Prosperity Tip

Fear is a familiar emotion. Often our experience with fear increases the further we are away from childhood. Eckhart Tolle explains fear and other negative emotions as a result of our ego reflecting on what is past and imagining what might happen in the future. The ego driven energy blocks our connection to God within.

Today I encourage you to visit the website and blog of Rev. Alan Rowbotham and register for his newsletter Spiritual Solutions. (Do this right now!)

I have been fortunate to hear Alan speak several times in the past year and his presence and guidance is wonderful. Today I also post one of his messages on fear. I encourage you to read this, pass it on and use this information in your Prosperity Tool Chest. Remember the Prosperity Tool Chest is designed to help you focus on those principles that are most valuable for you to transform your life…..for you to attract your goals and dreams. Fear can block the energy explained in the Law of Attraction. Today we revisit this powerful negative emotion.

Overcoming Your Fears

Overcoming your fears does not consist in ridding yourself of
various conditions in the outer. Many people think that fear is
caused by outer conditions, dangers we may be facing, but this is
not true.

We have been conditioned to fear over a period of time, so we tend
to react to whatever occurs at that particular level of awareness.
To a large extent we experience what we expect and therefore we
create or attract whatever it is we fear.

A healthy child never needs to be told to play, or even how to
play; the child runs, makes believe, climbs, creates, invents,
attempts. The universal law of life moves within the organism and
its indwelling intelligence to do naturally and easily that which
is their nature to do.

Do you ever have to remind a fearful individual or worrier to
become anxious about something or other? Hardly! She is a worrier;
therefore she worries and is fearful. Thus, she can be relied upon
to be afraid. She really knows better, and from time to time makes
a resolution to not react in such a way, but it is difficult for
she is essentially that kind of a person and that is the way she
justifies it by saying something such as “Oh, I suppose I’m just a
worrier by nature!”

Jesus reminded us that we are not only human; we are children of
God, spiritual beings, God’s greatest possibilities. Yes, of
course, we may have tendencies toward complexes and aversions and
fears, but there is so much more in all of us.

Don’t ever cover up or brush aside your fear or anxiety with such
excuses such as, “I’m just that kind of person,” or “It runs in my
family,” or whatever. Resolve to make a new beginning for yourself
today in the matter of awakening the divine spark within you, your
God-self.
Confucius once said, “A man filled with truth has power over heaven
and earth, God and devils; nothing in the universe can influence
him; water and fire cannot cause him to fear.” All of us need to
become filled up with truth. This will lead us to creativity,
success, abundance, beneficial experiences. It will, in short,
enable us to fulfill our potential.

Over the great entrance of a majestic European cathedral is carved
this statement, “Fear knocked at the door; Faith opened it; no one
was there.”
You must discipline yourself to confront experiences, to open new
doors with faith. For there is in you something that is equal to
anything that may happen in the world about you; so act with your
entire strength. Stand tall, feel tall, and think tall. Consider
yourself at all times covered with the protecting influence of
divine love, because you certainly are.

Discipline yourself with positive, creative thinking in order to
overcome fear. Turn away from and de-emphasize notions that you
can’t do this or that you are afraid what will happen. You have got
to promote yourself. Say to yourself that you are the greatest.
This is not egoism; you are thinking of your potential and you will
give actuality to your greatness by the way you go on to produce
it. Fill your mind with truth.

Sometimes we go to bed at night with a head full of trouble, having
read the newspapers and watched the television news and conversed
with friends or loved ones. We need to take time before dropping
off to sleep to reject the sordid, sinister complications that
exist and fill our minds with something positive to ruminate on, to
give ourselves a mindful of peace.

A wonderful affirmation that I have found helpful the last thing at
night is, “I release everything and everybody to God, and I am
lifted into a new awareness of safety, security, and peace.”

Perhaps you are fearful about your physical condition; if you are,
this is unrealistic because the real of you is the dynamic,
spiritual life of you. Fear is really a sense of separation, of
thinking that you might run out of life or energy. But you can
never be separated from life; life has hold of you and will never
let you go.

Do you feel a sense of dismay over your increasing age? Maturity is
a fact, and gray hair and wrinkled skin are normal. There’s a
lovely thought expressed by the poet Browning when he says, “Grow
old along with me; the best is yet to be; the last of life for
which the first was made.”

He was not speaking debilitation and insecurity; he is talking
about maturity, about letting go of things we can very well get
along without. The cult of youthfulness is somewhat unfortunate;
people are starting earlier and earlier to fear age, not realizing
that life is a process, not a station. It is important to grow up
and to grow out of the conception of physical beauty as the
absolute be all and end all of things.

Do you have a fear of lack? How often what is referred to as
frugality is really fear. The recluse who hangs on to strings and
old newspapers and keeps his money under his mattress is a person
possessed with fear.

Our own fear of lack often impels us to save our best clothes for a
special occasion, our best table linens for some as yet unplanned
for party; and how often do the clothes go out of fashion or the
table linens disintegrate before they are used?

One man having been retired from his job, sat all alone late at his
desk on the evening of his final day of work. Feeling bitter,
insecure, and fearful, he noticed a tiny spider tumble off a ledge
into the air and instantly spin a silky filament, letting itself
carefully and safely down to the floor.

The man suddenly realized that if such an unprepossessing creature
could go off into the unknown dependent upon the security within
it, then certainly a human such as he must have that capacity too.

It altered his thinking; he went out and went on, never again to
be held down by fear. He shortly found a place for himself as a
consultant, using his experience and know-how of so many years, and
enjoyed life with far less tension and somewhat more of an income
than ever before. A fulfilling process took place after he changed
his entire attitude.

The fear of death is perhaps the ultimate fear. It is perhaps at
the root of most, if not all, fears. It is the result of feeling
that life is static, that one is born at a moment in time and that
the end likewise comes at a moment in time.

There is a great need to realize the essential continuity of life,
that life is eternal, without beginning, without ending; and there
is a need to open our consciousness to a greater awareness of life
where death is not real. Physical death is a fact and something
that comes to each of us, but it is not the truth of life; the
truth is that life is eternal. When you dissolve fear of death, you
take a giant step toward victorious living.

When a fear-thought comes, rely upon your consciousness of oneness
with God; always remember that fear is the reaction to an illusion
based upon thought separation. Keep your mind filled with truth;
don’t dwell in darkness and fear, always keep the lights turned on.

God is blessing you right now!
