Angst treibt zu großen Teilen die Welt um. Die Welt erscheint dem Ängstlichen gefährlich und bedrohlich. Angst ist der treibende Motivator für nimmermüdes Schaffen und Aktionismus.

Das Gefühl der Unsicherheit (ver)führt zu Befangenheit, Eifersucht, Manipulation und Totalitarismus.

Vorhandene Ängste beginnen sich von selbst aufzulösen, wenn man aufhört, Widerstand zu leisten und die Gegebenheiten und Emotionen akzeptiert, so wie sie sind.

Spirituelle Übung

In Bezug auf hemmende Denkpositionen und beschwerende emotionale Zustände, wie beispielsweise Ängste, empfiehlt Hawkins sich fortschreitend zu fragen:
Was passiert, wenn das eintritt, wovor ich Angst habe?

und jeder möglichen Antwort mit:

Na und? Und dann? Und wenn schon! zu begegnen.

Häufig führt diese Fragemethode auf den Kern der menschlichen Angst, die ursprüngliche Angst vor dem Tod, der Auslöschung. Sich dieser zehrenden Emotion in jeder Abstufung zu stellen, die Angst zu durchleben und GOTT zu vertrauen, bedeutet, die Angst GOTT zu übergeben.

Zitate von D. Hawkins

Fürchte nicht das Böse und bekämpfe es nicht. Meide es einfach. Quelle unbekannt

Willst du einer Bedrängnis entwachsen, so stelle dir das schlimmstmögliche Szenarium dazu vor, das dir widerfahren könnte und setze dich ihm aus. Quelle unbekannt

Ganz gleich, wie schlimm die Umstände erscheinen mögen oder die Situation sich entwickeln mag, sage dir fortwährend: "Na und!" Quelle unbekannt

Unter den scheinbar schlimmsten Umständen (bis zum Augenblick des Geköpftwerdens) denke unablässig:
"Es ist jetzt OK, es ist jetzt OK, [...]!" Quelle unbekannt

Die An-Wesenheit ist still und vermittelt einen Zustand des Friedens, der der Raum ist, in dem und durch den alles ist und sein Leben und seine Erfahrung hat. Sie ist unendlich sanft und doch fest wie ein Felsen. Mit ihr verschwindet alle Angst. FU Die Ebenen des Bewusstseins, S. ?

Das Ego scheint ein Produkt der Angst zu sein, und sein Zweck scheint darin zu bestehen, das Erleben des nächsten Augenblicks zu kontrollieren sowie das Überleben sicherzustellen. Es scheint hin und her zu schwanken zwischen Zukunftsangst, dem Bedauern vergangener Tage, Wünschen und dem Gefühl der Endlichkeit, das den Handlungsfluss durch die Illusion des Mangels bestimmt. Mit einem Gefühl von Vollständigkeit versiegt das Verlangen. Das, was sich für endlich hält, fürchtet um sein Überleben, denn es unterliegt der Zeit und der Illusion der Kausalität. FU Das All-sehende Auge, S. 42-43

Zitate (engl.) von D. Hawkins

All fear is illusion. Surrender it to God. Source unknown

Walk through all fear no matter what! Source unknown

Fear: At the level of 100 a lot more life energy is available – fear of danger is healthy. Fear runs much of the world, spurring on endless activity. Fear of enemies, of old age or death, of rejection, and a multitude of social fears are basic motivators in most people's lives. From the viewpoint of this level, the world looks hazardous, full of traps and threats. [...] Fear limits growth of the personality and leads to inhibition. Because it takes energy to rise above Fear, the oppressed are unable to reach a higher level unaided. Thus the fearful seek strong leaders who appear to have conquered their own Fears to lead them out of its slavery. Power vs. Force, chapter 4, S. ?

The ego appears to be the product of fear, and its purpose is to control the next instant of experience and ensure its survival. It seems to vacillate between fear of the future and regret of the past, and the desire and sense of time which repels action stems from the illusion of lack. The Eye of the I, S. 18

Fears are eliminated by graceful acceptance of the qualities inherent in the human condition which brings to awareness the comforting realization that one's discomforts are shared equally by all. This results in a healing compassion towards all life. To become loving brings an end to the fear of loss of love, for lovingness engenders love wherever it goes. I. Reality and Subjectivity, S. 200

Fear itself actually precludes the awareness of the presence of God. Only when it its abandoned does profound surrender of the resistant ego reveal a peace beyond understanding. Along the Path to Enlightenment. 365 Reflections from David R. Hawkins, S. ?, Reflection of 7th September

Religions which are based on the fear of sin rather than on the love of God are inherently weak. Interview The Path of Simplicity, US magazine In Light Times, March 2005

On anxiety and anguish

These [anxiety] states come and go, you see. Because you work your way through a big stack and you are above your karma, so now you go into a state of semi-bliss, euphoria, happiness etc. Now you have earned the right to handle the next big stack that comes up. From this level you are entitled to handle this. Don't forget how far down to hell I went, to unearth that which was blocking that which was extremely high. So you are just rising above your karma. You will see the Christian saints, […] they will tell you how they went from elated states to states of despair. 'O my beloved how could you have deserted me'. States of great anguish, you see. Don't worry about the states of great anguish. Just surrender the anguish to God and constantly surrender all of it. Don't resist the anguish if it should come up because if you are serious, it will very likely come up again. I never knew anybody who just went into a state of happiness and stayed there all the way to Enlightenment, you see. The Buddha was beset by demons, Jesus Christ sweat blood. So there's anguish all the way. I don't like to say that because it sounds like a program, but experientially it is what goes on and you say: 'This too I surrender to Thee O Lord, whatever this anguish may mean or whatever it signifies.' Sedona Seminar Spiritual Practice and Daily Life, CD 5 of 6, 21. October 2006

To surrender to God is to die. At that moment the warrior within you comes and then arises the fear of death. You have never experienced it before (death). There is the fear of death and the fear of the void. What arises is the terror of nothingness. At that moment, the energy of those who have been through it comes to you and you will remember to walk straight ahead no matter what. No matter how severe the fear, the greatest fear of all, walk through it. The terror lasts for an ungodly minute and then one has made it through. Sedona Seminar Realization of the Self: Final Moments, 3 DVD set, 14. December 2002

There is one basic saying in Zen that one can rely on completely: Walk through all fear no matter what, committed to spiritual truth, no matter what. Sedona Seminar Realization of the Self: Final Moments, 3 DVD set, 14. December 2002

Fear has to do with not knowing that you're safe at all times. The mind will try to justify that fear as a rational decision. It's based on control, trying to control the future. As you get more sophisticated, you realize that survival is a function of the spirit, not of the ego. Sedona Seminar Thought and Ideation, 3 DVD set, 28. February 2004

Fear and agony tells you that it's the ego, so surrender it because it's not Truth. Sedona Seminar Thought and Ideation, 3 DVD set, 28. February 2004

Psalm 91:

When contemplating Psalm 91 Dr. Hawkins found a snake sitting at his doorstep. In view of the serpent he recontextualized Psalm 91 and stepped over it without being harmed.

'Those who place their faith in the Highest have nothing to fear because you will become dear to me and you will be under the protection of my wings'. Well, if you live that truth [...] transformative [...] you start to cry to even hear it because you know it's true. 'To those who are dear to me, ten thousand shall fall at their side and you shall step over the serpent under my wings.' You will be under Divine protection. Sedona Seminar The Ego and The Self, DVD 3 of 3, minute 1:16:38, 11. December 2004

This then is the radical solution to inner problem.
- What we resist gains command of our lives.
- What we accept the worst of begins to vanish.
Guilt and fear and worry and hate cannot possibly have any hold over our lives, except that which we give it by resistance. Sedona Seminar Transcending Barriers, 3 DVD set, 18. June 2005

Surrender the fear of death to God and the whole stack of fears collapse. When you have no fear of death, you are fearless. Sedona Seminar Transcending Obstacles, 3 DVD set, 3. September 2005

The rollercoaster ride of the straight and narrow path

The energy is that of the Field [...] and you surrender to the field and you do go through transformative phases and stages. You go through phases where you feel like you're coming off your hinges [...] and strange and unnatural. But, these are normal.
Know that all things are within the infinite harmony of God. Nobody can be lost to God. No matter how upset or strange. People go through inner dissociative states, but where you're at is always within the province of Divinity and is known to God. So you can never be lost to God. The ego may have to adjust to a different perception of itself but there is no way of being lost to Divinity, therefore, to love.
And you can affirm repeatedly "My reality is at one with Divine Harmony. My life is controlled by Divine Harmony. Everything is in Divine order. My life is in control." Because the reality is the Self with a capital "S" is the emergence of the Divine order. [...] The only thing that gets upset with shifts and change is the ego. What is stressful to the ego is often the delight of the Self. [...]
So, fear not! Just surrender it to God. Don't worry about it. Just know at all times that you cannot get lost to God. God's infinite harmony includes all of us and you go through transitional periods where you feel like you're out of balance but that is because the advancement of Consciousness itself. Therefore, don't be afraid. Sedona Seminar Serenity, DVD 3 of 3, minute 53:59, August 2005

Wenn Sie sich ehrlich auf unangenehme Erfahrungen freuen können, gibt es nichts mehr im Leben zu fürchten. Byron Katie (*1942) US-amerikanische spirituelle Lehrerin, Bestsellerautorin

Angst ist eine überlagerte Wirkung von einer überlagerten Ursache, etwas Hinzugefügtes, etwas das vorher nicht da war und sich plötzlich kraftvoll in Szene setzt, man hat Angst vor der Angst. Interview mit Mario Mantese Biografie (*1951) Schweizer Nahtodüberlebender, philosophisch-spiritueller Autor, Biografie, Einfügen und Realisation, präsentiert von Zeitschrift Lichtfokus, 25. November 2005

Wir stürzen in eine Welt des stummen Grauens. [...] Wenn das passiert, sind wir dem Tod schon sehr nahe, sind beinahe schon hinter die Angst gekommen. Alles, was wir jetzt noch tun müssen, ist, bereit zu sein, dass die Angst uns verschlinge; aufzugeben, etwas kontrollieren zu wollen, das mächtiger ist als wir selbst; aufzuhören, uns gegen etwas zu stemmen, das stärker ist als wir selbst. Nicht mehr entkommen zu wollen, denn das ist das einzige, das uns befreit. Anne Wilson Schaef Livinginprocess.com, US-amerikanische Psychotherapeutin, Frauenrechtlerin, Suchtforscherin, Mein Weg zur Heilung. Jenseits von Wissenschaft und Therapie, S. 262, dtv Verlag, 1995

Angst ist der größte Feind der Liebe. Man fühlt sich dann, als klammere sich ein Ertrinkender an einen. Man möchte ihn retten, weiß aber, dass er in seiner panischen Angst den Retter mit ins Verderben reißt. Anais Nin (1903-1977) französisch-kubanische Schriftstellerin

Wo die Angst ist, da geht‘s lang. Nina Ruge (*1956) deutsche Fernsehmoderatorin, Journalistin, Buchautorin

Furcht ist der Pfad zur dunklen Seite. Furcht führt zu Wut, Wut führt zu Hass, Hass führt zu unsäglichem Leid. Ausspruch von Yoda, Jedi-Meister, Film Star Wars

Drei Viertel alles Bösen, das in der Welt getan wird, geschieht aus Furchtsamkeit. Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844-1900) deutscher klassischer Gelehrter, Kulturkritiker, Philosoph des Nihilismus [BW 120]

Zitate (engl.) von anderen Quellen

There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. 1. John 4, 18 (NT)

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. If fear exists, then there is not perfect love.
However: Only perfect love exists. If there is fear, it produces a state that does not exist. A Course in Miracles [ACIM] [LoC 550/600], manual for teachers, T-1.VI.5, 3-8

The chief activator of our defects has been self centered fear – primarily fear that we would lose somthing we already possessed or would fail to get something we demanded. Living upon a basis of unsatisfied demands, we were in a state of continual disturbance and frustration. Therefore, no peace was to be had unless we could find a means of reducing these demands. Bill Griffith Wilson [Bill W.] [LoC 540] (1895-1971) US American co-founder of the international mutual aid fellowship Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, Step Seven, pg. 76, AA World Services, 1 edition, 10. February 2002

FEAR = False Evidence Appearing Real Acronym used in Twelve step groups [LoC 540]

Fear may come true that which one is afraid of. Viktor Frankl (1905-1997) Austrian neurologist, psychiatrist, psychotherapist, Nazi death camp survivor, meaning researcher, founder of logotherapy

Fear is just a vibration in the body. Merge with it unconditionally and it reveals itself as pure consciousness. Lucia René, US American mystic, ordained Buddhist monk, spiritual teacher, woman's activist, author, Unplugging the Patriarchy. A Mystical Journey into the Heart of a New Age, Crown Chakra Publishing, 1st edition, 21. December 2009

Your fears are not walls, but hurdles.
Courage is not the absence of fear, but the conquering of it. Dan Millman (*1946) US American Trampolining world champion athlete, university coach, martial arts instructor, college professor, author of self-help books

Said during a bank panic

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. Franklin D. Roosevelt [LoC 499] (1882-1945) 32nd US president during World War II (1933-1945), First Inaugural Address, 4. March 1933

The thing I fear most is fear. Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) influential French Renaissance writer, Essais, book I, chapter 18

We intensify fear by trying to force it away. It might seem counter-intuitive, but the first step in healing fear is accepting it. […] Instead of pushing away our difficult moments, we soften to them, allowing those moments a wider pasture and meeting them with clarity and compassion. Stephen Levine (*1937) US American poet, author, teacher, Unattended Sorrows

According to most studies, people's number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Death is number two. Does that sound right? This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you're better off in the casket than doing the eulogy. Jerry Seinfeld (*1954) US American stand-up comedian, actor, writer, television and film producer

It's what people know about themselves inside that makes them afraid. Clint Eastwood (*1930) US American film actor, director, producer, composer, politician, line in the Western movie High Plains Drifter, hinting to supernatural horror, 1973

Fear is an absence of knowing. US American saying
