In this article I`ll observe the feeling of fear, and also what provokes fear, the main roots of fear and resistance for change.
Also I ll throw light to some other “negative”
emotions like sadness, depression, hatred, anxiety, restlessness.
I.
What are the “negative feelings”
What we call "negative feelings” are the mirror effects
of our deep Shadow Self that resides mostly in our Sub-conscious mind. Because
it is that deep, we rarely are aware of our Shadow Self, which can trigger in
our conscious life situations and feelings, that we don’t understand or don’t
see the source. These negative feelings multiple and has reason to exist,
namely to make us aware of them and become catalyst for change in perception.
When something is labels as “negative” it actually comes as a Sign to look
within us, and see what is there to be changed? In our thought patterns, in our
perception of world, child-memories. That are the signs for inner
transformation.
Be aware too that most negative feelings come from
suppressed emotions from our past (or childhood, past lives), and in major part
are related to other people (usually close family members, lovers and people we
are in relationship). All of that makes the picture quite complicated.
About Sub-consciousness }
The Sub-conscious mind is like a forgotten dark room,
but it can be very chaotic inside. We can throw things in this room without
order. That’s why it needs to be organized and cleansed in certain times. Sub
conscious mind can also hold key to our fears and all suppressed emotions. What
we should not do with all the “dark” emotions is to “suppress them”, so they
are going to the Sub-conscious mind. Because these suppressed emotions create
later ripple effect and the results are felt on the surface. (in conscious
mind).
To explain more clearly, imagine the sub-conscious
mind as a beautiful vast lake. What you see on the surface of the lake,
floating beautiful water lilies, flowers, birds, and stillness. That surface is
the mind. Now see how you go deeper in the depths of the lake, where it becomes
more and more dark. First you see little fishes, stones, treasures, water
plants. Then you will see nothing, as the deeper you go, the darker will
become. That is the sub-conscious mind.
Now imagine you are there, outside of the lake, and
someone gives you an object you totally don’t like, or a feeling, or anything
dark, that you dislike. You throw it inside the lake and it disappears. It goes
deeply to the Sub-conscious. So everything that you like, you take and arrange
it on the surface, and all what you dislike or afraid of, you send to the
bottom of the lake. Then it will appear, so clear and clean picture, everything
will be perfectly set on the outside”. You can invite a friend to stay with you
near the lake, and he will be pleased and not notice anything. Until you
“remember” something forgotten from the objects that you throw down to the
sub-conscious, and that will come back to you.
About Fear }
Fear is
one of the very strong emotions that many times you suppress and throw to the
“bottom of the lake” simply because you cant stand it. But there is danger in
suppressing any emotion, because in this way it will come to you in double way.
Then you should deal with it again and again. The solutions to deal with fear,
as well as other dark feelings, is the following: 1. to be aware of this fear;
2. to cleanse it from your Sub-conscious 3. to substitute fear with the
opposite emotion from the positive range (like love).
The difficulty here is, that you need to consciously
work with that feelings. To write down, to be aware and follow your own Show
side. To work with your shadow, and be aware of it. Otherwise it will come back
to you multiple times. The same way that we work for making the body strong, we
need to work on our mind (consciousness) and our subliminal mind
(subconscious).

Fear is a primal feeling that is essential for humans
and for animals, and has primal instinctive nature. That means feelings are
like colours in the emotional body, they operate with our chakras and affect
the whole energy. Fear as other negative feelings are rooted in the collective
mind and our individual DNA. One of the reason is to trigger ripple effect,
awakening, transformation, change, and finally reach expansion. If you are
staying only on the surface, or in one still position, nothing in your life
will change and nothing will move forward. Humans (as program) need challenges
and need to have obstacles of the negative shadow self, in order to overcome them
and become stronger. In this way fear is emotion that makes you to reach out
and achieve other feelings like strength, confidence, love, trust, letting go.
