Breaking the Fear of Believing
When we first begin on this journey, we face many pieces of ourselves that, with good intentions, stand in our way. We face doubt, and fear, and even the lingering effects of trauma. It’s easy to say to let those things go, but much harder to actually do.
Letting go of these things, or what many people call “releasing resistance” in manifesting, is an important step in conscious creation, and in the greater goal of acknowledging our true selves as the operant powers in our own respective realities. Fear can act as a shackle that tethers us to the “realness” of our 3D world. For many of us, fear keeps us from the change we seek.
But it’s important not to resent fear, or make it an enemy in our lives.
Fear serves a purpose, and it is an important purpose in our human existence. Fear protects us, taking our beliefs and assumptions and guarding us against things that would harm us. Fear influences our behaviors to keep our bodies and minds safe. Fear indicates what our assumptions are, and tells us how to behave in the world those assumptions have created. We know not to jump off a cliff in our pursuit of flight because fear knows we are human, and we will fall.
For the safety it provides, in many ways we should be grateful for fear. We don’t need to demonize fear or make it our enemy, but to become enlightened, aware, divine creatures, our relationship with fear must change.
It is our relationship with fear that limits us. It is when fear dictates the patterns of our higher mind and our concept of self and desire, that we risk our personal growth and our conscious creations.
Fear sees change as risk and as potentially dangerous, because we assume it to be a possibility. Fear warns us that we might get hurt in pursuit of a desire. Our SP might reject us, or hurt us. Our wealth might not come back. We might not get that new job we want so much.
And, even worse, we might get our hopes up.
The fear of even believing is, like all other versions of fear, is simply our egos trying to protect us from the seemingly unknown. But this fear in particular limits our creative potency by causing us to shy away from true faith in our desires. It’s not without reason, because until we rediscover our true nature, most of us believe ourselves to not truly be in control of our lives. To that person, truly committing to belief in a desired end is foolish; the more faith and belief, the further the fall in the event of disappointment.
We resist our desires to protect ourselves.
Understanding this relationship with fear gives us a chance to redefine it. Like any other relationship, you can set boundaries and respectful standards with fear. In conscious creation, fear must yield to faith to cause physical change, always. Becoming aware of our true nature, as gods of our own realities, requires us to set these new boundaries with fear so that our potential is not hindered by preconceived beliefs and fearful concept of self.
When resistance and fear warn you against faith in your desire, acknowledge the feeling. Relax, sit with it, and allow it to be okay. Then, thank your fear for caring for you in its way, for trying to protect you. Reassure your fear that it is no longer needed in relation to your desire. Reaffirm that desire as a finished and irrevocable truth, and allow your fear to go in peace, with love and gratitude for doing an important job.
Fear may come back from time to time, understandably so. Each time, simply acknowledge it, allow it to be okay, and send it off with gratitude and love. With repetition, it will return less often, and with less intensity each time. There will be a time that you send a fear away with love for the last time, and you will not even know it.
This is how we release resistance, how we “let go” and allow our desires to come.
Yes, letting go of the fear is a difficult step that we all must do to become the best versions of ourselves. But in understanding its purpose, and giving love to our fear, we allow ourselves to move on and accept the gifts the universe has in store for us.
