There’s nothing to fear. Everything I’ve ever been afraid of is an illusion. My fear of running out of money, my fear of being a failure, my fear of missing out on life, my fear of not mattering, my fear of being alone. I could go on and on.
All of these fears are illusions because they are born out of the psychologically wounded Vincent, wounded by all the painful things that happened to him like the divorce of his parents, getting kicked out of his company, his heart being broken, being made fun of when little, losing a lot of money, all of these are adverse, in the moment very painful experiences until I start waking up to the blessing in disguise they are.
They are all here to not only show me my wounds and thereby teach me what I need to learn and heal from, they are also here for something much greater: To wake me up to the illusion I made myself into: The idea that I am just Vincent in his physical body, with his certain looks, personality, story, etc. This is a very limited version of me. And one that feels wounded because it feels little and therefore it needs to become someone in this unsafe world.
It has to fight to survive, to make it and live a life free from pain and suffering. That life already exists but it does not exist within Vincent. Vincent can heal these wounds bit by bit whenever they are triggered, and every trigger is a gift, showing him these wounds.
Or Vincent can take one big liberating step realising that Vincent is just an illusion. It is a construct of his mind based on all that has ever happened in his life. It’s a construct based on the past. And the moment he realises that he can take a big, bold step and step out of these memories and this construct entirely and realise his true self: Pure, eternal consciousness.
I am simply the witness of Vincent experiencing life through his personality, his body and his senses. I am the witness of Vincent. I am not Vincent. And once that sinks in and by sinking in I mean once I actually start embodying this profound Truth then things start changing. I start seeing that, really there’s nothing to fear. I am simply consciousness having an experience through the avatar of a body.
And as it says in my currently favourite book Three Magic Words: My body is a product of pure spirit. And spirit is perfect hence my body is perfect also. Once I wake up to that reality, and this is what waking up really is, it is the realisation that nothing is as it seems and that I am not my body but that my body is an expression of pure spirit and that I, who is perceiving everything is pure consciousness expressing itself through my body constrained by time, space, my senses and my limiting beliefs.
So when I not only realise but fully embody that Truth, my body can start to heal because all the limitations I am thinking, the grievances I am holding, and the fears I am having are reflecting themselves in my body and perpetuating themselves in my thoughts which I then, unconsciously, follow and these thoughts then manifest itself again in my physical reality around me and inside my body.
There’s nothing to fear because Reality is upside down, inverted, the other way around, reversed. I am not my body that has a limited shelf life and a mind, an ego that is thinking and needs to survive in a resource constraint environment against other bodies with similar limitations.
No, I am pure consciousness that has taken on limited form to have an experience and to wake itself up from the very limitation it has imposed on itself. And when it does, it realises there is no limitation to it in the first place. And there’s nothing to fear. Death is simply its return to pure, unconstrained consciousness.
Therefore everything is a gift for Vincent to wake up from the limited self that he thinks he is. Whether it is heartbreak to heal from the wound of thinking I am not enough myself or whether it is from losing money to wake up to the reality that I can create my own abundance if I think, believe and live it.
Yes, some of these things still seem a little crazy, a little far-fedged for the little Vincent to grasp - though slowly but surely, piece by piece this is becoming ever more clear in moments of deep prolonged meditation where the borders of my body seem to disappear. Or in daily life when I am observing my thoughts and seeing how they come out of nothing, that they are not me and that the ones I choose, whether consciously or not, are the thoughts that are creating my limited reality.
I am becoming ever more conscious in choosing my thoughts very carefully and thereby my reality keeps expanding and expanding until one day I am fully embodying life as a limitless being of consciousness having chosen a limited experience in this body.
And on that day there will be no more worrying and suffering but life will effortlessly flow like water in a river bed. And upon encountering an obstacle, it simply notices it and gracefully flows around it continuing its journey. As it says in Three Magic Words: There is no obstacle in the mind of God (Universal Consciousness), which is in me, around me and serves me now.
Who would you be in a place of no fear?
