Fear and The Higher Vibrations

As we move forward into the coming years we are going to be confronting more and more of our fears. As physical beings, the way that we confront fear is to manifest experiences that bring that fear to the surface. This is natural, this is expected, this is what we have—by virtue of our agreement to be physical humans at this point in time—agreed to, even asked for.

So what exactly is fear, and how do we clear our fears so that we can live the life of joy and peace and unity that we wish to create?

Here's what Abraham offers us as a way to understand and move through fear:
Question: What causes my fear?



Abraham: Fear is the feeling sensation that is present within you when you have both a desire and a belief that contradicts it.

Fear is a response to the state of your vibration. You are a vibrational being, and every moment offering a signal. Your vibration could be called thought, it could be called memory, it could be called fantasy, it could be called imagination, it could be called Energy. In other words, your vibration could be called, "As I stand in my now, and I think about the present, or I think about the future, or I think about the past—all of that is thought. Whatever it is I'm perceiving is causing me to offer a vibration, and that vibration is being answered or matched by All-That-Is. So when I feel fear, what it always means is, I am offering a thought—that you might call desire—and a thought—that you might call belief—that are contradictory.

The presence of fear always means the presence of resistance. The presence of resistance always means not allowing the Energy of desire to flow through me—always, without exception.

Same with confusion; same with vulnerability; same with anger; same with unworthiness; same with guilt. All negative emotions mean the same thing. You just call them different things because they play out differently in your experience—but they all mean the same thing.

The vibration of fear is usually a very strong vibration, which usually means there is the presence of a very strong desire within you.

Often, when you feel fear, it is because you have a belief that contradicts basic elements that are natural to you. Your natural instinct, from your broadest Non-physical perspective, is to know your power. Fear is a vibration when you feel powerless. Your natural instinctual Non-physical vibration is to know your worthiness, know your rightness, know your value. And the feeling of fear is always when you are contradicting that thought.

We would want you to say, "Quite a bit of the time I feel fearful or vulnerable or limited, and what that feeling means is: I'm in that moment holding a desire that contradicts my past thought, or my beliefs..." Remember that a belief is just a thought you keep thinking, it's just a habit of thought. It's just sort of the way you've always thought it, and so it is the way you are now thinking it. 


And so, as you are feeling fear, all it means is, "I've got a desire that my belief is not agreeing with. Now, what thought feels better about this? I've got hold of this stick, where my desire is here, my belief is here. What thought feels better?" And as you just softly talk to yourself about that subject, reaching for the thought that feels better, what happens is you shift the Energy.

It's like the teeter-totter on the fulcrum, and it's clearly down here, and you would like it to be up here. And so, you reach for the thought that feels better, and you reach for the thought that feels better, and you reach for the thought that feels better...and it doesn't look like anything's happening. And then, all of a sudden, one more time, you reach for the thought that feels better, and there it goes! The fear is gone without even knowing it, just by reaching for the thought that feels better.

There is so much reward in just feeling better in your "now". Because, so often, you're wanting to reach for the thought that feels better because, "Whoop-de-doo, this is big time good fun!" In other words, "I want to get there! I would like every effort to take me there. I would like every thought that I think, and every time I go to a workshop, and every time I make a little bit of effort, I would like it to take me there!" And it's irritating that it doesn't take you there, to that manifestation. 



We want you to not get so hung up on the manifestation, and start taking pleasure in the incremental relief. Pleasure in the fact that this feels a little better. Pleasure in the fact that you can actually, with your own will power and your own determination, choose a thought that feels better. 


We humans are always tempted to run from our fear. None of us is terribly excited about confronting fear. I don't hear a lot of people asking God or Spirit to send them more experiences filled with fear. After all, fear feels awful! And it should—it's a separation from the unity of Source, and nothing feels worse than that.

The more often we've felt a fear, and/or if it's an unusually strong fear, the more we'll desire to avoid experiencing that feeling ever again. So we add to our problems by developing patterns around fears in order to protect ourselves from experiencing that feeling. Those people who are familiar with fear, who use fear to control others (even if they do so unconsciously), count on our desire to run from fear, and count on the patterns that we develop to avoid feeling fearful.

Avoiding the feeling of fear isn't wrong or bad, developing patterns of avoidance isn't wrong or bad. In fact, it's all quite natural. Fear is a low vibrational experience and we are, in our natural state, high vibrational beings. So of course fear is going to feel bad, and of course we are going to try our darndest not to feel it. If we can't avoid it through action or patterning we'll try to pretend it's not there. But we can't run from our vibration, it's who we are in any given moment of time, and it's what determines what we manifest in our reality.

So fear—of any kind—is a low vibration experience. In our natural state as consciousness we don't know fear, our vibration never sinks that low. But here we are, playing the game piece called Human Being in the exciting and often frustrating game called Life on Planet Earth. We had to lower our vibration—you had to lower your vibration—to come here, and that wasn't an easy thing to do. But you wanted to be here, you wanted these experiences and so you did it. You lowered your vibration and joined the game. And here you are.

But what most of us don't yet realize is that that particular game is over now. We played the game of low vibration for many many lifetimes. We played the game of lack and hate and separation and fear. That game is over. It's done. It's time to move into the next phase of the game, and that phase is abundance, and acceptance, and unity, and love. As with all games, however, there's a winding down time and a winding up time. The winding down time was the first part of this century. The winding up time is now. We're gearing up for the new game, creating the new game, and it's going to take all of us.

So the game of being a low vibration being on Earth is coming to a close. Since it is, we now have to re-learn how to hold ourselves in a higher vibrational state. In order to do that we have to learn to recognize when we are in a low vibration (feelings like fear, anger, depression), and we have to learn how to move ourselves up out of those vibrations. It will happen in steps, and it will happen over time. As with anything else, it takes practice. It takes being aware, which you are now, and it takes practice, which only you can do.

As a global community we have many tools already which can both help us to recognize our vibration in any moment and help us to raise our vibration. There are thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of teachers, mentors, trainers, ready willing and able to help teach about the tools and help us learn how to use them. More tools are going to become available as more and more of us awaken to the gifts that we each have brought with us into this lifetime, but conveniently forgot so that we could be a part of the grand game.

Not all teachers will resonate with all students, nor should they be able to. In other words, what works for you may not work for someone else, and vice versa. You may be being someone's teacher and not even be aware of it! Use your intuition and guidance to help you determine if something is working for you, resonates with you, or not. Practice using that intuition and that guidance. Practice sharing what you know by being who you want to be.

Every single one of us is re-learning according to our own needs and our own abilities. So let's be patient with each other, patient in the same way that we are patient with our most innocent of children, as we learn about our new tools and learn how to use them. The future awaits, and that future is now.
