Dancing with Fear

When we run from fear we’re trying to escape the thoughts of our own mind.

Are you aware of your everyday relationship with fear? Fear is one of our many different daily dance partners. Not that we may even recognize we’re doing the fear dance to whatever situation we’re facing. Yet fear is a choice point which stirs our life into a point of potential growth. Depending on whatever choice we make of course determines if we grow or not.

What does fear want from us?

Fear is consciousness itself expressing the need for us to be alert instantaneously. No lag time, to be alert immediately. It is this fear, our protective unconscious expression of energy, which comes to be manifest in our mind, brain, and body. It comes to shake us acutely wide awake. It like hearing, BANG WITH FLASHING LIGHTS! WAKE-UP this is your BE ALERT call. For you are now entering into a situation were your not prepared in that moment to face. It is this, a bright blinking like light in the darkness of lack of understanding which is calling for us to PAY-ATTENTION. It is this blinking light of fear warning us of what is standing before us. It is this light, that which is called fear which prevent us from being consumed, hurt, by a moment we are not prepared for. It echoes out its concern to us. Announcing itself for our awareness. Fear is our protective consciousness.

Fear needn’t tie us up and inhibit us from evolving through and past the fear event before us. Fear’s goal is to cause us to pause as it deflects us away from any potential harm or pain. So then, after the event we can access what we need to understand more deeply with resolve. This point of fear alert us to the point of growth facing us. Fear wishes to teach us, to grow us, to evolve us into a more knowledgeable understanding of life. Of course, we must consider the severity of the situation and the volume of the fear itself. Not all of the mental and physical outcome of a fear event can be process without professional support. I speak here of the fears we face often enough, as we dance with fear every day. So, it make sense we learn this dance called fear.
