Stress is your friend; so, is your fear!

[Guest guest]

God is everything; God is good.

~Byron

Doesn't 'everything' include " stress " too!

And, fear too!

Doesn't that mean that 'stress' is 'good'.

Fear is good!

Of course... it is.

Then, why are you [am I] trying to fight

them off? Is this the way you welcome

a friend?

Stress definitely tells you [me] something.

It definitely serves an important purpose.

In my experience, there is nothing in the universe

that doesn't serve a very important, useful

and essential purpose. So, what is the purpose

of stress? Why is it there? Why was it created?

I think the major problem around " stress " is

created because of our " approach " to it!

We try to " run away " from it, " escape " it

and more we try to " run away " ... more our

friend [stress] chases us because it has

a very important message to give us! And,

our friend [stress] is very persistent.

It is not going away until it is sure that

we have received, completely understood its

message and have made decision on our

course of action.

Just because the language in which this

friend speaks appaers little harsh [though,

its message is only for our " good " ] we

try to fight it off, avoid it...

and, that makes the whole thing a 'struggle';

in place of just a meeting of friends.

Once, our approach to this friend [stress]

becomes welcoming, of understanding, once

we welcome it with all our heart, undestand

and acknowledge its message, let it know

that we have made decision on what we

are going to do in the context of its message

- the whole thing dramatically changes!

***If you experienced the above statement as true (god is

everything, god is good), you wouldnt experience stress or

fear....we experience stress and fear exactly because we do not

believe that god is good and god is everything. stress and fear

exist to wake us up to the fact that we are attached to, are

believing, a stressful thought, a lie. so, yes...stress or fear are

our 'friends'....as katie says, they are the alarm that can wake us

up to the fact that we are attached to a painful thought and can use

the work to wake ourselves up.

Absolutely brilliant response

As says " Sanity doesn't suffer, ever . . . ever! " . If I am

experiencing stress or fear I am literally insane, and it's time to

do the Work if I want to be sane again. Stress and fear have no

existence in the presence of truth, so it is absolutely insane to

suggest that fear and stress are part of God. -isms like " God

is everything. God is good. " are very open to gross

misinterpretations unless the reader has a firm grounding in the

Work and 's metaphysical position. As I understand it what

is actually saying in this quote is terrifying to our ego. If

God is everything, then this world has no real existence, it's just

a dream. It's like the ACIM statement " Nothing real can be

threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God. "

Since everything in this world can be threatened, it is all unreal

and does not exist.

Oh well off to play golf for the next two days, look forward to

hearing some more from you when I get back.

Have a beautiful day

" Sanity doesn't suffer, ever . . . ever! Sanity doesn't suffer,

ever, ever! Isn't that lovely? " Byron

Thanks for the lovely message, !

What is " your " experience with it?

Do you experience " God is everything; God is good. " ?

If not, why not?

And, if you do experience it, do you still expereince

fear/stress sometimes or not?

Love,

I don't know.

I don't know.

And, believe me if truly and completely understood

" why " they happen, they might stop happening.

My 'belief' is that fear runs deeper than

'belief'.

I agree with this part.

To me it means that there is something that

needs my Complete Attention!

Everything else comes afterwards...

Or, once I give it my Complete Attention,

everything else follows on its own.

Love,

ac.

PS: Don't get me wrong. I think *work* is very

good and BK has been very intelligent, insightful

and loving in sharing her wisdom with us.

When I am perfectly clear; What Is... is what I want.

***Sometimes yes, and sometimes no. My understanding is that I

experience fear and stress when I am believing a stressful story

concerning my 'experience' of life. It is not always my experience

that I 'Love What Is'...I still tend to argue with reality quite a

bit...and yes, I always lose!! When I use the work to question my

argument with reality, I always arrive at a more peaceful place, a

kinder place, a place internally that feels good. That's why I do

it.

***I base the above statement on my experience. When I look at

something and see it as *good/god* I don't feel stress or fear, I

feel good, balanced, happy. When I look at something and see it as

*bad* or wrong, I feel stress and fear. How about you in your

experience? If you see something as totally good/god do you

experience fear or stress?

***My *belief* is that fear is a direct result of belief and has no

experience much less fear. And I hear for you that it may be

different. Interesting.

***I have no idea how to give something my *COMPLETE* attention...I

just know some stories hurt and others dont and with the work I can

inquire into the ones that hurt if I want to. How do I know that I

am giving my *Complete Attention*? Inquiry seems to leave me

clearer and more present to all of my experience. Perhaps this is

what you speak of? I experience Inquiry as a tool that leaves me

with a greater possibility of giving everything my *Complete

Attention* ~ is this also your experience?

**Well, I seem to give most of my attention to things that hurt the

most...and this is a good thing since it shows me what to undo....

***What is it that brings you to the place where you are giving

complete attention? To be competely present without a story sounds

like what I imagine 's state of mind to be...and I cant know,

just what I imagine. Its also another way of saying Love to me...to

be completely present to something with no need to change it, is to

love it in my world.

*** I experience a greater ability to give my *Complete Attention*

following inquiry. I am left with fewer painful stories and am more

fully present to whatever is arising in the moment. So, for me, the

Work brings me to that place you seem to be speaking of where you

are giving *Complete Attention*. When I am Loving What Is arising

in the moment, I seem fully present to it ~ and that feels like love

to me.

Thanks A.C. ~ this helped me clarify some stuff.

Sometimes I feel fear much before I am

aware of any 'story'!

It is much like an 'instictive' fear

and, it seem to come from a

'deeper' mind.

In my observation, even animals who

may not be able to run much of 'stories'

expereince this kind of fear.

Even small babies wityh very few

[if any] 'stories' expereince it!

In my expereince, it is much like " love " ...

you don't need to run a 'story' in order

to expereince it.

At laest, that is my " honest " understanding

of my " honest " expereince. I am not concerned

if my experience doesn't 100% match with the

'theories' of fear that I have read from BK

and others.

A large part of fear is result of deluded

thinking. But, in my expereince, fear

also works like other 'energies' such

as HEAT - when you pass close to fire,

you will expereince " heat " without having

to tell " stories " about it!

My expereince with some " fear " is like that!

I don't completely understand it too.

and, the " happening " that I don't completely

undersatnd include... Fear and Stress too!

I don't claim to have them completely

figured out. If had them completely

figured out - they might have stopped

happening.

To me, 'any' 'story telling' is optional.

In my expereince, that works very well with

'ficttional' fears.

In my expereince, not all fears are result of

a 'fiction'.

To me *COMPLETE* attention means

*seeing* with 'no story' at all!

It does wonders even when it is done for

few moments only.

> How do I know that I

> am giving my *Complete Attention*?

The moment when you don't see 'any' story - be it good or bad!

> Inquiry seems to leave me

> clearer and more present to all of my experience. Perhaps this is

> what you speak of?

Maybe.

But, to me, real " inquiry " can begin only after

first reaching that SPACE of Complete Attention!

> I experience Inquiry as a tool that leaves me

> with a greater possibility of giving everything my *Complete

> Attention* ~ is this also your experience?

Yes, it often does it.

One of my favorite way is:

I feel paece when I know I am doing Right Now what I want

to be doing Right Now.

I feel paece when I know I see, hear, touch, smell, feel,

think, expereince Right Now what I want to see, hear, touch, smell,

feel, think, expereince Right Now.

Therefore:

I want to really know What I see, hear, touch, smell, feel,

think, expereince Right Now!

And, that...

often brings my Full Attention to what I see, hear, touch, smell,

feel, think, expereince Right Now!

Another way, that I reach the same SPACE is:

I LOVE What Is.

Now, let me see... What is __What Is__ that

is in front of me, right now! Let me see

exactly 'why' and 'how' I LOVE it?

And, experience that it often brings is... Love!

***HHHmmmm. Perhaps. I believe that *LOVE*, our true nature,

this...when I love, I ususally want something from what I *love*.

Occasionally, I experience what I would call unconditional love.

***Nice theory. I notice that I experience less fear in this

*mysterious* manner as I undo my stories about mother, daughter,

father, death, etc. And I can understand your story about fear, it

sounds familiar.

***Thanks for sharing. For me, some of my experiences of

*depression* seem to be experienced in the way you talk of fear. And

wherever it comes from, it seems to lessen as my stories arise and I

question them. I like that.

***Yes, well, if I have a story that I should live and not die then

all fears will not be based on *fiction*. It is worth questioning

for me. As says, 'as long as we believe that life is higher

than death, we live in fear'...makes sense to me.

Thanks for sharing AC. I have practised mindfullness meditation,

and other practices in order to develop my ability to be fully

present...letting go of judgment...just noticing...and the work is a

tool to deal with the judgements (stories) that persist. I question

them, and they let go...or not.

Dear ac,

....

How do you know it is " fear " , then?

I am not talking semantics. When I call it something, I put a story

on top of " what is " . If I label it, I create it. I experience a

feeling, I notice a movement. And it is " fear " . Who would I be in

this moment, how would I experience this moment, if I did not know it

is " fear " . How would I experience this, if I felt it for the first

time? I don't remember when I experienced " fear " the last time. I

don't remember when I experienced " sadness " the last time. " pain " ...

the same. Whenever one of these feelings comes up, I look at them

with interest: is this what I remember as " fear " or is there a

difference, even if it is only slightly different?

When I notice anger arising, and I look at it with interest, it ...

shifts.

Feelings are not personal.

What about reflexes? What is a " reflex " ? It's something that my body

does by itself, without any control whatsoever from my part. And if I

don't identify with my body, " control " isn't an issue, anymore.

However, reflexes are not preceded by thoughts. Still I can inquire

into my thoughts *after* the reflex was noticed.

Eventually, I come to see that I can always inquire the past, only.

Oh, whatever, I've gotta have some breakfast.

bye, love,

Hmmm...

The feeling doesn't change, but the story around that feeling does

change, and thus it is interpreted differently. You can be in " fear "

*and* joy (love) at the same time.

Now, *if* I am at the point where I do experience fear, and don't

accept is as " God " , I'll get pain on top of the fear. Yes, stress is

a hint that there's an uninvestigated story hanging around, and I may

not be " able " to investigate it at the moment. In that case I can

just deal with the stress or I try to use the pain to get rid of the

stress (wich never worked for me).

Loving and looking forward towards experiencing stress eventually

leads me to undo it.

And until I am at the point where I can love to be insane, I wouldn't

go for: if I experience stress, I am insane. And I wouldn't tell

anyone that I was insane if I believed what he does believe. For my

own shake.

Everything is God, and the only thing that exists is that wich is in

front of me. And not even that. Looking at the world without any

story is ... just peace.
