Fear is 100% a product of one’s own imagination

Fear is 100% a product of one’s own imagination, an illusion that arises because we live in our minds rather than in reality.

Fear is the suffering caused by things that do not exist at all in the present moment; it always relates to the future and to what might happen next.

When you attempt to build boundaries around yourself to seek security and control your fear, you end up shielding yourself from life itself. You diminish the intensity of your own existence.

The mind should be set free, not suppressed. If you try to forcibly stop a fearful thought, the exact opposite occurs: it gains power because you are engaging with it so intensely.

Fear arises when your physiology and psychological patterns no longer take direction from you. Your intellect is a sharp knife; however, if your hand, your mind, is shaky and unstable, you will constantly end up cutting yourself with that very knife. This is what we call fear or stress.

Fear exists only in memory (the past) or in hallucination (the future). Those who learn to respond solely to what is actually present in this very moment leave no room for fear.

The goal is not to fight fear, but to create a distance between yourself, your body, and your mind. Once you realize that you are not your thoughts, fear automatically loses its power over you.
