“Fear is, first of all, a thought, which in turn influences human conscousness. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate it by another, fearless thought. If the thought of fear enters the human aura, its energy essence attempts to stay there as long as possible. And this means vibrating and receiving sustenance through causing anxiety about anything — just so as to maintain perpetual motion within itself.
That is why fear has many faces and why its guises are so diverse and deceptive. Just one tiny hint of fear begins to pull in other fear-vibrating hints from space. In this way, the originating thought flows from one form into another, turning man into its slave.
Each black flash of fear only serves to reinforce the darkness.
Fear paralyzes man’s will and saps his strength, thereby attracting exactly those things that he is afraid of. A human heart in a state of fear loses its radiations and envelops itself in an ashen-grey mist, which extinguishes the fires within.
Alertness and caution are not fear, but the exact opposite: the protecting of one’s self from the influence of the fear-thoughts.”
