FDR once said, there is nothing to fear but fear itself. But it appears reality is not so simple....

"Aries fear nothing man."


Aries DO fear. There were moments in my life when I have been overwhelemed by fear, and it is one of my major weaknesses. But given the nature of my sign, I have confidence that fear is not going to be a problem in our lives. Every aries will eventually get over their personal fear at somepoint in their lives and accomplish something phenomenal, simply becauuse it runs in our blood. Being called wimps is one the most disgracing insults you can give to an aries, becuase its our sign's nature to fight against it.

I am hoping for some personal input and experience on fear, and how to deal with it or cope with it.

"Freebird, I do not agree. Not all fears are associated with death. Fear is one of the most life-inhibiting of all emotions."

hi red_aries,

Perhaps you may have misunderstood what I have posted and perhaps I was not clear enough.

Most people on our planet are very much afraid of death and what it represents - fear of the unknown. When living their lives with this "fear" they are not truly living their lives from a place of non-fear also known as, love. We then may conclude that even though they fear death, they fear living life even more. So......what I had said in my previous post was that once one UNDERSTANDS death/transistioning then they become free to live their life with complete joy and love without fear being present in their lives.

"Fear is one of the most life-inhibiting of all emotions." if this truly is your thought then yes, you are 100% correct.

Let me ask you - what exactly is FEAR? it is nothing...it does not exist until one chooses a thought and believes it.

ex. - one person may have fear based thoughts on living alone where another will look at living alone as the coolest adventure.

Here is the defination of "fear" - false evidence appearing real.

It simply does not exist unless you choose for it to.

The only thing I fear is the pain during the dying process .. death itself is not what people are afraid of ..

.. it's the suffering.


It's the burning alive

Being crunched in a crashed car yet still alive to feel the pain

Lungs filling up with fluid while drowning (ever inhaled liquid into the wind pipe? Hurts like hell - imagine a whole gulp)

A wild animal latching on to your throat

The fear of a plane falling out of the sky with you in it



Death, itself, normally doesn't scare people, for we comprehend that our spirits will move on to another level of existence.

It's HOW we are going to die that is frightening.

That would be awesome, FB .. I'd wager that most people like to imagine it the same way.

Wouldn't it be nice if reality coincided?

Ages ago when I used to work for Hospice, watching death was an everyday occurance. I assure you .. most people don't die peacefully, even with loved ones by their side .. once your lungs start struggling to process oxygen sufficient for your brain .. the body starts to feel like it's being crushed as it dimishes.

Sort of like, if you went out of our atmosphere, where there was no oxygen to breathe .. your lungs would make you feel like you are imploding in on yourself .. and this is what happens right before death when a person goes into respiratory distress.

Even the patients who were sleeping before their lungs started collapsing .. woke up. So, I'd wager there is no such thing as dying in your sleep either.

Fantasies are great though 🙂🙂

"Wouldn't it be nice if reality coincided?" PA, it does.

I too have worked in Hospice for a few years and interestingly enough all of the people that I helped transistion, did so in a very peaceful way. It was an incredible experience for myself and for the family members who also were present. I have not experienced what you have described in your post - I am not saying that it does not happen but what I beleive to be true is....we experience what we think about = The Law of Attraction.

LOA don't work that way ..... they are awareness based, and humans are ignorant based.

We think about what we wish for things to be .. rather than what they are in reality .. so, what it brings is an illusion if there isn't any awareness of the darkness.

To want to be positive is a good thing .... ONLY if there is realization that negative exists. If there's no realization that negative exists, then this positive isn't that at all, rather an illusion of what you want life to be, rather than what it actually is.

At any rate ... as stated, the only thing I fear is suffering at time of death.

FB ... you're not understanding what I'm saying.

I'm talking about blindness ... about ONLY recongizing the positive because that's what you want to believe life is, so therefore a person who does this has set themselves up to bring to them a fantasy through Laws of Attraction, rather than what is in reality.

This is just like having blind faith in a god .. no matter what they do in life, they will be forgiven, so therefore there is no accountibility, no recognition that anything they do is wrong.

Without realization of the negative .... there is no true positive, and if a person only recognizes the positive, then LOA will bring to them a fantasy in which they wish to live, rather than what is in reality.

Here's an example of what I'm saying:

I smoke 3 packs of cigarettes a day ... but, hey .. I WISH to have a peaceful passing, with no struggling .... oh, I have this delicious fantasy and LOA will bring it to me because I am blind to the negative, ignorant that darkness exists and whatever I'm thinking about will come true. I want to only have good thoughts about how beautiful my death will be and everybody will be standing by my side.

In reality .... I will be gasping for air, terrified because I REFUSED to acknowledge that negative exists because LOA will give me what I ask for.

When growing up, there was this Catholic family right next door from us and they were good little lambs (on Sunday mornings) ... then spent the rest of the week, sinning their asses off. No worries though because through Jesus they will be saved no matter how bad they were.

There's no accountibility in this .... yes, we create our realities, FB, however, if a person is ignorant then what they create is ignorance and they have no idea because they are blind ..... what LOA will bring them is a fantasy ... just like a person who lives in sin, is a sinner, right?

Believe what you want to believe, I would say to my neighbors ..... life will bring to what you live, no matter what the forked tongue wishes for.

That is a valid fear, Eu ... one that most people don't even contemplate, and perhaps they should.

We are led to believe that there is life after death .. in fact, some people cannot wait to meet their maker, their god .. and yet, we don't know this to be on the conscious level, as we interpret consciousness.

For example: If, let's say, reincarnation exists and we have all incarnated many times to the earth plane .... we have no awareness of this. If there is a consciousness, it is blank to us .. it doesn't exist within our reality of having any kind of mind.

What if there isn't anything? We all say there is because that is what we are led to believe so we won't scare the hell out of ourselves ... but, there is no reality to this .. just a blind faith that it exists because that's what we want to believe ....

.. but, what if it's not?

Who in here has died and can verify that a consciousness exists after death from the flesh. What person ANYWHERE can verify this?

What if there is nothing ....... the end and nothing more?

What is "accountibility" and how do you know forsure that there is none - this is only your perception. "if a person is ignorant" who makes the judgement that a person is ignorant? and how do you know they are? how do you know they are "blind?" these are only your assumptions my dear. LOA is only a fantasy? who says? it is what it is and we can all choose to call it what we desire.

Our main goal while living on Planet Earth is to enjoy it and our time here - how we acheive this is through our thoughts - if you choose to live your life with neg. thoughts so be it - if you choose to focus on positive thoughts...so be that too. I choose the positive, I am a person who has always been responsible - if one chooses to see my life as a fantasy, good on them...what matters to me is that I am having the time of my life and enjoying each moment.

PA, this is exactly what I am saying - your belief is you will be gasping for air because you are terrified because you REFUSED to believe in the positive. It seems to me by what you have said that you totally do not believe in the law of attraction or the power of our thoughts or that our thoughts create our reality.

Negative and postive both exist....pick one and focus on it.
Abundance and lack both exist...pick one and focus on it.
Love and Fear both exist....pick one and focus on it.

or pick both and you will experience both.....

You aren't getting it ... I'm not making the determination of what or who is ignorant .. people do so themselves by not acknowledging that it exists ... light only exists because there is darkness.

Without the earth, there is no sky
Without up, there is no down

This isn't an assumption of mine, FB .. this is reality.

I understand LOA, and I know it exists ... my point was that people call to them blindly, ignorant of how this works.

My husband not too long ago, kept saying, "I don't want to be poor. I don't want to be poor"

And I asked him, "What are you doing"

"Law of Attraction, Angie .. I want to be rich."

"You have to ask for rich, not poor. It hears 'poor'.

So, my point was ... without the realization of negative in ignorant thought patterns, LOA won't bring you what you want.

I know you don't get that .. most people don't ..

---------------

Alright, FB .. explain the positive to me then, as it pertains to smoking .. that was the situation in which you say I refuse to see the positive in it.

We should all smoke then and not have any concerns .. because we can choose to believe that it's positive?

You're not getting my point ... that is your choice. You can't wish upon a star and actually believe it will come true, simply because a fairy told you it would.

It will come true because you held yourself accountible for your actions and made it happen through determination, and hard work.

Wish for money through LOA and it will bring you a JOB ... not cash

Why is that so hard to comprehend?

"Wish for money through LOA and it will bring you a JOB ... not cash"

very limited thinking here - or rather very specific which is good but also remember, if this is your thought, this is what and how you will create your monies.

I have asked for money and guess what? it came and it was not through a job! I desired to go on a cruise (never been on one before) ended up meeting a girl the other day and we hit if off wonderfully - she asked me to join her on a cruise with herself and a few of her friends! *no, she had no clue that i was interested in experiencing a cruise.

I truly do believe in miracles and because I choose to believe this way, this is what I experience daily. Perhaps I am asking in the correct way or perhaps my belief is so strong in knowing that it will happen that it does.

I must be doing something right because it is working 😉

"Of course people are scared of what's after death"


You are afraid of what's after death, because this is what you stated and I am assuming here that you've make up your mind, so therefore, you are STILL afraid of what's after death.

However, this isn't an "Of course people are .." because several people have expressed that they hold no fear of this.

"Everybody has a mind and everybody is inspired and pulled towards a direction to ponder, whether the good or bad, scorpio or not. Take me for example."

I will indeed .. take you as an example .. you brought up the topic of fearing that there might not be a consciousness after death, and when I elaborated on it, to agree with you that this could be a valid fear ..

"Best not to talk about or think on it. It's a directionless subject that I don't intend on contemplating."

.. you freaked the fuck out, and clammed up like a little girl who's too scard that monsters might be in the closet. Best not to talk about it or think about it .. why is this, exactly? Because it might hear you and come find you?


lol .. when you get balls, you can find me in here somewhere.

That's great, FB .. it means you're not being ignorant and actually asking for what you want instead of what you don't want. However, you are still refusing to believe that people actually don't comprehend Quantum Physics, and so only get a fantasy, and only create more of what they don't want, then what they do.

However, you are happy and that's all that matters .... trying to get others to comprehend isn't your problem because you don't want it to be so, so it won't.

At any rate ... have a happy time in your adventures 🙂

"You're not getting my point ... that is your choice. You can't wish upon a star and actually believe it will come true, simply because a fairy told you it would." ------> again, this is YOUR thought and for you, it is correct and this will be your experience.

I have personally experienced wishing for something and out of the blue it has manifested itself. Reason being - my thoughts are different than yours and so shall my experiences be.

It will come true because you held yourself accountible for your actions and made it happen through determination, and hard work. ------> when one is in the flow of life, life happens very easily and effortlessly. How do I know this? this too has been my experience.

Very simple really (at least I think so) find your desire, feel it within your body, know that it has already come to pass, believe it. Done.

"Impossible, one cannot fully comprehend death until he beens through it himself. adn no one can come back tot his world again after he is dead."

Hi RA - well for starters...ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE on planet earth. I see that you are 21 yrs. of age. So what you speak of is of what you know at this moment in your life. I personally have been around a wee bit longer which means I have experienced a bit more of life. This does not by any means say that I am better - just that I have experienced more. Ya know that saying, "with age comes wisdom?"

Sometime in your years to come, you will have a much different perspective of life and situations than you do now - it is the process of life and it is ALL good.

Regarding death/transistioning, I have worked with those on this journey - I have listened to them, shared their experiences for they have taught me a lot. We all are temporary visitors here, we are here to learn about who we are and to create our life - we can either make choices to enjoy our journey here ( by appreciating each moment and each person who crosses our path) or we can look for the bad in each circumstance and create a yucky time here.

We do not know how long our time here will be - none of us do. So, when you understand that each moment is a gift and it is up to you to create IN that moment - you will find your treasure. There are no guarantees that there will be a next moment.

I hope I was able to be more clear this time.

In-joy! 😉

"As for live for the moment, how can live at the moment when time passes no matter what you do? What can you do about this?"


RA .. I would interpret this a different way. What you refer to is that a person cannot live "In" the moment because time continues to move forward, so to live in the moment would have to consist of time standing still .. so in reality, you would be correct .. a person can't live in the moment of time .. for there is always a future.

However, to live "for" the moment is an entirely different thing. To look to the future and make it what you want it to be .. is living for the moment as it passes within the reality you have prepared for it to be by looking forward to it.

In other words .... when the moment gets here to live "for" it, you have already projected what you wanted it to provide, so you're living within this moment for the quality of life you made it to be.

To bring this down to an example to wrap your mind around ... you plan to go to the movies .. you saw ahead of what you wanted this cinema event to be .. so, when it gets here, you're living for this moment to enjoy it.

Eulogy, we are always living in the moment, but our thoughts are never AT the moment...you should try starring at some object for half and hour see what happens.
But you do have some truth, it was possible when we were kids, don't know what happens as we grow up to lose the appreciation of time.


"RA .. I would interpret this a different way.
