Fearless Strategies Revealed: Master How to Outwit the Six Ghosts of Fear!
Imagine your mind as a spaceship, navigating the vast universe of your thoughts and emotions. In this journey, you encounter six asteroids that represent different fears, constantly threatening to divert you from your path to success.
Indecision: It's like cosmic fog that obscures your viewport, making it hard to see where you're heading.
Doubt: It's akin to a strong gravitational field pulling you in different directions, challenging your navigation.
Fear: It emerges when the fog and gravitational pull combine, creating a vortex that threatens to engulf your spaceship.
These fears grow slowly in your subconscious, like black holes that, if unchecked, can swallow your entire spaceship.
The six basic fears are:
Fear of Poverty: It's like a black hole that drains all your resources, leaving you without energy or fuel to continue your journey. Example: The Great Depression.
Fear of Criticism: It's like a meteorite striking your spaceship, damaging your systems and causing you to doubt your ability to move forward. Example: Fear that others will think you're foolish.
Fear of Ill Health: It's like a computer virus infecting your systems, leaving you vulnerable and unable to operate effectively. Example: The Covid pandemic.
Fear of Loss of Love: It's like an asteroid field threatening to separate your spaceship from the fleet, leaving you lonely and adrift in space. Example: Fear of losing someone special.
Fear of Old Age: It's like neglecting maintenance on your spaceship, causing its systems to deteriorate and making you feel closer to a total breakdown. Example: Fear of looking different and nearing death.
Fear of Death: It's like an imminent collision with a planet, a constant threat that could destroy your spaceship at any moment. Example: World Wars.
The universe is composed of energy and matter, both transformable but not destructible. Life is energy, so it cannot be destroyed, only transformed. Therefore, death is merely a transition or, if not, a long and peaceful sleep — nothing to fear in sleep.
"Fears are nothing more than states of mind" (Hill, 323). Just as astronauts who do not fear technical failures become more resilient, we too can overcome our fears by controlling our thoughts. Every human has the power to control their mind and, thus, their thoughts.
To overcome the fear of poverty, we must desire abundance and reject any situation or thought that leads to lack. This fear is the most destructive as it ruins imagination, kills self-confidence, and diminishes enthusiasm, among other negative effects.
We live in a universe of abundance where anything is possible with the right mindset. However, men often economically prey on each other, feeding the fear of poverty.
Symptoms of these fears include:
Fear of Poverty: Indifference, indecision, doubt, worry, excessive caution, and procrastination.
Fear of Criticism: Self-consciousness, lack of poise, weak personality, inferiority complex, extravagance, lack of initiative, and ambition.
Fear of Ill Health: Autosuggestion, hypochondria, excessive exercise, susceptibility, self-coddling, and intemperance.
Fear of Loss of Love: Jealousy, fault-finding, and gambling.
Fear of Old Age: Slowing down, inferiority complex, constantly claiming to be old, killing imagination and initiative, dressing much younger, and adopting youthful mannerisms.
Fear of Death: Excessive thoughts about dying, lack of purpose and self-direction.
To overcome these fears, we must choose not to worry about them and focus on improving our lives. Decision leads to serenity, peace of mind, calmness, and happiness.
Negative thoughts can be transferred from one person to another through thought vibration. These negative thoughts have a "kickback" effect, planting themselves in the subconscious and developing a negative personality.
To succeed in our space mission, we need peace of mind, work for our material needs, and achieve happiness. The mind can produce anything it believes to be true. Self-discipline and habit are keys to controlling the mind.
Controlling the mind involves keeping it busy with purpose and a plan, analyzing our weaknesses, and overcoming them.
