A Lesson on Fear. (2)

A Thought Adjuster Speaks - Lesson # 19
January 19, 2004.

At times it is very difficult to face the unknown, due to fear caused by uncertainty. Only after one is totally rooted in faith and trust in a Higher Power, will fear be eradicated. Fear is an inborn characteristic in the human race, and as long as fear remains, this animalistic tendency remains. It is a legacy of the ages-long evolutionary struggle for survival. In the earliest days, when human will first appeared in the mind of your forebears, every shadow represented something to be feared and nights were especially frightening. Decisions needed to be made, and courage was needed to investigate the supposed fear as the awakening mortal mind had an insatiable drive to investigate, and therewith choices and decision-making presented themselves.

Even now, human infants are insatiably curious about the world that surrounds them, and so the investigation begins. This ought never to be constrained, although safety precautions remain a factor. By putting the infant or toddler in front of electronic equipment at too-early a time impedes the natural development of the brain, and stops the necessary connections from being made, so ‘some doors must stay closed,’ so to speak, for more wholesome learning, and for the child to entertain itself, rather than being entertained, whereby a laziness of mind occurs. Be always on the alert if they ‘must’ watch, what they watch, for not everything is suitable for tiny impressionable minds, and this can instill fear as way too many programs tend to do, and this is definitely not recommended.

Rather help young ones along by explaining to them that when, for example the weather gets ‘out of control’ in the form of thunderstorms, hurricanes and the like, that this is just nature and not an act of an offended and angry God as is still believed by too many people. The time has come to throw off these shackles of this puerile and superstitious belief. Mankind has to stop with assigning human emotions to the eternal Creator, who is far above this sort of infantile thinking.

Time has come for the mortals on this planet to wake up to the fact that all are sons and daughters of this self-same Creator, who really does not care what He/She/It is called, as long as they call on Him. God is above gender description, but is often portrayed as a Father to make easier for human understanding the infinite unconditional Love God has for His evolving mortal children. You are all only just starting out on this faith adventure of becoming perfect. Therefore, fight fear with all your might, as it is a spirit-poison in the mind, threatening at times to overtake you, and then a paralysis sets in, which is almost impossible to overcome except by staying in close contact with the Divine Indweller, who is the Remover of all fear.
