“Just as our culture does not encourage a healthy expression of anger, we are not encouraged to acknowledge and own our fears. Acknowledging fear is often viewed as a weakness, something to be ashamed of. But, I am reminded of Jorge Alfano’s words again: ‘There is nothing wrong with fear. It’s just a sign that you are crossing over into the unknown.’ Yes, crossing over in to the unknown, the unsure, the untried, the unproven, the untested waters. Fear is often a natural response. Honoring it within ourselves and then walking into that fear in order to take the next step is an essential part of our spiritual and human journey.” -Alan Seale
Spirit response: Fear is an ego response. Soul does not understand or know fear; it is a completely foreign concept to the soul. Fear comes when you are not able, for whatever reason, to stay with soul guidance; not able to stay in each moment as it comes. It enters at any point that the flow of Love stops.
Ego lives either in the past or the future, not in the present moment. To be in the moment means surrendering to Spirit or Higher Self. Ego, in its healthily balanced state with soul, is very necessary to allow you to see past and future. It allows you to see where you have been and learn, grow and benefit from those experiences. Ego allows you to look into the future to chart your course for fulfilling your physical-plane mission. However, when ego is out of balance and begins to control soul, it will immediately gather power and keep the individual locked in past or future in order to maintain its control. When you can focus your attention in the moment, soul can come back into its leadership role.
