How Can I Be Free
of Fearful Thoughts?
by Stuart Wilde
 Q:
How can I be free from the negative and fearful
thoughts and emotions that dominate me?
A: Don't let yourself become a victim of your
emotions. When you are scared, it isn't the real you that is scared, it is your
personality interpreting circumstances that may be adverse. You are not these
emotions; they don't own you. As you begin to understand that you don't belong
to your emotions, then you can detach from them. It's simply a matter of saying,
"I won't be victimized by my emotions".
Don't
make the mistake of confusing your emotions with
your feelings. Your feelings are inside the
etheric. They are 500,000 times faster than you
think they are. They are quick, they can move
anywhere, they can look at anything. What you
think are your feelings are just emotional or
physical sensations, and for the most part, they
are crawling along at very slow speeds. You are
not these emotions. When you are scared, your
personality and ego lead you to believe that you
are the fear. But you can't be. It's impossible
for that to happen to you. You exist as a spirit
beyond these things.
If
you have reconciled fear, you are free. If you
accept your life, you are free. If you don't
resist, you are free. It's only the ego that
says you have to have a pain-free existence.
It's only the ego that says you shouldn't die.
It's only the ego that says you have to have
glamour and importance. It's only the ego that
says you have to follow the path that it wants
you to follow. It's nonsense. Life will go the
way it goes. And when you don't fight it, you're
free. The less you fight it, the less anguish
and negativity you create.
When
you think about it, there is no negative energy
upon our Earth plane. We live in a 100 percent
positive dimension, a pure dimension of
spirituality and goodness. The only form of
negative energy we can experience amounts to
nothing more than contradictions of the ego's
opinions. If your ego believes you should be
immortal and you drop dead, it's a
contradiction. If your ego believes you should
not experience pain and you hit your thumb with
a hammer, it's a contradiction. In fact, if you
didn't have an ego parliament inside your head,
you could not experience negativity.
Animals
live in an absolutely positive dimension. Even
if an animal breaks a leg and is in pain, it
doesn't think, My God, this is
ghastly. It doesn't have a concept of
ghastly. It doesn't have an opinion that says a
broken leg is worse than a healthy leg. It has
pain sensations running up its leg, but it
doesn't have an opinion that resists the
experience. So as you give away the resistance
and reconcile death, and as you understand the
incredible heroism and beauty of this existence,
you can free yourself from all emotions.
