I can see what you mean, but in this context I'm dealing with fears that have already been created through unconscious ego patterns and then been stuffed into the subconscious. These are long-standing fears that I've associated with specific concepts, all having to do with "future," and bringing them into present moment awareness and doing a "walk-through" seems to dissolve them. And when these specific fears have been dissolved, fear itself in general gradually loses energy/credibility and will not be able to become rooted in the subconscious.
So while it isn't strictly necessary to confront the specific, context dependent, subconscious fears, it helps to accelerate the process of going beyond fear in general. I.e., it's not necessary to call the ego's bluff in order to know that what it says isn't true, but it is a useful tool nonetheless. (at least as a temporary crutch) |
Are you talking about the way you are naturally inclined to behave is infuenced by your subconscious? I often wonder why I dont just get on with certain things. Maybe I need to deal with some subconscious fears?
Can you give me an example of how bringing your fears into the light has changed your behaviour and explain further? I'm not asking you to be personal, just make one up or something. Thanks.
