Michael Singer On Fear

You don't want to be locked in the prison of your fears.

Michael A. Singer

Singer echoes what I have been writing about for years...what the book I am rewriting/revamping is all about. Of course, he isn't regurgitating what I have written or what I think...it seems infact that I am the one regurgitating what he teaches, says, thinks. Truth is, we just think alike.

Anyway, to honor his teaching today I will qoute him directly.

The mind has 7000 things that cuold bother it. And the world could do 7 million things that could bother the inside.You are not going to fix it [by attempting to change the outside]? What is the alternative if it bothers me? To learn to be okay that it bothers you.

If you say "I can't handle it," it will bother you. If you say," I can handle it", it won't

Learn to relax in the face of the tendency to resist.

There is no way you are controlling that outside every moment of your life in a way that the inside doesn't get bothered by it.

It will stop bothering you when you stop being bothered by the fact that it is bothering you.

"Is it reasonable that I am bothering myself about it?"

Learn to be okay that it bothers you

Can you be comfortable with the fact that it is uncomfortable? If the reward is big enough!

I am going to go deeper even if it is bothers me

The deeper you go inside, you will start to feel the energy opening up inside of you...get comfortable with not feeling comfortable.

The more you are comfortable with being uncomfortable, you become comfortable.

Fear is at the root of the discomfort.

You're inside; you're not outside. Your outside conditions mean nothing.
