On Fear of Failure

"Those buzz words, “fear of failure,”
someone really did a job of coining a phrase that has hounded a lot of people for a long time.
“Fear of failure”.

Now, let’s break that down:
Fear means,
I’m focusing upon the opposite of what I want.

And failure has never been on my Things-To-Do-Today List.

So, we think fear and failure are perfect words to go together,
because when I look at success, I feel good.
When I imagine success, I feel good.
When I imagine failure, I feel awful.

Now, why would I feel awful, when I contemplate failure?
‘Cause I don’t want failure,
because my Inner Being sees me as a successful Being.
So, when I have images of failure that I’m focused upon,
of course, you’re going to feel fear.

That’s like saying,
“Why does my hand hurt when I put it on the hot stove?”

We say, because the stove’s hot.
You say, “Yeah, but why does it hurt when I put my hand on the hot stove?”
We say, well, because the stove is hot.
You say, “Yeah, but why does it HURT when I put my hand on the hot stove?”

It’s the same thing.
“Why do I feel negative emotion when I contemplate failure?”
Because your Guidance System is saying to you:
"When possible, make a legal u-turn."

It’s good that you feel fear of failure.
You’re not supposed to ever feel celebratory in the anticipation of failure. You see?

Well, we’re just scratching the surface of it,
but don’t you think that’s a remarkable revelation?
And aren't you proud of yourself
that when you contemplate failure,
that your Guidance System is working the way it is supposed to?

So, if you don’t want to feel fear—
don’t think about failure.

Do you have the power to think about something other than failure?
Of course you do,
you do it all the time.

You see, so, do you hear what you’re saying? You’re saying,
“Something must be wrong with me,
because every time I think about failure, I feel bad.
I've got this fear that comes up in me when I think about failure.”

And we say, "And there’s something wrong with that?"
It’s good. It’s good that you feel that emotion when you think that thought,
because that thought is so contrary to who you are and what you want,
and what your Source Energy knows about you.
So, there’s nothing wrong with you!"

On fear of terrorism

Just because something happened somewhere on earth doesn't mean it has to happen to you or to be in your living reality!


That feeling of terrorism...
It isn't the feeling that somebody is gonna come and do to you what they've done to others that you're worried about.
It is that: in THAT moment you're terrorizing yourself!
by pinching yourself off from the Wellbeing that would be there,
if you're not focused in a way that´s pinching it off.

And if you are focused in that way that pinched that off enough,
then the momentum of it gets bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger
until those thoughts turn to things!

And our question to all of you is:
"When someone else that you even don't know...
when their thoughts turn to things, that you don't want to live,
WHY would you now turn your thoughts to the things that they've turned their thoughts to the things?!

IOW, Esther used to say to us "Abraham, but it's true!"
And we would say "Esther, truth happens, fact happens,
because somebody focused in a way that makes them happen!"
And just because that happened,
just because they are someone's reality,
doesn't mean that they have to be YOUR reality!

But as humans, you often think that because it exists as a reality,
that it could come and get you!

Someone else conjured the reality that they didn't want
because they didn't know what they were doing with their thoughts,
and they've created a reality
and NOW so many people want you to look at that reality.
And as you look at that reality it becomes part of your vibration,
until more and more begin to create the reality that they do not want!

As humans, you have to be able to understand that that makes no sense!

So we would say to Esther:
"Just because it is true, just because someone lived it,
doesn't mean that it deserves your attention!"

And the thing that we would like you to begin to think about is,
that how it feels will be the criteria about whether it deserves your attention, you see.
[So when something feels bad, and fearful, turn your attention away from it.
Stop giving it air time.]

And those people that you are labeling as terrorists,
they KNOW that they don't have the ability to really distract your life in any really meaningful way.
There are too many of you and too few of them.

They cannot really in actuality turn those thoughts to things
in any way that can be very significant to you!

But they can terrorize you [mentally].
They can get you to turn your thoughts to the place where you will disconnect you from the Wellbeing that is yours.
And that is good enough for them.

(...)
But only YOU can terrify yourself,
because only you can focus in a way that disallows
the Source within you to flow in this moment,
-and that is what terror is!

Question: Is there anything worth being afraid of?

Abraham: Absolutely not. (...)
There are only two emotions:
One feels good and one feels bad. (...)
And so, the emotion of fear is nothing more than negative emotion to say to you,
"This is an important issue, and what you're thinking about is not in harmony with what you are wanting."
And as you give thought to something else - the fear will subside.

Nothing bad will ever happen to you as you understand that it is only giving thought to those things that attracts them.

And so, if you find yourself very frightened about something that you are thinking about, and you are able to change the thought and feel better, then you have removed your attraction of that.

You do not live in a dimension of instant manifestation, and that is a lucky thing for most of you.

For as you say, "I thought I would die laughing," over you would go. (group laugher)
"I thought I would break my neck," it is done.

It is nice that it is a very long process of offering the thought [and seeing the manifestation of them].

In other words, your thoughts would have to get very strong, by Law of Attraction, and the way they become powerful or strong, is by your attention to them.

If you spend a lifetime [fearing] or worrying about something, it usually happens to you sooner or later.

Or if you spend a little bit of time intensely focused upon something, you can bring it about - good or bad.

Fear itself is not the impediment to your joyful life.
But fear is pointing at the impediment to your joyful life.
And just as the feeling of fear is within you,
the impediment is within you also.

Excerpted from San Francisco, CA. 3/8/14

[spiritualcookie]

In Law of Attraction there are two ends of the stick.
On one end is what you want and on the other end is what you don't want.
Fear bouils down to one thing:
Over-focusing on the wrong end of the stick.

On Fear of Mis-Creating

Sometimes when first learning about Deliberate Creation, our physical friends will worry. They are afraid that every negative thought they think is going to reach out into the cosmos and bring some monster into their experience.

We want to ease your fear by reminding you that you are living the balance of your thought, so it requires quite a bit of thought about something before it will manifest in your experience.
