“WHAT FEAR BRINGS”

Have you ever heard this before?

It’s said that people have 60,000 to 90,000 thoughts a day. Of these, 80% are negative, and according to some psychological data, 96% of negative thoughts never actually happen.

In other words, they are merely delusions in the mind.

So, what exactly are we doing when we “fear and desperately try to avoid the realization of a future that may or may not happen—a future that we can never know at the moment, that is, an unreality that hasn’t even happened yet—based on the assumption of ‘thinking’ it’s real”?

Furthermore, most ultimately, the truth remains that no matter what thoughts are, they can neither define the personal “I-self,” nor are they unique to that “self,” nor do they even prove the existence of such a “self.”

This is by no means to say that “such thoughts should not be had” or “negative thoughts should be ignored.”

Certainly, there are countless stories that encourage changes in personal behavior to focuse only on the positive aspects to change reality, and stories of how “reality actually changed” as a result. However, these stories only focus on the doingsness of the personal “I-self.”

They don’t focus on beingness itself, much less on how their perception of themselves (the world) affects reality.

Even if we can think that way, or try to convince ourselves of it, and moreover, even if it seems as though we’ve been able to change reality, these are all superficial and temporary. The “fear” that has seeped deep into the depth of our unconscious will never disappear through such means.

In that matter, ultimately, whether our thoughts are positive or negative—whether our (re)actions stem from a delusion of a frightening of future, or are driven by another fear only disguised as positivity—we still remain trapped with duality. And within such the same duality, the inevitable liberation from the unconscious, that is, as a result of being relaxed as pure beingness, non-self, awareness as absolute peace, through seeing through the truth, can never occur.

In fact, throughout human history, whether religious, social, political, or personal success philosophies (all of which exploit the “fear” in people’s unconscious), there has never been a single instance where permanent, fundamental change or transformation occurred without a person seeing through the underlying causes of their own words and (re)actions.

There’s a way of thinking, or rather a method, that suggests we can change the world by consciously choosing “love” through the question, “Fear or love?”, but even that ultimately boils down to the same thing.

What is called “love” in that context is completely different from “unconditional love by non-self,” and in reality, it is nothing more than attachment by the personal “I-self.”

In reality, every positivity is always accompanied by negativity whether it is obvious or not, and it is a natural law that they can never be divided, and wipe out one side completely.

The truth is, true love and peace are never dualistic; they are always non-dualistic, impersonal, and absolute.

And that is precisely the essence of beingness as awareness, far beyond the individual.

Furthermore, the “unconsious fear” that arises from the misperception of “separation” makes us strongly believe we have something to protect, such as “I-self” or family, and due to such unconscious influence, we unavoidably keep creating the conflicts endlessly.

Thus, all lives trapped in duality, and all attempts to change the world including personal efforts for changing oneself, after all, will result in repeated suffering in various way.

Paradoxically, when we carefully inquire the “self” through the purest and most transcendent awareness, as the clarity of innermost stillness—it’s never for pursuit of any particular state, or for reflection on or improvement of something we perceive as ourselves—but only with that clarity, openness, transparency of it that various lies, assumptions, identifications, illusions, or fears, or everything that is neither permanent or absolute can be naturally dissolved by being seen through, and thereby, awareness is liberated from the cage of the unconscious fundamentally and spontaneously.
