When I boil them down to their essentials, my deepest fears are the same as most people’s. Fear of loss. Fear of failure. Fear of inadequacy. Fear of letting my loved ones down. Fear of not being seen. And fear that the Spirit realm isn’t real, which is arguably one version of fear of being alone.
The scariest part about facing my deepest fears is that acknowledging them doesn’t make them disappear. I could, and most likely will lose people I love. I could fail to achieve my goals due to my own inadequacy. My fear of not being seen is bound to come true many times in my lifetime. Being human, I’m likely to let my loved ones down at some point. It’s not impossible that I’ll loose my faith in Spirit and gain back the sense of aloneness I carried with me before my belief systems shifted.
Realizing this, my next question was: If deeply feeling these fears doesn’t stop them from coming true, why do I have them? What is the purpose of fundamental fears? Is there one?

What do you think?
