    Fear arises from living in one's mind rather than in reality. The mind imagines past and future scenarios that do not exist in the present moment. This causes people to suffer from things that are not real. Fear puts boundaries around a person's life that protects them even from experiencing life fully. When fear is used as a tool to avoid risks, it decreases a person's intensity and ability to feel ecstatic emotions and truly experience life. Fundamentally, fear is about worrying over possible future events that have not happened yet and may not happen at all.

    What is Fear and How To Overcome Fear?

    What is Fear?

    Fear is simply because you are not living with life, you are living in your mind. Your fear is
    always about what’s going to happen next. That means your fear is always about that which
    does not exist. If your fear is about the non-existent, your fear is hundred percent imaginary.
    If you are suffering the non-existential, we call that insanity. So, people may be in just
    socially accepted levels of insanity, but if you’re afraid or if you’re suffering anything which
    does not exist, it amounts to insanity, isn’t it?

    What Causes Fear?

    People are always suffering either what happened yesterday or what may happen tomorrow.
    So your suffering is always about that which does not exist, simply because you’re not rooted
    in reality, you’re always rooted in your mind. Mind is – one part of it is memory, another part
    of it is imagination. Both of them are in one way imagination, because both of them don’t
    exist right now. You’re lost in your imagination, that’s the basis of your fear. If you were
    rooted in reality, there would be no fear.

    What fear does is it puts boundaries around you. It is because of fear that you build
    boundaries all the time. If you put boundaries and restrict the area of your life, you may be
    safe but the problem is you are safe even from life. You are protected from life itself. That’s
    real protection!

    The Negative Effects of Fear

    You must decide whether you have come here to experience life or to avoid life. If you have
    come to experience life, one thing that is needed is intensity. If you do not have intensity you
    will experience a meager life. The moment you use fear as a tool to protect yourself, your
    intensity will go down. Once it goes down, your ability to experience life is gone. You
    become a psychological case. What happens in your mind is all there will be. You will never
    experience anything fantastic and ecstatic because when you are fearful, you will not have a
    sense of abandon. You can't sing, you can't dance, you can't laugh, you can't cry, you can't do
    anything that is life. You can only sit here and grieve about life and all the risks of life.

    If you look at it carefully, what is fear about? Your fear is never about what has happened. It
    is always about what may happen. It is always about the future. The future is yet to happen. It
    has not yet happened. That means, it is not in existence. So, being fearful means you are
    suffering that which does not exist. If you suffer that which does not exist, should we call you
    sane or insane? Your only comfort is “everybody is like me.” You have the majority with
    you! But that still doesn’t make it right because you are suffering that which does not exist.
