One huge hoax that society plays on all its members is being afraid. The fear has a man on the run, and if not looked at, the fear monster gets bigger each day. Fear says, “Don’t look, or you could go mad.” What could be more maddening than running away from something imaginary. Every man and women must see through his or her own mind, which is an expert at hoaxing. Once you realize that all fear is useless and should not be listened to in the slightest, everything changes in how to proceed in life.
Do Not Fear Your Emptiness or Silence.
Listen closely to your mind, and if you detect fear, you will learn that fear loves fear and nothing more, it has no intention of being free of fear. So you decide to abandon your fear. The fear will threaten you, for that is all it can do. Which is to produce more fear. Ignore it. Look at both emptiness and silence a new. It takes practice, but is worth every bit of effort. Yes, it’s hard work, but being fearful is hard, scary, existing. It is not living. Get tired of being afraid. It can be done, and I know it can.
Get tired of living like a bunny rabbit, afraid of everything. You were put on this planet to evolve. Nobody but you and your thoughts are holding you back. You will learn to be empty and silent and not be afraid.
“There is a right kind of rebellion in which you rebel against being afraid of anything.” -Vernon Howard
Do this exercise and you will know something new.
For years, I was hoaxed by my fear until Vernon Howard told me otherwise. I lied about my condition to myself. Thank you, Vernon Howard
What a fantastic message to hear. Maybe the only message we truly need to hear during life on this planet. I was afraid to come on this blog and read some higher truths, and look what coming here got me, a life liberating message that actually works!
Lately I have noticed that voice that pops up during my day and whispers fearfully that I may have forgotten something, maybe an item or a task, and that I must strain with worry to try and remember what it is. Can you believe that up until now I considered that voice my friend?
There is no logical explanation other than that fear wants more of itself. I am afraid to abandon fearful voices – wrong! Fearful voices are afraid of abandoning fearful voices! They don’t want to walk away from their junkie friends!
In addition to this, I just realised the other day that fearful voices in my mind love to live in the shadows – they refuse to come out and be made clear because it will expose their phoneyness!
Example – I will criticise someone else to other people, but given the opportunity to address the situation with that person, the criticisms will run and hide and refuse to be verbalised. I will avoid having to criticise that person to their face.
Conclusion – fearful and critical thoughts are cowards.
The opening line of this blog says it all;
‘One huge hoax that society plays on all its members is being afraid.’
What a helpful statement, as it at once defines the problem and the solution. I don’t have to be a member of society! That doesn’t mean I don’t live and work in the work like any ordinary person, but psychologically I can choose to climb higher and higher. The way to do this? Have nothing to do with being afraid.
Live and work in the world like any ordinary person.
A liberating life of no fear. Surely that’s Heaven. Who wouldn’t want this? Total freedom of mind in any situation.
No fakery, no fear. – Vernon Howard
Fear in all its forms are false. – Vernon Howard.
I see the fear in me – and know it’s not really my essence. It belongs to the false thing in me that is trying to steal my life. It does not love me and wants to destroy me.
I’m going to fight for myself in the right way, as Vernon said.
Right Rebellion against the lower nature.
All I can do is see it. I can’t change it or save myself. I just have to see it and something higher will take care of it for me. Something that really loves me.
What a can of worms this has opened up. We must not be afraid to see everything about the fear we harbor, and it is being hidden from us by our own permission. Tough truths are sweet truths.
From Vernon Howard’s booklet: “Freedom from a Life of Hell” #25
“FEAR NOTHING There is nothing to fear. Fear remains as a private hell only because the man
or woman has not yet seen something. You must see that there is really no one within you to
feel fear- no one real. Only the false self trembles. Stop loving your fears. Yes, you love your
anxieties because you wrongly believe that their painful vibrations give you life. They don’t.
They give you hell. Be real. You will never again fear anything.”
Isn’t this nice?
