Is it me or does anyone else find that a wee bit disturbing?

Wikiquote provides a more subtle description for worry. 

"Worry is one of two components of anxiety (the other being emotionality). Worry refers to negative self-talk that often detracts the mind from focusing on the problem at hand. Emotionality refers to physiological symptoms such as sweating, increased heart beat and raised blood pressure."

Hmm, not sure that makes me feel any better.  How bout you?

But the question still remains...what are we worrying about anyways?  

 

That answer can be summed up in one word...Fear.   

The one common fear we as human experiencers all share is the Fear of the Unknown!  

And let's  do a reality check here, shall we?  Every fear we have is based in that one particular fear of the unknown.    Here are a few examples

• Fear of not knowing how others feel about us, think about us.   
• Fear of not making ends meet.   
• Fear of whether or not we're gonna get that job
• Fear catching some cold or some dreadful disease.  
• Fear of strangers.  Fear of crowds. 
• Fear of rejection.  Fear of intimacy.  
• Fear of not being heard.  Fear of being seen--of not being seen.   
• Fear of someone taking what belongs to us.   
• Fear of this, that and the other thing!   

Quite maddening.  Isn't it?  The above is why all these psychic hot-lines are so damn popular.   The majority of the population yearn to know what's "out there," what's the final outcome of this decision or that decision.    Many of which have the strong desire to actually control the outcome of any given situation.  

No matter their economic, religious, ethnic standing, people, in general, fear the unknown!  But as James T. Kirk once said long ago, "...the greatest danger facing us is...ourselves, and irrational fear of the unknown. There's no such thing as 'the unknown,' only things temporarily hidden, temporarily not understood."

As each human experiencer begins to awaken into their spiritual truths, the  search for real genuine answers frees them from the bondage of the seemingly unknown.    

After all, knowledge is power.  

Did you know that  over half the worry in the world is caused by people trying to make decisions before they have sufficient knowledge?  That's what Dean Hawkes of Columbia University stated many years ago.   And sadly, this still holds true today.

Below is "The Worry Chart."  Now take a good look at this.  Commit it to memory!   Print it out if need be.  In fact...DO print it out and paste it on your Bathroom Mirror and your refrigerator door.  And anywhere else where you will be force to see it!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Part of the Awakening Process (aka Ascension, Spiritual Transition, etc.) is working through your fears.   

NOTE: I did not say removing, eradicating, or destroying your fears.  I said: WORKING THROUGH YOUR FEARS.     Which is all part of the Say NO to Fear Challenge!  Something we'll get into more detail later on in this on-going series.

In the meantime, take time to look your fear(s) square in the proverbial eyes and ask it/them the following questions:

• What is it that I am not seeing?  
• What am I refusing to learn here?  
• Why do I need to know the outcome of this particular situation?  
• What do I hope to gain by knowing?
• What is the worst case scenario if I don't get it, them, or whatever? 
• What is my back up plan just in case it don't all work out?

I'm sure you can come up with a few more on your own!

As you go through your day, remember...there is NO Such Thing As The Unknown!

So Don't Worry!  Be AWAKENED!!
