Fear
of freedom is equaly fear of self-responsibility because it is
widespread to blame someone for our discomfort. The reason is always
lack of self-confidence, as a result of lack of self-knowledge. Those
who do not trust themselves, can not rely on themselves, pay as a price a
deep sense of non-lived life, a nagging restlessness and sadness that
can increase to periods of severe depression and illness.
If we do not follow the call of the heart - our inner voice - out of
fear, if we turn back the offers of life out of cowardice, then we cut
ourselves off from our true nature and thus from our liveliness. If we
do not listen to the voice of our heart and follow it, it will become
more and more timid and quieter and life's offers will gradually
disappear.
Our own protective force occurs when we have defeated the dragon of fear. We realize that there is no reason to be afraid of something because fear is an illusion. Our fears are powerful, but we have the opportunity to protect ourselves by turning to our inner power and being protected by it. It is our life energy to which we can entrust ourselves by visualizing lovingly the contact with it. One of the main fears we have to overcome is the fear of death and, accordingly, of material loss. If we believe that death or loss is the dreaded end or the way to hell, then all efforts to trust life become in vain. But if we believe that death is a homecoming, that by loss we get rid of load, then death or loss is no longer a tragic end, but a benevolent transformation of our reality - accordingly a journey home.
