HOW TO OVERCOME FEARS

It has been quite interesting how synchronicity works. I have been attempting to clean my office out, purging my paperwork. As I love books, I found a little red hard covered book from the Unity School of Christianity, written in 1958.

Now many of you were not even born, and some of us were just very young children. I was about to include this book with many others who were finding a new home, when something made me stop and open it, and as I sat down to review it, I realized that this was a keeper. One of the chapters which called me was ~ How to overcome fears~ I thought this was so appropriate, as when listening to the media, the pictures being painted are not one of joy and abundance. Therefore, I am going to share some of the information, which I thought so appropriate.

What we understand we do not fear. We gain spiritual understanding through the study of Truth, and when we have built a consciousness of confidence and trust in god, we become courageous souls, easily meeting all that is opposed to the kingdom of God. Everyone of us was given thinking ability when God created us. What we think tends to come into expression through an around us. Most people think of themselves as physical bodies, having minds at the mercy of all that is seen, heard or felt. Just the opposite is true: we are spiritual beings with thinking ability and what we think we can demonstrate or bring to pass.

Now for those of you, who are in the habit of saying affirmations, realize that this was written in 1958, and it is still very present today. When feeling fearful of anything or any person, stop and deliberately repeat (silently or aloud) statements like the following.

I am not afraid (insert person or condition). What I have been seeing or feeling is only a picture in my mind; I now dissolve it and see myself as God sees me - intelligent, kind, loving, peaceful, courageous, powerful, prosperous, happy, protected, guided and free.

There are many other statements, however, I will leave it at this.

So, I ask you, have you come to terms with your fears? Make fear your friend, allow it to come for a visit, but to be short lived.
