourselves to realize how much our awareness has grown or how much more we need to grow. Though it seems sometimes that you are 'stuck' and not moving forward, this is an illusion as you are 'always ' moving forward to higher awareness. Patterns we are 'stuck' in are just lessons we need to have the awareness to leave behind once we have seen the truth and we no longer need the repetition to learn from. As it states in a 'Course of Miracles', This Course is Required. The only options are how much time you devote to its learning. Its totally your call and there are no penalties no matter how long you wish it to last. So no need to Fear Anything Ever. Repeat a mantra to yourself anytime anything ever takes you out of your center: You Are Safe. Fear will well up in you Hundreds maybe Thousands of time each day. Take your fear as if you were a parent helping a child, by the hand and gently put it in your pocket and dwell on your Blessings and tell him, 'You Are Safe' and soon that fear will transform to a happy child, and will bother you no more. Till you become forgetful and create him again and then gently take his hand and repeat the exercise. You will see that as you practice he will be created less and less, till it becomes a non issue. Something I wrote many years ago: First you take a deep breath and Realize your Blessings. PLENTY of people go to get dinner with a spear, then they eat it RAW. YOU HAVE SOME NERVE COMPLAINING. Always see the good. You see the glass. Is it half empty or half full? It's up to you to view it correctly. It's always your choice to view it Half FULL! Why see it half empty you like to be upset? Shame on you. It's up to you to be in charge of your perspective. You're in hell? Think of the best times you have had. Think of all the good things you have had and done. Or if you can't, because you're too upset, just lie and put a smile on your face. It's been shown that when you smile whether you mean it or not the Brain believes the expression of the smile and starts producing endorphins. You know what happens then? You start feeling better for real. Always count your blessings... Plenty of folks wish they had it as good as you. Always see the best and you will have the best. It's the Law of the Universe. The Law of Attraction, Like attracts Like. Be positive in all endeavors and positive things will rush to you. Nobody like to see a crybaby. Take yourself in hand and remember your Blessings. You are still on Earth and you know what? Earth is this place they call 'heaven' being here is a gift one of your blessings. Live this life WELL, and when your older and frail, you can look back and remember all the love and blessings you have had and be blissed out and enjoy your blessings a second time. Try to hurt no one, only try add joy to the world any way you can. If someone hurts you, feel bad for them. They have chosen not to focus on good things, and they want to strike you down so you will be upset like them. They don't know they hurt themselves by doing this and so spiral deeper and deeper into a chasm of misery. Their small mindedness with their limited awareness will only bring them more and more misery. You remember your blessings and you will be impervious to their attacks. Be ever vigilant to not let the Collective's programming rule your thoughts. The whole system is set up to keep you unhappy and be a good consumer. To try to make you believe you need this that and the other thing to make you happy. You know on some level this is total Bunk. All you need to be happy is to be alive in the present moment. This is all you ever have. Tomorrow or even today might be the last moments you have on this Planet. So be happy you have been allowed to remain another day in Heaven. Anthony DeMello had a great exercise: See yourself Dead in your Box The worms are eating you and eventually you become ashes! Umm, what was that , that you were 'upset' about? LOL, Really, we have ,NO, time for such 'foolishness' as being upset!! some of these ideas are just what you Crave read 'Emmannells Book' by Pat Rodgeast and 'Awareness' by Anthony DeMello (jesuit scholar) many answewrs await you there and here is a Gem by Roger Keys: Hokusai Says by Roger Keyes Hokusai says Look carefully. He says pay attention, notice He says keep looking, stay curious. He says there is no end to seeing. He says Look Forward to getting old. He says keep changing, you just get more who you really are. He says get stuck, accept it, repeat yourself as long as it's interesting. He says keep doing what you love. He says keep praying. He says every one of us is a child, every one of us is ancient, every one of us has a body. He says every one of us is frightened. He says every one of us has to find a way to live with fear. He says everything is alive - shells, buildings, people, fish, mountains, trees. Wood is alive. Water is alive. Everything has its own life. Everything lives inside us. He says live with the world inside you. He says it doesn't matter if you draw, or write books. It doesn't matter if you saw wood, or catch fish. It doesn't matter if you sit at home and stare at the ants on your verandah or the shadows of the trees and grasses in your garden. It matters that you care. It matters that you feel. It matters that you notice. It matters that life lives through you. Contentment is life living through you. Joy is life living through you. Satisfaction and strength are life living through you. Peace is life living through you. He says don't be afraid. Don't be afraid. Look, feel, let life take you by the hand. Let life live through you. Last edited by efields; 09-28-2008 at 01:19 PM. |

Quote:
If you read the Hebrew in Genesis you find that it says that God choose Noah because he was pure of his pedigree not free from sin. No Man is free from sin as we are influenced the day we start to speak by world that has been twisted by the evil masters that rule in secret to this day. Now when I say Man I mean Mankind for that is how God refers to us, he doesn't call us humans. I would urge that you seek the true meaning of human. AS to faith. When one starts to gain real wisdom through prayer one starts to realize we live in a matrix formed and guided by the dark masters so as to enslave us to our flesh so we don't realize what great power we have and rebel against it/them. So the beginning of faith is the fear of God. In Hebrew the word fear in this statement is really deep respect. AS you respect God he opens eyes and ears and minds and it becomes apparent the flesh must be put to death. As one realizes they are captives and slaves to the beast they begin to detach and as they do they seek the true nature of God in them and it becomes an automatic. fornication and adultery are first to go. self serving living is also first to go. Compassion sets in because you realize that we mankind are misled and scales have been placed over the eyes and we are literally blinded to our immortality and power.Power that was meant to supersede that of the Nacash and we were meant to be the bride of the Messiah so t speak to become a race of beings that are the culmination of all the the best of the previous creations(the sons of God) that had a hand in our creation. see Job 38:4-7 The morning stars are the sons of God. In Enoch and many old testament verses the sons of God or watchers were called stars. Some were serpentine in their physical nature but most or all were far more advanced in their creations evolution and are other dimensional. AS you begin to practice faith out of learned knowledge and become more convinced of your immortality and great hidden power the more you choose to give up this Matrix and its snares and live away from it as much as possible. AS a result of learning truth as I have you become more faithful and faith becomes truth and in truth you believe and so death begins to mean nothing but service to God takes precedence and as Jeremiah says to resist Evil in all it's forms you become a warrior for truth and the Most high Creator and fear starts to fail its purpose in your life. Some would say this is your truth and not necessarily all mankind's truth. I assure if you seek God the heavenly daddy you will come to the same truths as they are starting to emerge everywhere. The great masters like to turn the sons of God into aliens thru misguided souls in order to get you to pay homage and worship the creation. The only ones with the creator at the point of creation was the the word and the Spirit of the most High. All other forms are part of the creation. God warns about worshiping the creation as that is what ha Adam and eve truly did. They choose to live under their means and not the provision of the Father and seek the pleasure of the flesh and not the spirit. I believe God created ha Adam(the man) to become a king over mankind outside the garden that had already been corrupted by the fallen sons of God. The council of the Gods was inside the garden and Satan(the Nacash) was present in the council as he was the great prosecutor in it and thats how had access to Adam and Eve. Now I could write a book about this but I have left much out so as to maybe spark some to seek these things I have stated and learn on your own what I say. Faith is believing in something you cant see but as truth sets in Faith becomes fact as the great Daddy in heaven reveals himself and truth to you. Care not what your gonna where or what you will eat, consider the Lily's of the field. WE are children of the most high and our DNA has been corrupted but by faith we are accepted by our heavenly daddy. hence the Hebrews considered all others that weren't of the pure Adamic bloodline as gentiles. Simply put put if when fear starts to overcome you get on your knees and seek the great creator and ask for him to take it away and give you truth in it's place. I guarantee you if you faithfully seek three times a day on your face before Him, he won't let you down. AT first you may be skeptical but learn to count yourself as a child of the Father and a sharer of his reward and that all good things in your life are from him and soon you will see small miracles and answers to prayer come faster and faster to you. I leave you with this. There is one thing anyone can observe in this place we call earth. There are two opposites. Good and Evil. Light and dark. Above and Below. Good and bad is a basic to your Psyche as your need to eat. Therefore there is a evil presence and beneficial loving one. One offers freedom of choice and forces nothing on you as that is true love and grace. The other seeks to destroy and enslave because when you see things for what they are you will accept that which is good and freedom and thats not him. When you are in doubt get on your knees and inject faith and break the cycle of fear. Its basic psychology to break bad behavior with good so as to relearn and heal for example the twelve steps of AA. Relearn your life habits with good ones, Relearn with Faith!! For Christ said blessed are those that believe but Have Not seen. They will have great reward. Part of that reward is revelation of truth. One last thing, Lots of folks look at al the pain,sorrow,bloodshed and horror of this world and say how can a loving God let this happen. Well I'll tell you. One of God's greatest creations, THe Dragon/Satan/lucifer/Nacash/Serpent The most powerful being in heaven under The word and great ruler of what we call the dark demensions or that which is Dark matter as opposed to light Matter or that which we can not see, a negative Uiverse is beloved by The father too and in his leadership role means we are caught in the middle of his rebellion. So that we must suffer under his rule as he Hates Us with every fiber of his being and our destruction is is his utmost purpose now as his time is short when compared to universal time. But God so loved the world that he gave his only Son as the ultimate sacrifice and example that God himself is willing to come down and suffer the most hellish of deaths as we must suffer, to show he is willing suffer as we must so he may allow his loved ones to rebel and will be made an example for all the Universe and all the other creation within to see and as a testiment to his love and ultimate rule to all other creations whether existing or to come. Sorry for the novel but its so hard to explain anything of the most high without pointing out that mainline Christianity has been guided away from our true origins and the secrets hidden right in front of its eyes about the times preceding the flood and the purpose of God in this Rebellion so as to make them lukewarm. Faith is the Opposite of FEAR. It's a mantra of my Life nowadays. Faith Not Fear! If I die today I know my spirit goes to the Father and not the Dragon. Seek to have your name in the book of the Lamb and his seal on you in these the last years of this Evil system of things. and last but not least, yes I believe there are other worldly creations and The son's of God are representives of these other creations that have achieved what we were meant to be and then some. This Creation we live in has representations of all these other creations in our Animal forms and Races. Gods Love and Richest Blessings

Fear plays several useful roles in our lives. Law for example is the offer of freedom for taking responsibility, abiding with law and the sanction of punishment for abandoning it. thus we 'escape' a cultural fear by staying within the law.
Freedom from the fear of cancer or aids or other serious disease for example is a question of knowledge. Unfortunately the limitations of medical science and nutritional understanding make this escape most unlikely. As already mentioned, fear also exists as a useful warning, like straying too close to the edge of a cliff or not crossing the road while listening to our mp3 player and walking into a car, if, and that is sadly a big IF, we have the wisdom to take its advice. Fear of God, the ultimate wisdom, if one accepts that there is a God [?] is a question of a different order. As the history of the Christian religion is mostly one of disagreement, and the breakup into different denominations, it is unlikely we have understood that reality sufficiently. but I would suggest that like Law, to escape the fear of divine retribution, [the sanction] would requires an obedience to a conception of responsibility called righteousness humanity has yet to comprehend. I say yet to comprehend because I can see no evidence of any cultural construction able to live in a peace with a justice which would confirm an ethical/moral integrity worthy of the very notion of God. For that reason, I can only wonder if the theological construction we call 'christianity' has anything to do with God? |

Wow, this is rich and pithy.
If Faith is Trust (Trust in God or in Good Karma or Justice), then Fear is NOT DISTRUST. Trust is being open; it's a 13. And a state (3) of being open is a 39 (3 x 13). Fear is VISCERAL; it grabs you. Fear is "fight or flight." Lots of people who distrust the matrix Not-See system are not at the point of "fight or flight." Let's say that Fear is -39 : and it means, "I'll never endure -- not here. Lemme outta here!" So fear is being completely shut down, 3 x -13 = -39. And it's reciprocal, -93, is condemnation, the inability to continue. Faith is 26, it's the CHOICE (2) to be Trusting -- NOT THE STATE (3) of Trust. So, the opposite of Faith, -26, is Avoidance -- the CHOICE to be Not Open (-13). Therefore, its reciprocal, -62, is lack of clarity. Isn't this fun? Shech-- Quote:

We all need some fear in our lifes in order to make the right choices. Eventually, these choices help us leap over that fear or barrier.
