How To Factor Out The Fear
Live A Happy And Successful Life
Even the fear and loathing demonstrated in Fear Factor
doesn't hold a candle to our biggest fear. Whether a fear
of heights, public spaces, or strangers, our daily fears are the
result of an even greater fear that has yet to be disclosed on national
television. To expose your fears for what really lies behind
them requires a thorough examination of your beliefs about life
and death. You can face your fears by facing your fate, without
ever going on television or subjecting yourself to rats, bats or
heights, and discover a life worth living forever.
From maggot-eating, fraternizing with rats in a container
lowered underground, dangling from cars above Las Vegas to who knows
what next, reality television gives us a chance to face some of
our worst fears-- or to discover how far some will go for $50,000.
While each of us may have a fear of flying to one involving spiders,
the winner on Fear Factor is likely to be the one who got lucky
enough not to be challenged with her own fear during that particular
contest on national television!
A client shared his innermost fear of dying penniless; others
have shared fears of intimacy, fears of the dark, fears of their
fathers or mothers, etc. There is no question some of the
fears on Fear Factor or in client's lives are alarming to consider,
and may even be one of our own nightmares, but what is behind all
the fear? Where do fears begin, and most importantly where do they
end?
Many believe fears are the result of a previous and unforgotten
experience; others believe we are born with fears. We know
that babies have a startle reflex to loud noises. Freudian
therapies and others have supplied the world with loads of studies
to indicate the source of our fears and methods including cognitive
behavior therapy and previous life regressions to help us to eradicate
them. Fears affect our navigation of life on this planet,
coping with the bugs, the sounds, the challenges of flying, social
gatherings, driving, etc.
However, the biggest fear of all can't be tested on reality television-- the fear of death. Beneath all fear lurks a fear for your
very survival. Whether we choose to acknowledge it or not,
our fears of everything on the planet are a result of the primary
fear of death, and the fear of death is a byproduct of identifying
with the body as our reality. The fear of public speaking
is the possibility of the ego being judged. Again, the results
of ego identification. If we believed for one minute we didn't
die when our bodies crumble, we would shake all of our fears forever.
We would realize bugs can't truly end our lives, airplane crashes
don't result in a final death, failure is an impossibility, war
doesn't work, and life goes on in spite of appearances. When
we focus on the root of all fear being the fear of death, we begin
to understand that the secret to overcoming our various fears is
a continual and deliberate effort to affirm life. Since life affirmation
and success in life are intrinsically linked, the will to succeed
is capable of propelling us beyond all trepidation.
So, if you are sincerely interested in overcoming fear it will
be necessary to change your beliefs about life. How can you
do that? Our perceptions about life and death are philosophical
to begin with, and studying the beliefs of different cultures is
a great starting point. Many indigenous cultures, including
the Native Americans didn't fear death. It was embraced as
an aspect of life-- a continuation of eternity. Rather than an end
of life, it was perceived as a beginning of new adventures.
Beyond cultural studies are the challenges of personal exploration
of each and all of our beliefs.
Meditation is one method used to encourage self-exploration and
has been demonstrated by yogis and others to culminate in knowledge
of the truth that we are not our bodies at all, and that the body
is simply a temporary structure enabling us to negotiate the planet
while we are here. Many argue that meditation can take years
of practice to bring us to awareness of the truth, but that doesn't
have to be the case. The desire and the willingness to know
the truth is the primary prerequisite to change. You can begin
with Magical
Meditations, four meditations that will assist you in reaching
new levels of awareness. Each meditation will enhance your sense
of Self, as you tap into your inner truth, release the past and
your fears, and you energize through nature.
In addition, you can further explore and eliminate your fears
by committing to a plan for 21 days of personal growth and change
with Conscious Choice - Conscious Creation.
You will discover that where there is fear, there is an absence
of love. Love and fear cannot occupy the same residence. Your fears
keep you from establishing healthy, supportive, and nourishing relationships;
they will keep you from fully enjoying life and they will keep you
from the truth.
And, for those of you who want to quickly identify and permanently
eliminate beliefs that are the source of your debilitating fears,
you can arrange a private
consultation with Dr. Alexandra Delis-Abrams. Work directly
with The Attitude Doc over the telephone or in person and your life
will change forever.
In whatever way you feel most comfortable, choose to discover
the truth about yourself and the world in which you live.
Make a commitment to eliminate your fears and your detrimental beliefs.
As you change core beliefs about your reality, you will see the
magnificence in the world around you as it reflects your new beliefs,
born of love rather than fear, and you will know and trust that
life never ends. |
