| Fear of Change [message #227906] |

I feel alone, which is good, but I am confused. I don't know what is
happening. Things are changing around inside me so sometimes I feel
frightened, sometimes there is a floating feeling.
It is natural. Whenever you feel frightened, just relax. Accept
the fact that fear is there, but don't do anything about it. Neglect it; don
't pay any attention to it. Watch the body. There should not be any tension
in it. If tension doesn't exist in the body, the fear disappears
automatically. Fear makes a certain tense state in the body, to get rooted
in it. If the body is relaxed, fear is bound to disappear. A relaxed person
cannot be scared. You cannot frighten a relaxed person. Even if fear comes,
it will come like a wave...it will not get roots.
Fear coming and going like waves and you remaining untouched by it, is
beautiful. When it gets rooted in you and starts growing in you, then it
becomes a growth, a cancerous growth. Then it cripples your inner organism.
So whenever you feel frightened, the one thing to look at is that the
body should not be tense. Lie down on the floor and relax - relaxation is
the antidote for fear - and it will come and go. You simply watch.
That watching should not be of interest - indifferent. One just
accepts that it's okay. The day is hot; what can you do? The body is
perspiring...one has to pass through it. The evening is coming close, and a
cool breeze will be blowing.... So just watch it and be relaxed.
Once you have the knack of it, and you will have it soon - that if you
are relaxed, fear cannot get attached to you, that it comes and goes and
leaves you unscarred - then you have the key. And it will come. It will come
because the more we change, the more fear will be coming.
Every change creates fear, because every change is putting you into
the unfamiliar, into a strange world. If nothing changes and everything
remains static, you will never have any fear. That means, if everything is
dead, you will not be afraid.
For example, you are sitting down and there is a rock Lying down.
There is no problem: you will look at the rock, and everything is okay.
Suddenly the rock starts walking; you become frightened. Aliveness! Movement
creates fear; and if everything is unmoving, there is no fear.
That's why people, afraid of getting into fearful situations, arrange
a life of no change. Everything remains the same and a person follows a dead
routine, completely oblivious that life is a flux. He remains in an island
of his own making in which nothing changes. The same room, the same
photographs, the same furniture, the same house, the same habits, the same
slippers - everything the same. The same brand of cigarettes; even a
different brand you won't like. Between this, amidst this sameness, one
feels at ease.
People live almost in their graves. What you call a convenient and
comfortable life is nothing but a subtle grave. So when you start changing,
when you start on the journey of inner space, when you become an astronaut
of the inner space, and everything is changing so fast, every moment is
trembling with fear. So more and more fear has to be faced.
Let it be there. By and by you will start enjoying the changes so much
that you will be ready at any cost. Change will give you vitality...more
aliveness, zest, energy. Then you will not be like a pond...closed from
everywhere, not moving. You will become like a river flowing towards the
unknown, and towards the ocean where the river becomes lost.
