Does Fear Have You?

What is fear? I define fear as lack of trust in future. You decide about future based on what you know about past. For example, you will fear failing again, if you have often experienced failure. Humans are creatures of patterns. Your patterns build comfort with the known experience of failure. Your patterns build anxiety with the unknown experience of success. No one thrives on anxiety. Your natural reaction to anxiety is avoidance. Avoidance causes you to remain in failure and your experience of additional failure furthers your fear level. You are convinced that you cannot succeed.
 
Cyclic increase, of any given emotional state, is a “positive feedback loop”. Positive is not used to mean good, but rather perpetual. Your thoughts flow like streaming water through predictable patterns that create positive feedback loops. A “negative interjection” works to interrupt the positive loop, much like a flat object placed in streaming water, causing the stream to change direction. You possess the power of free-will and that free-will can interject change in your thought loops, which alters your patterns.
 

Likely, you were not taught that there are alternate ways to view life events, let alone how to manipulate your thought loops in ways that benefit you. The more you think of what you fear, the more powerful your fear becomes because the energy of fear is feeding back on itself making it stronger. You have no choice but to participate in the energy system that creates our physical world, but you do have a choice about which part of it you participate in.
 

Although the physical world is polarized, meaning black and white, hot and cold, etc., there are usually three options to be had when choosing a path, or feedback loop. The reason there are three choices is because the middle is part of the choice. Black and white also contains grey. So what does this mean for the feedback loops of your thoughts?
 

If you can choose fear, then there are still two other options that you might want to know about. Since fear is based on the unknown future, then one option is to focus your thoughts on the present moment. Are you ok right now? Are you alive? Even if you are hungry, in the cold, sick or even dying, your fear is based on the future unknown. One choice is to stay present, which is the same as saying stay in the middle.
 

The next option is to go to the other end of the spectrum and experience love. You may ask, “How can I possibly do that when my life is falling apart?” Some of you have the capacity to see your life falling apart as a good thing. You may understand that things have to fall apart in order to be rebuilt anew. There may be your dream life waiting on the other end of hard times. You never know.
 

Some of you can go to the love side of perception and hold it. Some of you can go to the love side for glimpses, and some of you can’t get there at all. That’s all ok. You don’t have to go that far. In the middle is perfect. Actually, in the middle is the easiest one to hold. If you try to go from fear to love, you’ve just set yourself up to go back to fear again in order for energies to find balance.
 

What does this mean for your feedback loops? If you have a positive feedback loop designed in fear, then you will need to go to the middle option as a negative feedback step. Going to the middle is change enough. Going to the opposite end puts too much ‘spin’ on the energy of the positive loop and creates chaos, much like a whirling tornado. Going to the middle allows the spin of the positive feedback loop to slow down and get still. You need to hold it there for a good while before you try creating a love-based loop.
 

The neutral patterned positive feedback loop is in my view, the ideal thought system to have. Obviously you can’t be neutral all the time because our society isn’t set up for that, but you can start practicing.
 

What does neutral look like? It looks like letting go of wanting; it looks like trusting that everything is in right order because God, or those higher than you, have it all under control and they have no desire to hurt you; it looks like stopping your fearful thoughts by shifting your focus back to what is in front of you in the present moment.
 

Changes bring fear of the unknown future. Getting through fear can be done, not by clinging to the old system, but by using what we do know, neutrality, to embrace the new system and move boldly forward.
