From Fear to Freedom

[helloperator]

Anyone managed to make the transition from living in fear to being free?

I'm talking about things like worrying what others think of you, having no confidence, letting the slow wavelength frequencies of fear control your life.

I was listening to David Icke...he says the start is to do what you feel is best in any situation...if you worry what someone may think of something you say...just say it, if you worry what someone may think about what you do...just do it...because then and only then can you begin to free yourself up and kind of get that roll on that you need...as he says...amazing things will start to happen if you can do it.

The problem is...I just can't do it....so....anyone here done it? How did you do it? How long did it take?

I'm frustrated because I can understand the principle...and can see the answers through perspex...but i can't do it...I can't leave my well learned bad habbits behind...I can't break free.

So....experiences.....?

thanks

It sounds like you need an ice-breaker to help you let go of some of your fears.

For instance, I know somebody who was once very timid and worried constantly that he wasn't living up to expectations ....his own and that of his family, so what he did was rather radical, but it seems to work well.

Are you ready for ths.......as soon as it got dark one night, he rode a bicycle round his local area wearing nothing but an orange wig! He got caught in the headlights of a few passing cars, but he just kept pedding like fury till he had achieved the entire route he had planned to travel.

This one act has served him well because he is now much gamer to venture out to do things without the fear of what others may think.

I know another person who took a trip to her local petrol station and filled her car up, then went in and paid for her petrol wearing her pajamas and a bathrobe on a busy Saturday night.

This may sound silly, but the point I am trying to make is this. If you can shed your fears long enough to do something that you would normally never have the courage to do for fear of being caught or laughed at, then you are well on your way to achieving a much happier life.

I used to have a lot of Social Anxiety.
Many people have this disorder for life and are dependent on pills to supress their fear.
I got over it by learning meditation. There may be other ways.
For more information on how to meditate, read my signature.

On amazon you can preview the book I am recommending. :)

go out into public and do things that you would never normally do

take that leap of faith

[helloperator]

Yes thanks...as an example...say I'm sitting with a bunch of people I've just met...people who work in the same field as me and who I will probably bump into here and there...we are sitting around and the conversation is really boring me because it is borish...all I wanna do is just moan in sheer frustration, sit way back in my seat and basically just scowl and look completely disinterested.

Now...that would be something you just 'dont do'...like riding nude on a bike...but that's what I feel like doing. I don't mean any disrespect to anyone there. It's just that the conversation I find to be inane and truth be told, probably riddled with fears and insecurities itself. The way I see it, not many people you meet are 'themselves' for real in social situations where everyone is meeting for the first couple of times. I just want to opt out. I feel very old or something, like I've seen it all before.

Yet I don't want to upset the apple cart...yet I just feel like I want to be free of the situation. I don't want to feel hemmed in or restricted by what other people think.

anyway...this shouldn't turn into a diary...I just wanted to hear other people's knowledge of this kind of step....the step from ...well..as the title says.

My Opinion:

There is nothing you can actually "do". ...ok being naked in public might help=)...but try this:

You can close your eyes and create your reality without any fear.

Look inside you and become counscious that every fear you might have is an illusion and does not actually belong to you.Its part of the matrix to controll you...

This might take some time to be fully aware and counscious of it.

just let go

Mind Games - John Lennon - YouTube

We're playing those mind games together,
Pushing barriers, planting seeds,
Playing the mind guerilla,
Chanting the Mantra peace on earth,
We all been playing mind games forever,
Some kinda druid dudes lifting the veil.
Doing the mind guerilla,
Some call it magic: the search for the grail,
Love is the answer and you know that for sure,
Love is flower you got to let it, you got to let it grow,
So keep on playing those mind games together,
Faith in the future outta the now,
You just can't beat on those mind guerillas,
Absolute elsewhere in the stones of your mind,
Yeah we're playing those mind games forever,
Projecting our images in space and in time,
Yes is the answer and you know that for sure,
Yes is the surrender you got to let it, you got to let it go,
So keep on playing those mind games together,
Doing the ritual dance inn the sun,
Millions of mind guerrillas,
Putting their soul power to the karmic wheel,
Keep on playing those mind games forever,
Raising the spirit of peace and love, not war,
(I want you to make love, not war, I know you've heard it before)

I used to be fearful of people at one time. I was not confident in who I was.

Ants (or any insect) just get on with their daily work unaware/ignorant/not caring what is going on around them, they dont worry, even tho someone is maybe about to tread on them.

Well, the ants seem happy.

It's all in the mind.

Has anything strange ever happened to you... like seen a UFO or had your mind opened... Have you had a paranormal experience? Like seen the future or had a deja vous... Have you ever left your body...

or have you ever left your body purposely to break a friends leg in order to change his entire life for the better, and ended up accomplishing it by entering into another person's body and taking them over for just long enough, and when he comes to your house, you ask his girlfriend if she remembers you asking her in your mind from your house if this would be a good idea, and she says yes, she does remember, and is happy because your friend was going to go on a big coke binge with a bun in the oven and a kid in the house, and you asked your god or your inner and outer goodness with a phrase "God it would be better if he just broke his fucking leg" just because you had been psychically surveilling him and you saw his path and just knew somehow the harm would do him good...

And then been pleasantly surprised when you find that the doctor tells him he was lucky to have broken his leg, because it had had a fissure in it for quite some time and he could easily have died from that?

How about have you ever free-written a story and written in a word like "fissure" not knowing the meaning but feeling it might be the right word so you do it and then when you check it on your MacBook Pro computer you find out it is indeed the word you were looking for...

have you ever told a woman at a carpet store with a friend that there would be a tornado in a town called Grimshaw, Alberta and by george, it happens...


Have you ever told your mother in anger that heroin addicts were going to move into her rental unit and steal everything just because you were mad that she wouldn't let you supply one of your friends as a renter for her and then it happens three months later and there is proof of all of these things?

Have you told a friend to let you have some other guys address because you felt you had to visit him and you explained to your friend that you feel you might be able to change him from dying by the butterfly effect and your friend doesn't take you seriously enough and says, "fuck em, let him die" so you drop the conversation and two weeks later he dies on the road after giving a stripper a ride home to edmonton from fort saint john?

Have you ever prophesied to you Boss in petty conversation that Ozzy will die in a four wheeler accident, and then someone suggests that things don't have to be a certain way so then you pray for Ozzy and then you see later that Ozzy almost dies in a four wheeler accident, and he doesn't die! And then you remember your prayer and you are a little disturbed but ever so happy. Because you know that deep down Ozzy is a "child of Infinite Love"

If you ever have, then tell someone about it in as exited fashion as you can to make them believe what you have done even if already 20 people know that you have excellent powers.

If not, tell them about the Icke Board and some of the more exiting things you are coming to believe at the core of you.

Tell someone you think they are a drone.

Tell your mother you believe you were born here for the purpose of awakening and that there are many mysteries you are seeking to find.

Stand up in an office you are familiar with and say, "I am part of you, and we are infinite consciousness"... "if we can now open up our minds, we can move the mountains which we need to move in order to bring the world back into the state it was meant to be before it was usurped by powerful reptilian beings"

But for our sake man, do something. We're gonna need you! Your one of us.

[helloperator]

Thankyou for those awesome posts...I understand what you are telling me. I so badly want to be free...

Trying to break the mould you are cast in since birth is very hard...I mean it's like trying to put the breaks on a runaway train on greased rails.

If anyone else has any further stories or experiences, please let me know here...or you can pm me. I don't mind.

The replies uplift me...man, I can see the goal. I can see it! But I can't seem to get to it!

Accept and like yourself as you are now... and you rise to "goal" and beyond without even realising it :)

When times are rough, I say to myself "What would Sid Vicious have done in this situation?" Then I choose from the lengthy list of possibilities (time permitting)

(1) Pass out

(2) Break something

Fear will disolve when you see the world as it truly is ...

One day you will catch yourself thinking.. "Do i really want to do this?.. What will people think of me?"... And then you'll answer, by doing what you know is right and not give a damn what anyone thinks of you!

Keep moving towards that goal..

I think I need to make myself fit and healthy. I feel so tired and empty and lathargic. Getting things under way and trying to make the journey seems so difficult...like trying to push a rock the size of a house up to the top of a mountain. Like Luke Skywalker said in Star Wars...'Its such a long way from here'. Thanks for the words of encouragement.

That reminds me of another story I heard elsewhere on the forum :D

Or maybe it's the same story? :eek:

[helloperator]

I get the impression though that it's nothing to do with what you do externally...it's all inner space that you need to traverse.

I suppose once the inner is free, external actions will reflect that. So I have to master my thoughts, or the way I think.

It's difficult
