Q: Why do I carry so much fear? How can I release the fear and doubts surrounding my life, my career, my being?
JANU: We have this one you speak of and her residence. Fear has gripped this one as it does so many. An examination of the nature of fear would do well at this time.
This phenomenon, this pattern within the memory and subsequently the emotions, is essentially a mechanism of self-protection from anticipated traumatic or negative experience or involvement, you see. Fears can be precipitated by imagined realities or direct observation or experience. The overcoming of a fear, which can be so general in its influence in your life even though precipitated by a single event, is by understanding it and recognizing these patterns for what they are. In this case, dear one, your fear has roots in early childhood when observing your surroundings or atmosphere for being or presence in a school setting. The threat of or implied threat of negative consequences by authorities for so many warned against patterns of conduct and behavior had an overwhelming effect and suppressed the freedom to be expressive and engaging and allowing and forgiving of oneself. This episode triggered old memories of similar nature from previous existences. The pattern of reinforcement for this condition in this life is sufficient to resolve this issue, you see.
Examine closely from your adult perspective the realities of life around you. The less worldly-wise perspective of a young child thrown in the midst of a controlling environment, which to the child bore or held dire consequences for infraction of the rules. These rules or standards, dear one, are arbitrarily chosen and product of what some term consensus agreement. Not necessarily attuned to the sensitive and open nature of a young one looking to life around them as example or model for their identity and worth. This pattern, then, is reinforced in society at large by the impositions of authority and consensus rules for living because the pattern invites it to continue.
There comes a time in the life, dear one, when the wisdom of the soul says “Enough. It is time to move from this imposed pattern of intimidation and suppression of divine right for free expression.” You must make this decision and know that the authority for the choice is larger than these social impositions, you see. These impositions are based upon a lack of awareness of the reality and strength of the wisdom of the inner divine understanding for harmonious behavior and conducting of life. They are formed insensitive to this to large degree and therefore risk the suppression of the inner wisdom for right choice. You must command this once more in your life, dear one, and you have the support of your own true nature and the rest of creation that honors this. Standing, then, in your truth with confidence and connection you become a light of wisdom, balance, and support for others in fear of intimidation by the rules of living, someone disconnected from this larger understanding, you see.
The issue then, dear one, is not the career or the circumstances around you or the impositions of others or the norms of society. The authority for living and expression and successful interaction with life is within you. Let your inner authority and the successful expression of this be an example and an encouragement to those around you. There may be times when some difficulty in interpretation or application due to the diversions or distortions of previous training or conditioning by society brings results you would prefer to be different. No matter, dear one. Continue to move on and make improvements in your interpretation, your understanding of the inner authority for living and its wisdom. It is the correct and natural process towards full self-realization.
An unreasoning fear has no positive place in the experience, dear one. Avoidance of undesirable circumstance and conditions is prudent. Accurate assessment of the potentials for outcome through choices and involvements is wise. But all of these observations are best made from your central authority and the wisdom of your true nature. Take any one incident or pattern in your life that speaks of unreasoning fear and re-examine it from this true perspective within you. Practice this over and over, dear one. It will build in the strength of its presence through application again and again and again. Get your subtler bodies, emotions, and, yes, the memory of the physical as well, for it is recorded there too, used to this new pattern of authority so that these elements of your being no longer look to external authority as their primary guide for being and expression.
The steps in this new direction, in time, will become so automatic and natural for you, you will no longer need to ponder this choice at length with each challenge in life. Apply this procedure as any old fear patterns arise. Let none escape to continue their influence in your life. Be patient with this and tolerant of the self, encouraging the aspects of your being that all will be well and life will be much happier and fulfilling. For you will come in to, as a whole being, your true authority, your divine sovereignty and realize your full capacity to love all life and yourself. Consider the wonderful prospects, dear one, of being an example of this for others within confusion and lack of true authority in their lives. We encourage you and support you for this is the true path of life and fulfillment. We enjoin you to proceed.
We are the Brotherhood of Light and wish you profound happiness and success. Namaste.
