Fear: The Hidden Barrier

 Ultimately the only thing in life that stops us from living the life of our dreams is ourselves.

We limit the amount of life force that flows through us through our openness to life and it’s experiences. We choose our beliefs. Most of our beliefs are handed down from generation to generation and accepted without question, just because everyone agrees that’s the way it’s always been. We just get trained into believing certain things and stuff them into a dark cupboard in the recesses of our mind and never consider them again. Yet these beliefs determine the reality that we see.

Change your beliefs and you change the entire landscape of your world. Our beliefs create a structure – our Operating System. As the force of life flows through our beliefs and so determines what we think, say and do, this creates the world we see about us.

Different beliefs would lead us to think, say or act differently. This would evoke a different reaction from the people around us or even cause us to be in a different place with different people. We’d get a different experience of life and so feel different emotions.

 Of course at times, for everyone, life has its tough moments. Equally we all have many, many opportunities, but so many people just don’t see them.

The major reason that we don’t see them, or act on those we see, is fear. So many people feel anxious walking into a room with other people in. Or trying out something new. Almost everything in life is inhibited, limited or ruined to some extent by fear.

Its fear that stops us from sharing our true self and our talents with the world.

Its fear that stops us from enjoying relationships as intimate and honest as they could be.

Its fear that blocks millions of people from doing anything more exciting than sitting in front of the telly night, after night.

Its fear that makes us settle for the certainty of ordinary, rather than the excitement of the incredible.

Yet again it only ruins our lives because we misunderstand the role fear plays in our lives.

Fear comes about from uncertainty. Physical fear is a protection against danger. If a hungry lion were creeping up behind you, wouldn’t you want some kind of warning? Fear is like the warning light in your car that tells you you’re low on oil.

Emotional fear serves a similar purpose. When you begin to dream and you feel fear, it is caused by the friction of the life force flowing through your beliefs. The fear comes from the conflict between the dream and a belief in opposition to your dream.

The greater your fear... the more life force flowing through you... and so the more power and importance connected to the dream. Once you identify the opposing belief and change it your fear will transform into a momentum that will speed up the process of bringing your dream to life.

Though usually we misunderstand this. And the fear becomes so great that it paralyses us. Instead of taking this as encouragement that our dream is on its way and identifying the belief… we try to dull down the fear. The side effect of this is to dilute or ignore our dreams. Instead we settle for that which doesn’t cause such uncomfortable feelings. The other side of this is that it bores us and makes us feel less than we know we could be.

Many people think that beliefs are set in stone. This isn’t true. Everything you believe, you believe for a reason. Most of the time it was a choice we made many years ago and now we’d choose differently. However as life is so fast paced, we’ve never got around to reviewing our beliefs. Getting clearer about what exactly is frightening you will bring you to the obstructing belief.

Then if you analyse and examine the information on which the belief is based you will sooner or later find something that isn’t true. When you fill in the gaps in your knowledge you can choose to base your belief on the new evidence. And as the life force flows through your new beliefs… your dream will now begin to take shape.

 
Tip

A tool I have come across that is immensely powerful in helping to change outdated beliefs is a process called Scripting. Karol Truman has written a book, Feelings Buried Alive Never Die, detailing how scripting can improve the quality of your life.

Here’s an extract from that book explaining Karol’s perspective…

"My Soul is comprised of my Spirit and my Body. Having been schooled by my senses from birth, my human nature is to listen to the needs and the wants of my Body. So, naturally, the desires of my body seem to receive the most attention, thereby governing my actions and my existence. Because of this, my Spirit is often neglected—much to the detriment of both my Body and my Spirit. My desire is to function as a whole—a whole Be-ing—to be at peace in my Body and in my Spirit (Soul). In order to do this, my Body cannot be in charge and allowed to overrule my Spirit. Both Body and Spirit need to be balanced, to be in harmony. Because of my human nature and unruly will (my self-will), most of my life I have allowed my Body to “call the shots.” But I experienced too much inner conflict and frustration functioning from the Body being the master. Life was not bringing me the peace and joy that I knew was possible. I definitely wanted to correct this, so, upon learning about the “Script,” I decided to become aware, conscious and mindful of my feelings, thoughts and words so I could correct the disharmony, the conflict, the war going on between my Body and my Spirit that was causing fragmentation in my Soul. As I recognize what I’m feeling or thinking that is bringing me any disharmony, I go through the “Script” stating that feeling or thought. I give MY Spirit instructions to correct the erroneous programming that is causing my discomfort. Dr. Deepak Chopra, M.D., indicates in his book, Perfect Health, that the cells’ memory of perfection contained in the DNA cannot be lost. It is only covered over, at which point the perfect blueprint of the cell is distorted. It is distorted by incorrect perceptions and erroneous programming, which alter the perfect blueprint and in turn distort the cells. When I address my Spirit, I am talking to and instructing no one except my Higher Self, my Intelligence, my Spirit. My Spirit in turn goes to the feeling that has covered the memory of perfection in my DNA, knocks on the door, tells the feeling that answers the door that she (my Spirit) has been requested by her Body to make some corrections, to clean house, to uncover the memory of perfection contained in the cells original perfect blueprint; to eliminate the distortion and to restore the cells perfect function by re-programming them; to bring harmony and balance back to the DNA and RNA. When I do this, I am being response-able for myself. I am becoming account-able for what I feel and think. I am facilitating my own shift, my own transformation, uncovering the memory of perfection in the cells throughout my body. The cells then can begin functioning as they were designed to function. The cells can realign themselves to become balanced and more in tune with Universal Laws—with God’s Laws. If you choose to use the word Intelligence, Subconscious, or Higher Self instead of Spirit in addressing that All-knowing aspect of yourself, the same principles apply and the “Script” still works effectively. Please, do not allow any words contained within the “Script” to trigger discomfort in you. No offense is meant to anyone."

You can change persistent beliefs that you no longer wish to hold onto, using the following script.

Spirit, please locate the origin of my feeling/thought of (insert the   negative  feeling  or what you want  to resolve here) _____________________________. Take each and every level, layer, area and aspect of my Be-ing to this origin. Analyze and resolve it perfectly, with God's truth. Come through all generations of time & eternity, healing every incident and it's appendages based on the origin. Do it according to God's will until I'm at the present, filled with light and truth, God's peace and love, forgiveness of myself for my incorrect perceptions, forgiveness of every person, place, circumstance and event which contributed to this feeling (s) /thought (s) . With total forgiveness and unconditional love I allow every physical, mental, emotional and spiritual problem, and inappropriate behavior based on the negative origin recorded in my DNA, to transform. I choose__________________ (insert same positive replacement for each blank.) I feel______________________ I am_____________________ It is done. It is healed. It is accomplished now! Thank you, Spirit, for coming to my aid and helping me attain the full measure of my creation. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I love you and praise God from whom all blessings flow.
