What is Fear?

The nature of God, is nothing but pure Love. All negative emotions - anger, jealousy, blame, worry, disappointment, insecurity, anxiety, guilt, unworthiness, grief, depression, despair etc can be summed up as one word - fear. The real source of all problems is fear, which is lack of love - in other words lack of God. When your thoughts are full of God, your thoughts are full of Love, and your life is full of Love. This great feeling place in your mind is called Heaven. On the other hand. when your thoughts are full of fear, your life lacks God. This place in your mind where God does not exist is called Hell. Heaven and Hell are thus both places that you create in your mind by choosing to think thoughts that are either full of Love (God) or the lack of Love (Fear).

All fear is self created, and it is unwise to blame God for it. Fear is created when we choose, consciously or unconsciously to create unlike God. - i.e when we choose to think and act from a place where love is absent. When we are thinking and acting with Love, we are co-creating with God. The course goes on to say that only Love is real, everything else is unreal - in other words, an illusion of the mind. All problems occur when we stray away from our source, our God. All solutions come to us when we choose to connect back with Him. Fear is a bad dream that the ego creates to disconnect with God - fear is clearly not of God’s creation.
