Accepting Fear

[Krishna Siva]

Hey guys,

IfI learnt one thing from my contemplation process and experience, it is that fear is the driving force in my life.

My life is an escape from fear, and I fear Fear itself. But I know the only solution is to accept it. To accept it as a part of me.

But somehow, I don't feel really comfortable accepting Fear like any other emotion like sadness, joy or excitement.  Uncomfortable in the sense, it's artificial, and it creates much more anxiety.

What might be hindering me? Any Idea?

Maybe it's a matter of time until you can develop enough consciousness and see that every emotion is just like an external object. Emotions and objects are just things that are not you and are passing you by. You don't identify with the computer you're typing that would be absurd so why identify with your fear ?

Fear is a sign of growth and ego consolidation. Fear in a sense is pain, uncharted territory. If you are afraid of fear, then you are still worshiping ideas and concepts about reality.
