Nothing to Fear

 The Conditioned Mind makes problems through “I” attachment and although pain and fear are things that may arise they don’t have to be given energy; the only reason “I” does this is so it exist…

Pain is nothing more than a message that arises to tell you something, it’s not something to fear, but it will be feared if it’s not understood and this is because of the relation pain has to “I”. Pain itself doesn’t have an inherent fearing quality, it’s just a word, but when “I” attaches to it it’s given energy and thus it’s given life. This isn’t to say painful things won’t occur in life without attachment, but only the relation to “I” causes issue because of the story ” I hurt” or “I fear” or whatever story is attached to. Fear only exist as a story created by “I” and when one truly learns this, attachment is lessened and so is the associated pain and fear. Be with the pain, but don’t let the fear of it be in control.

When the mind settles pain is seen as something that just arises. All pain whether physical or emotional is temporary, but the mind that fears it becomes entrapped to seeing it as lasting forever. When this occurs pain becomes one’s master puppeteer. Attachment to “I” may not seem to be the cause of what is painful, but it cements it in place and gives it control; this is how “I” works. “I” makes mountains out of molehills through attachment and although pain occurs, it doesn’t have to be given the energy that “I” wants to give it; the only reason “I” does this is to exist. Without “I” there’s no attachment and without attachment there’s nothing to fear, but fear itself…
