Fear is your greatest guide. 

Fear is guiding you to become more centred, balanced and objective. 

Today, we will learn insights about fear that will help you understand why you have fear and the role that fear plays in helping you to empower your life.

What exactly is fear and how is it guiding you?

Fear is an assumption that you’re about to experience, through your senses or imagination, more loss than gain, more negatives than positives, more pain than pleasure, more disadvantages than advantages, and more risk than reward in the future. 

So, it’s an ASSUMPTION that you’re likely to have a negative experience.

Fear, also referred to as a phobia or nightmare, has philia or fantasy as its exact opposite, and these work together in the same way as magnets with their positive and negative poles.

Let me explain 

There are two sources of fear in a human experience – the fear of loss of that which you seek, and the fear of gain of that which you are trying to avoid. 

In a relationship, you might become infatuated with someone and fear the loss of them. You can’t separate the two – they are like two poles of a magnet. 

So, there’s no such thing as a phobia without a philia. They are inseparably entangled like two poles of a magnet or two quantum entangled particles.

Now imagine you draw a line right down the center where you embrace both the phobia and the philia, the positive and the negative.

In other words, you remain completely neutral and objective with a balanced state of mind. As you neutralize your emotions and go into this reasonable state, you are likely to get to a point where you don’t have a fear of loss or fear of gain.

Your intuition will always try to help you get to that balanced, objective state.

 If you’re infatuated and only conscious of upsides, it will try and make you aware of possible downsides. If you’re only conscious of the downsides, your intuition will try to get you to see the upsides and bring you back into balance.

So, we could say that fear is a valuable feedback mechanism to let you know that you have a polarized perspective. If you neutralize it, you could become even more of your most authentic or balanced self.
