Freedom is gained when we overcome our deep-seated fears and anxieties.

Often we are not aware of them.

They are largely subconscious,

Inviting them to enter into consciousness,

Making them conscious,

Bringing them into consciousness,

And there are various ways and means of doing so.

For example,

With the help of art and music,

Will allow us to face them,

To really look at them,

Look into them.

Sometimes,

We may say luckily,

It is sufficient to experience our fears and dreams in order to overcome them.

Waking up,

We see that nothing has happened,

It was just a dream.

These fears mean nothing.

So,

In our dreams,

Our worst fears could manifest.

Once we wake up,

They are gone.

Nothing real has happened.

This helps us to understand that fear is just imagination.

Our fears are just imaginations.

Experiencing fears and dreams saves us,

Of course,

From a lot of suffering in the material world.

But sometimes,

It seems necessary,

Why,

Who can tell,

Maybe our higher self,

Our inner self deems it necessary,

That we experience the fears in material reality,

In the material world.

Then we have to go through them and come out of them,

Because that is what to experience means,

Going through something and coming out of something.

And again,

At the end of it,

The fear is gone.

Why?

Because we have felt and sensed and lived the fear.

We have really been one with the fear and then we have been able to drop it.

We have literally exhausted it and now the fear is gone.

At that point,

We realize that nothing can harm us.

Nothing could touch us or harm us.

None of these fears could do that.

Our essence,

Our inner self remains the same.

It remains untouched.

Essentially,

Inwardly,

We are intact.

But something will have changed.

Our outlook on life will have changed indeed and probably we will have become more open,

Freer.

Also,

We might have become more appreciative of life.

We might realize how precious life really is.

Life needs to be lived.

Life needs to be embraced.

Fear is not real.

Life is real.

Why should we allow something unreal,

Fear,

To govern and ruin our lives?

Fear is just a psychological projection onto the unknown.

It is something we imagined to be like that but it turned out very differently.

Once we drop fear,

We are free.

We are free to love.
