Transforming Fear into Trust
June 4 - 2002

As it was already mentioned, we need to release our hidden emotions of fear to be a clear channel and therefore become able to manifest what our inner guidance will prompt us to do for the perfect unfolding of our personal mission in this lifetime.

Fear is one of the most devastating hindrances to the evolution of Humanity. It is fear that
prevents us from listening to the direct guidance we continuously receive within ourselves as
to what has to be done in every moment of our lives. When we let fear interfere with the normal process of attunement with this inner guiding force that keeps wisely suggesting to us the best path of action or the best attitude in any situation, then we can only be totally confused as to what we should think, say and do.

That is not to say that fear does not have a role to play in our life as a built-in warning system, inherited through millions of years of evolution, and designed to draw our attention to potentially life-threatening situations. However, today it is just not appropriate anymore to let fear overwhelm us, control our behavior and dictate our decisions. It needs to be balanced with the most powerful force of the Universe. And this Force... is Love. For only Love can neutralize fear, open our hearts to the inner guidance and give us the courage to act accordingly. So to overcome fear, we just have to let the Light of Love guide us. Learning to attune to this powerful and beneficial force is as simple as learning to breathe. It comes to us naturally as we begin to open ourselves to the marvelous magic of Life.

The moment we really take the decision, deep within us, to open ourselves to new possibilities and accept as the necessary steps of apprenticeship the experiences appearing on our path of life, then Love can just grow and grow within us until it radiates like a sun through all our being. It is usually a slow process that gradually brings us from the illusion of separation and loneliness, from which fear can but arise, to the awareness of complete and eternal Unity with all that exists.

In this process, all the hidden fears resulting from forgotten childhood experiences gradually
disappear and give way to a new sense of confidence and trust in the benevolence of the Universe. All sorts of techniques exist today to bring hidden fears to the surface of our awareness to be consciously re-experienced, assessed, understood and released. If the need arises to use such techniques to uncover and heal old "scars", it is certainly recommended to seek and use the techniques which we feel are right for us. However, for most people, it is usually possible to attain a high level of trust in the inner guidance and find the strength to act upon it. Through all sorts of experiences, Life is constantly bringing us the right amount of "pressure" to change and evolve and the right mixture of "support" and "encouragement" to keep us going towards the best direction for our inner growth. So we feel that one of the best ways to accelerate this process is to learn to let go of our resistance to change by gradually developing our faith in the Force of Life wisely guiding us.

So all we need is to discover this inner guiding wisdom and grow a strong link of trust and
confidence in its ability to see from a "higher perspective" which path of action is the best for
us. This means opening ourselves to the idea that there is a part of us which is inherently perfect and that we can tap at any time into its wise vision and instantaneous knowledge to solve any problem or bring out the best from any opportunity. Once we have accepted this possibility, we can begin to have more confidence as we gradually experience more of its infinite potential for perfect guidance and appropriate suggestions.

Finally, being involved in any Life-serving activity offers us a wonderful opportunity to learn this. For there is no better way than actually getting involved in some real experience to test our ability to take up new challenges and to grow through the process of implementing an idea into a solidly grounded manifestation. For those interested in pursuing this matter and deepening their understanding and experience of these concepts, there is at the end of this document a description of some exercises that can be helpful in this
process.
