If you shift your consciousness to oneness, or that there is only one consciousness, you don't experience fear anymore. . |
yes I like this model and agree with it! When I am being driven by fear it is basically because I have forgotten this and have been sucked into the illusion of seperation. When I remember it I feel peaceful again:-)

I don't like what he is saying now and they contradict his original teachings. Moreover, he is not explaining how what he is saying now relates to all he has been writing and saying about non-duality and subjective reality. |
Yea I totally agree. It does contradict. In fact the polarity concept can only apply if your living in the illusion of seperation, the illusion of lack and suffering.
I suppose the interesting point is that you can get results based on fear, like getting fit because your frightened of heart disease but ultimately isnt that because you love being healthy? Fear and love are in this way two sides of the same coin, it just comes down to what you want to focus on! However surely according to the LOA if you are doing something motivated by fear and thus focusing on that fear arent you inviting it into your life. Therefore in the above example you might get fit but get heart disease anyway!
Wolfgang, (sorry dont know how to put quotes in from different people) I agree, you cant love anyone else if you dont love yourself especially if we are all one and the same!
