Fear!

Emotions are complex and can be difficult to understand and deal with, especially when they are deep-rooted and unconscious. Fear is one such emotion that can have a profound impact on our lives. It is essential to reach and deal with this deep-seated but unconscious emotion if we want to live a fulfilling and meaningful life. But how do we do it?

One of the first steps in dealing with fear is to understand its root cause. Fear has existed with humans for centuries, and it has both conscious and unconscious roots that run deep. We often suppress or neglect our fear, but this can lead to physical shrinkage, resistance, and avoidance of reality. Therefore, we must be willing to go to the very root of our fear to be free from it.

There are various forms of fear, such as fear of death, old age, uncertainty, insecurity, loneliness, loss, and not being loved. We can deal with the outward forms of fear superficially, or we can go into it very deeply by observing its nature and structure and how it comes into being.

To deal with fear deeply, we must understand its root cause. Time and thought are the major factors of fear. The past, present, and future are all forms of time that can cause fear. Thinking about the past incidents, accidents, or psychological events that have caused fear can lead to fear of the future. The future is also a source of fear since it is uncertain and unknown.

Thought also breeds fear. Thinking about what might happen in the future or dwelling on the past can cause fear. Therefore, to deal with deep-rooted fear, we must understand the role of time and thought in creating it. Once we understand the root cause, we can take steps to overcome it.

One way to overcome fear is to observe it without judgment or reaction. We can observe how fear arises, how it affects us physically and mentally, and how it dissipates. We can also challenge our thoughts and beliefs that are causing fear and replace them with more positive and empowering ones.

In conclusion, fear is a complex emotion that can have a profound impact on our lives. To deal with deep-rooted fear, we must understand its root cause, which is often time and thought. By observing fear without judgment and challenging our thoughts and beliefs, we can overcome it and live a more fulfilling life.
