Outside the Fear Bubble
Wednesday, September 24, 2008 at 6:16AM I was talking with my friend Mitch last night and he stated an excellent point. He said, "Fear separates us from freedom." True, true, true.
Fear can separate us from freedom, because it has certain abilities and traits. Here are just a few.
1. Fear causes us to contract and pull back rather than expand and interconnect with other [where can have friendship and support]. As a matter of fact, fear can drastically alter the nature of our relationships that we have with each other.
2. Fear distorts how we interpret and experience our past and present moments.
3. Fear can sometimes generate so much anxiety that we can actually become immobilized.
4. Fear can alter how we act and re-act to circumstances.
Moving outside the "fear-bubble," requires real effort and work. Moving away from a "fear-based," model of living doesn't just happen on it's own. One pretty good tool for "living," our way out the fear is to rely on so-called "Spiritual Principles," as I've talked about many times before. They have a way of recalibrating our internal GPS (Global Positioning System), so that we can more authentically interact with our present moments.
