Learning To Laugh In The Face Of Fear

Most videos about fear which you know looks and feels terrible but it has no power.

It is illusion.

It's just you know to have enough courage that you can find that out instead of being turned away from your heart's desire because you hit a wall of fear.

This is why I'm doing this video to you know back you up to offer you some support.

You know when we're evolving if we start to evolve very fast we start going vertically you know our vibration increases.

Now when that happens it is psychologically harder because you know the fear comes up you know the ego starts mobilizing its defenses trying to steer you away from moving into truth and it can feel very very uncomfortable.

But you know keep going you know it won't kill you.

The other way to live is evolving in a more of a horizontal way like just going through your life and you know learning as you go along without putting extra energy into your journey just kind of more the line of least resistance and then you know you won't have to face as much fear but at the end of your life you won't also be free.

You'll still be in the confines of that fear that you haven't faced.

So you know if you're more motivated to find freedom then you need some practice at facing fear.

Now the number one thing is never fight fear because if you fight your fear if you argue with it if you engage with it it will get bigger because it's fooled you right at that moment as soon as you start to fight it it's got you because you believe in it.

See really fear is illusion it has no power.

So you know and this might take a bit of practice but you observe yourself you observe your state you observe you know what it's like to walk around in cold terror.

I once walked around in for five days you know I had a very terrible diagnosis and my response was this fear and you know five terrible days at which point you know after five days I got this voice coming up from my heart going it's just fear Pramasiddha it's just fear and I went yeah it's just fear.

But you know it did take me some practice to get to the point where I can hear this voice telling me this.

In the old days I would just walk around terrified with having very little practice with facing fear and finally what would happen is I would just get exhausted I'd be too exhausted to feel any more fear and I just end up surrendering to the truth of myself just out of exhaustion which is you know it's a good you know it's a bit of a hard way to live it's why I'm doing this video I don't you know I want to help anybody who's who's who struggled like I did.

Yeah but it's just illusion so you don't fight fear you observe it you don't talk about it to anybody unless they're a really kind of conscious person unless they've had some experience facing fear because otherwise you'll scare people and then you'll have to deal with their fear which will just add to how terrible you're feeling so just don't talk you know get some exercise you know when when we're scared our reptilian brain which is humankind's first brain like our least evolved brain comes up and it takes over our experience and it will it will kind of give you tunnel vision and it will really you know it's just a very tunnel vision it increases the sense of separation from everything so anyway what you do is you know stuff I walk my dog I'd have warm baths I would fill the fridge you know psychologically having a full fridge helps the mammal self you know calm down like there's enough food you're not going to die of hunger I would read inspirational books if I knew somebody who who gave loving massages I would do that I would go see a friend an older friend who didn't really understand my journey but it was just kind of peaceful being with her and I would sort of go there just for comfort even though I wouldn't talk about what was bothering me but she was fond of me and that helped but do whatever you can that makes you feel better pray you know I was really motivated spiritually and I had a lot of garbage to face so I had a lot of gateways of facing fear and every time I did it you know don't fight it but know that there's some light behind it it's just trying to wall you off from the light your ego is just trying to stay alive so every time I did it I would be enhanced I would be more relaxed afterwards my wisdom would go up I'd be more tolerant with myself and others I had greater insights into the world my competence went way up also the more fear I felt the less hassled I was by any kind of authorities it was funny you know in the old days when I was going to I traveled to see the Hawaiian Kahuna Abraham for three months of the year and in those days I would always when I'd be taking the boys I always get searched at the border and they could smell my fear but I wasn't scared it wasn't smuggling anything I was just scared to go to do the next studying with Abraham you know and and so it was a victory when I stopped being searched at the border but it's true you just don't get you know the less fear I've carried the less hassled I get in every way yeah but there were some you know some of those things dealing with the authorities along the way which really were it was very accelerative and you know see that as you know here's a chance to face your fear move through your fear and just do the best you can you know don't don't try to ace it just do the best you can you know and pray pray as you go through you know it's really you know miraculous what can happen I mean I know somebody who got like a 19,

000 dollar tax bill and they were terrified and they you know moved through the fear and indeed the tax department sent letters saying that they miscalculated and the bill was only 9,

000 and it's sort of you know it's when you face your fear and your vibration goes up your the outer reality the things that happen to you alter that is our real personal power and that is how to have a good life it's just a bit arduous to actually learn how to face fear but you know if you don't you get it in your death bed or you just spend your whole life confined with very high walls and you know it doesn't make for happiness I think you know we all need to like just become a little braver you know fear is just illusion I mean it's uncomfortable but it's not the truth but you know if you get caught in it this is the rub if you get caught in your fear you can make it true it's like the family that were so scared of world war three they flew to the Falklands you know it's like fear you know fear and worry can actually make a kind of negative prayer you actually are creating the difficulty but you see it's loving so okay so even if you've like got caught in your fear and you've made some something worse the universe is just showing you your power you got you see your power in reverse you see it the power of like that you created more darkness for yourself like do you see you like once you get a once you once you start taking responsibility then you can you know use your power in a wiser way but the universe is loving so even if we get a negative experience it's trying to show us something in fact you know when you're moving into more truth sometimes it is that way you get you get the experience in the negative and then it wakes you up and you start learning how to live more skillfully you start learning how to drive more skillfully it's all good it's just uncomfortable but it's not the end of the world you know I mean when I first started out I I turned I fought my fear and I turned it into an enormous tsunami you know and then I experienced that and it was like I was getting my power in the reverse so I became very skilled at you know moving through fear and you know this just happened I drove up to the Arctic Circle I went on a little vision quest and I was coming over a hill and somebody was passing you know they're passing it's a silly thing for them to do anyway so I come over the hill and there is this big truck not a truck I mean it was a truck I was driving a truck too so it's a truck you know it was another white truck actually that was coming up and it just missed me narrowly and you know I didn't even have a fast heartbeat or afterwards I had no after effects to that because I just felt very secure in the universe and that that that showed me how little fear I've got right now yay it's like you know it's been a lot of years of facing fear you know it's nice that it's it's it's less yeah that was just an amazing experience and I wasn't asleep so wide awake I didn't even get a fast heartbeat anyway so remember it's just fear oh just observe it take care of yourself if you're in that and and you know remind yourself the universe is loving although you know in when we get like this I know it doesn't seem like it yeah in fact it can really seem the opposite but just be patient with yourself and comfort yourself and just do things to comfort yourself and take care of yourself okay you guys many many blessings
