Fear --my two cents

[Guest guest]

I totally agree with Chris: approaching entities with love dissolves

the fear (in fact, I learned the trick from him, and it works like a

charm!). There seem to be other types of fear, though. One that I can

think of is fear of loss: loss of one's health, life, loved ones, job,

material possessions (etc.). Working on non-attachment can soothe this

fear, and turn it into freedom. Another type of fear is about

negotiating (or struggling over) the boundaries of one's ego. I

suspect that a lot of fights, struggles, even wars are caused by the

attempt to protect egos. Realizing the fundamental unity of all things

can take care of the ME factor, and help heal this fear and all the

trouble it causes.

 

Somewhere I read that all fears are caused by the absence of love. It

might be true after all...
