Q'uo, "Turn and *look at* the object of fear. Define what it is you fear. Much
of the fear of things is that they are making you feel helpless and powerless.
Look at these feelings. Look at the object of these feelings. Leave the feelings
completely and gaze steadily at the object. See it. Perceive it. In and of
itself it does not stimulate emotion. It simply is. THE FEAR IS AN ENTITY WHICH
IS A KIND OF QUALITY. Only by choice can it be attached to any object. It is a
modifier of objects as your adjectives are modifiers of words. As nouns are
distorted by their qualifying elements, adjectives, adverbs, dependent clauses,
so is your consciousness disturbed by fear, when it has been attached to an
object. Detach it from the object, and you may see that it is not your fear. It
is not anyone else?s fear. It is a quality known as fear which modifies the
opinion of an entity who chooses to perceive through the lens of fear some
certain object. Remove the fear; gaze at the object. You
cannot own fear. You can only borrow it from the stockpile of possible
qualities. Like all negative and positive emotional sets, it is not personal. It
is not yours. It is not anyone?s. It is a potential quality of feeling and
thought.
Now, let us turn and ask ourselves why this fear is necessary spiritually. Each
is aware of the nature of third density. It is a density of opposites. Where
there is love, there is fear. Other terms for love and other terms for fear
exist. Where there is good, there is evil. Where there is light, there is
darkness. Where there is hope, there is despair. Where there is compassion,
there is bigotry, prejudice. Where there is life-saving grace, there is
life-killing brutality. The spiritual entity must face the fact that it always
has a choice. It does not feel, seem, appear or look to the senses as though in
many cases one had options. Examine any situation which seems without possible
options for the feeling tones of fear, whether they be angry fear, frustrated
fear, terrified fear, or the fairly purely perceived fear of helplessness and
powerlessness. Lack of control is the BASIS for *reaching out and pulling into*
the life experience this quality of fear. It is a simple choice. When
fear is felt, and after it is recognized that the self is not fixed, and it
does not have to fix fear to any object, it then is aware that it may proceed
further, and gaze at the object of fear to find a positivity or affirmative
quality which may be seen to be that which love offers in that same object of
attention. You *cannot blink* when you gaze at the object which is causing you
fear, because it is up to you to choose how you shall respect this object. Shall
you respect it by fearing it, by bowing before it, by accommodating yourself to
it regardless of the cost? Or shall you *relate to this in love*, offering it
the respect of compassion, and, in many cases, the appreciation of, and respect
for, opportunities that may seem very, very challenging?
The vibrations of negative emotion are most uncomfortable, especially to that
portion of the self that is attempting to become more loving. But one cannot
move from fear to love and expect love to overcome anything. This is a
misunderstanding of the suggestion that love does cast out fear that is found in
your holy works. Love is not aggressive. Love does not cast out. Anger may cast
out, but that is not clear, openhearted love, but rather a blocked, and
incorrectly or inexpertly expressed love
Fear, and the expression of fear, can be balanced by looking at the object of
the fear, and then **allowing love to teach, from within, in its own time,
amidst confusion and darkness, how to see taht same object affirmatively**.
Thusly, love casts out fear when love is invoked as a quality which will modify
the noun of that object. Fear is no noun; fear is not a thing. The self which
fears is not a thing, but an experiencer of illusion. Learning spiritually
involves moving beyond that illusion in blind faith, and INVOKING A HIGHER
TRUTH, higher than can be comprehended by the mind within the illusion. One must
trust one?s heart for spiritual wisdom, for it is not within the mind. The mind
overcomes, the heart loves, and when the heart is actively loving an object,
*fear does not have room to modify that same object, unless the love is not
complete*. And when one sees oneself in mixed feelings, one must once again face
the object, for it is that catalyst to which you may choose your
response. You may choose creatively, you may choose positively. You have these
options *at all times*.
Before we leave this instrument we would like to express that it is
understandable in the extreme that this concept is difficult to put into
practice in the third-density life experience. It is the calling into action of
higher truths, of non-word modifiers to word-type objects. You invoke a concept
to modify a word. You *invoke infinity to modify finity*. The subtleties of this
process are many, many layered. As you unearth one layer of a circle of fear
within personality, you are not finished, for you will find a deeper layer, and
a deeper, and a deeper, until
*finally you find yourself in the womb being forced out, and learning what it is
to feel abandoned, helpless, and above all, completely alone. THAT IS FEAR, and
*you are no longer helpless.**
