My Story Page 54: Fear

Now, let us switch from sex to fear.

We need going into the whole dynamics of it, as to how it generates, what all shapes it assumes and how it interferes with the free flow of energy through the human body.

We all are born with it.

Though it is not an instinct, we inherit it as our first and the most basic emotion as we come out of our mother’s womb.

Our life fears immediate death on the fore as we do not know how to breathe, until we start breathing through crying, pushing the threat of death at the back-end as we get involved into the affairs of life.

But the shadow of the death-threat never parts company with us; it keeps hovering around us in the background, coloring every action of our life with different hues of scare into it.

The colors keep changing their hues.

The first hue is that of dependence.

The scared child depends on her/his mother for life as she feeds her/him through her breast.

Later, the child, slowly and gradually, learns standing as well as walking on her/his own; and goes on reducing her/his dependence on the mother.

As dependence reduces, so does the fear!

But then our dependence never completely vanishes, as we physically grow from childhood to being an adult.

It happens so, because as a child we never get an unconditional acceptance of our natural and passionate urges.

Society tends to condition us in its own threatening ways.

Our parents and our teachers tend to suppress all that is natural in us.

For this the tool they use is nothing else but fear, or else they use its anti-thesis that is greed, by showing carrots to us.

Reward or punishment!

So, fear takes another shape now. It turns us greedy.

We want to be rewarded rather than being punished!

Hence we conform to the threatening ways of the society and turn greedy.

Fear of being punished turns us greedy - always wanting to be rewarded!

We never turn into a real adult who stands on his own feet physically, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually. We always look toward others for acceptance.

“What will people say?” becomes the guiding scare of all our actions on earth in life.

“What will God say?” becomes another scare of ours!

We never turn independent.

We never turn adult.

We never are free.

And so, we never are healthy. We always keep ourselves closed, scared that something evil will attack us and harm us hard.

We keep our muscular armor stiff.

Keeping this muscular armor stiff becomes a habit with us, whereas its effect on our body organs disturbs our physiology generating all the chronic illnesses in us like heart conditions, diabetes, spondylitis, headaches, migraine vision problems, thyroid and many more ultimately resulting in loss of immunity against diseases.

Fear does this all to us!

And if we could address our scare in its totality even once in life, we can simply go beyond it for good and gain our health back permanently.

Diamond cuts diamond!

But how to address fear in its totality and keep it there in a controlled way till we are able to go beyond, also taking care that it does not kill us before we get free from it?

This should be one of the most important questions in front of humanity today.

Next week we shall try to go deeper into the question.
