Fear Phobia - Learning To Overcome Your Fears

"Liberty or death" is a necessary law of soul growth . . . you will never be free from bondage or domination of others until you are free from fear . . . only you can break the chains that bind you . . . freedom under God is all good . . . you were born to be free . . . put your free will to work to gain the knowledge, experience and self-expression you desire.

Some helpful pointers to aid you in this quest for freedom are:

1. The door that leads into a prison also leads out - the door of thought.

2. Hunger for knowledge will never die, but rather increase in the Soul of man as time goes on. Our need for self-expression increases as we learn more and more.

3. When you want freedom badly enough you will get it.

We are now ready to take the next step in overcoming fear, which is: Learn quickly to trace, place and erase an uneasiness before it becomes a fully developed fear. We do this as follows:

1. When you are conscious of an uneasy feeling, something is not quite right, trace it to its rising point. It will have to do with the threat of some desired good. Name it, as need for a better job, or threat of losing an old one.

2. Remember always, if we had no desires we would have no fears.

3. Name the basic urge, as for eternal life, name the temporary threat, as, no money to maintain earth life and then erase the fear through reasoning. For example, "There is nothing bigger than God's love," etc.

4. Think of the three basic urges and therefore the three basic fears as the three primary colors. For example:

Threats to the basic urge of life are thought of as red - the red blood of life.

Threats to the basic urge of love are thought of as blue - true blue love.

Threats to the basic urge of liberty are thought of as yellow - or light, enlightenment. Light brings freedom.

When you learn to think quickly, "This is only a little old blue fear and I will quickly erase it," you will find your fears having to do with other human beings, your opinion of yourself, and of God and your relationship to Him will no longer give you trouble.

If you have trouble in getting the fear down to a color, or basic urge, ask yourself what it would take to make you blissfully and utterly happy. Then ask yourself what seems to be standing in the way or keeping you from that happiness. This will uncover the fear and you then can trace and erase it easily.

5. Continue to find new information, facts, truth that will set you free from fear by keeping your mind tuned in to the expanding ideas of others who are not afraid. Your daily paper is filled with proof that others are not afraid and are carrying out God's ideas for a better world as rapidly as existing conditions will permit them to do so.
For example:

Nuclear scientist Francis B. Porzel recently said that science "sees God on every frontier."

For example, transportation is taking great strides forward. It is only about fifty years since the Wright brothers first flew an airplane. Hall L. Hibbard, Lockheed's genius who has been responsible for the design and development of many famous military and commercial aircraft, including the Lockheed Constellation, among other predictions made the following:

We will soon have family airsedans that will probably outnumber automobiles and will fly at 500 miles an hour and may even be run by "broadcast power," instead of today's fuels. New York and Amsterdam will soon be about ninety-eight minutes apart. Rocket ships will be used for long flights at speeds beyond our belief.

No one knows how much good is right at hand. Only God knows. If the ordinary person went at life and problems as the scientist does, to get answers and results, without the slightest trace of fear, how wonderful life on earth would be!
