The mechanics of fear

T.G.I. Friday everyone! It seems every direction I turn there is some kind of troubling news coming from somewhere, I don't read the newspaper or watch the news and yet, it still seems to find it's way to me, why is this?, when I stumble across something unsettling it troubles me, I tend to get worked up about the pointless wars, greed, poverty of millions, and the damage to our planet. A few weeks ago innocent people were shot down in an airliner because of being in hostile air space and I began to question how and why?, when I hear of things like this it shifts my perspective from a peaceful world view to a cruel world of ignorance. This, is my past thinking re-surfacing, before learning conscious creation, my view of the world was that of hopelessness for mankind, I didn't even believe that the world was capable of solving it's own problems, and as I watched and inundated myself with negativity, and the news that reported it, my thinking became a perpetual cycle of pessimism and hopelessness. Fast forward four years, and I've moved away from this mindset, but only to become ensnared once again by the old thinking patterns, attracting even more troubling news from other parts of the world, but I wasn't feeling so much the fear, but just focusing and feeling concern over these things, ATTRACTING more of these things to focus on, and we are all aware of some of the troubles that are going on right now in the world. Even the most disciplined deliberate creator cannot deny the senseless wars and killing that's occurring today, but how can we view a peaceful world in light of all this?, even more, how can we ignore it? I can see how fear controls humanity, look at the recent events of these past thirteen years and it's easy to see that the role of the news media has and always will be to keep us locked into this dis-empowering fearful mindset. What amazes me is that this stuff always has a way of finding it's way to me, and even though I avoid the news and headlines altogether, the minute I focus on it,''like attracts like'' thoughts follow, so I require myself immediately to change focus, because if fear begins to set in, that's an emotion, then it really get's dangerous, and the cycle begins. Fear and law of attraction are a very lethal mix, look no further than when the housing market bubble burst and the banks crashed a few years back and you get a good idea, and it's quite possible that these too, were deliberate by their own nature, but we're not going into conspiracy theories here. Friends, these are all wake up calls for the collective consciousness, sending the message that we must course correct and dis-engage from the fear, or we will only compound the devastating events we so much want to avoid, we have a hard enough time at this individually, but more important than any time in history, we must overcome fear collectively, and tests are coming, giving opportunity to learn and grow as a whole, for consciousness, as a whole. When the shift into higher consciousness occurred, as subtle to most as it was, it did not mean that things would get worse for this earth like so many believe, it is simply an indicator to fix what's broken, to start the healing process collectively, as well as the healing of nature itself and if this is not resolved, consequences will come in the form of nature taking matters of healing in it's own hands, with or without us. As I am still a work in progress, I've released a lot of fear on certain subjects in my life, but there seems to still be some deep-ingrained fears lurking, but they seem to feel more like concerns rather than mind numbing fears, so they have eased up over these past few years, and as WE align to our true selves, they do indeed dissolve. As troubling as the events of the world are, we can't ignore them, sure, we can ''avoid'' the news and even live in denial looking through rose colored glasses, but I believe the real work here is to face and overcome fear one person at a time, then collectively, now, imagine a world without fear.
