Fear and Gratitude Cannot Coexist

Cancel Fear Be Grateful

Strange Bedfellows?

Are you beset by fears of all kinds, yet say you are grateful? Well, these two, fear and gratitude, would indeed be strange bedfellows were they able to live together.

But the fact is that fear and gratitude cannot coexist. Oh sure, you may filled with fears but any thought of being grateful at the same time is a pretense. 

In fact, fear cancels out gratitude.

Fear is the greatest of all character deficiencies. It is, in fact, the summed point of origin of ALL character deficiencies. In other words...all negative aspects of your character you manifest inwardly to self and outwardly to the world is a deficiency of character.

And ALL deficiencies of character are manifestations of hue-manimal fear.

The Nature and Origin of Self-protection and Selfishness

Self-protectiveness is the nature of all animals, including the hue-manimal physiological energy-system. 

Fear is rooted in both natural self-protectiveness and selfishness.

Consciousness is not inherent in physical energy-systems, unless that physical energy-system is responsive to mind.

However, mind can be superimposed upon a physical energy-system, because it is responsive to mind. 

This is the explanation for the evolution of physical energy-systems which eventually produce hue-manimals capable of discovering, knowing and returning to the Infinite Mind, the Eternal Son and the Paradise Father.

The Real Reason Why Fear and Gratitude Cannot Coexist

You may learn to cancel fear by understanding true gratitude.
91:8.4 To some individuals prayer is the calm expression of gratitude; to others, a group expression of praise, social devotions; sometimes it is the imitation of another's religion, while in true praying it is the sincere and trusting communication of the spiritual nature of the creature with the anywhere presence of the spirit of the Creator.
91:9.1 If you would engage in effective praying, you should bear in mind the laws of prevailing petitions:

1. You must qualify as a potent prayer by sincerely and courageously facing the problems of universe reality. You must possess cosmic stamina.

2. You must have honestly exhausted the human capacity for human adjustment. You must have been industrious.

3. You must surrender every wish of mind and every craving of soul to the transforming embrace of spiritual growth. You must have experienced an enhancement of meanings and an elevation of values.

4. You must make a wholehearted choice of the divine will. You must obliterate the dead center of indecision.

5. You not only recognize the Father's will and choose to do it, but you have effected an unqualified consecration, and a dynamic dedication, to the actual doing of the Father's will.

6. Your prayer will be directed exclusively for divine wisdom to solve the specific human problems encountered in the Paradise ascension —the attainment of divine perfection.

7. And you must have faith—living faith.

And should you choose to read and re-read this article, the true reason why fear and gratitude cannot coexist becomes obvious.

What to Do Every Time You Feel Fear

Invite your indwelling spirit of God--your Thought Adjuster to participate in every action you take to be wholly present and the keen observer of your negative, fearful thoughts.
  1. Every time you feel fear, become the Observer of your fear, rather than "allowing" it to consume you.
  2.  Isolate the thought you just had.
  3. Then, capture the thought.
  4. Look at the thought for "just what it is and represents."
  5. Reason through "why" this thought causes "fear."
  6. Then, ask yourself: "Is this who I REALLY am?"
  7. Discern the "REAL" you.
  8. Now, disown the fear-causing thought.
  9. And now, replace it with its opposite: a positive injunction.
  10. And "allow" yourself to experience the feeling of being in greater control of your animal self.
Also, realize that your indwelling spirit of God--the Thought Adjuster is your powerful ally in every decision you make to be more sincere with yourself and others and in every action you take to advance your soul-growth into truer and truer character.

You Are the Victim of Your Own Mind | Any Questions?

 you are the victim of your own mind You Are the Victim of Your Own Mind  Any Questions? Victimization by Others vs. Self-victimization Is there a point where early victimization (by others) in childhood is no longer other-victimization but self-victimization? At what age could this be said to be true? Being victimized by parents (one or both), by foster parents (one or both), by a step-dad or step-mom (or both), an uncle, an aunt, a cousin, etc. begins a life-long tragedy of suffering in the mind of the victimized individual. But when the victimization by another or others stops (for whatever reason), at what point do you continue on in self-victimization , when you are old enough to make a different choice? The answer is likely that of personal choices to grow or to not grow in soul-awareness. In my own experience, it took until 29 years of age to make a different choice--a soul-conscious choice to no longer victimize myself and start down the path to healing. It took 11 mor...

the first 4 of the 28 principles in the urantia book The 1st of the 28 Principles  in The Urantia Book  The Great Question Number One 1. Is courage—strength of character—desirable? Then must man be reared in an environment which necessitates grappling with hardships and reacting to disappointments. The Great Goal of Hue-man Attainment It is to the mind of perfect poise, housed in a body of clean habits, stabilized neural energies, and balanced chemical function—when the physical, mental, and spiritual powers are in triune harmony of development—that a maximum of light and truth can be imparted with a minimum of temporal danger or risk to the real welfare of such a being. By such a balanced growth does man ascend the circles of planetary progression one by one, from the seventh to the first. The Urantia Book 110:6.4    On the Path to Understanding the "Mastery of Self" It is accurate to say that "understanding" the 28 principles of "high mortal philosophy" ...

Arrogance is the Camouflage of Insecurity | What Do YOU Fear?

  arrogance is the camouflage of insecurity Arrogance is the Camouflage of Insecurity   What Do YOU Fear that Makes YOU Arrogant? Give Me Liberty If one man craves freedom — liberty — he must remember that all other men long for the same freedom. The Urantia Book , ( 134:6.1 ) Arrogance is Mimicry I was recently asked on social media: " So tell me please, when did you first come to think something like soul could be real, do you remember?" And my response was: Thank you for asking this question, a rare question indeed in my experience and an excellent one. (I love for others to ask questions of me.) The First Moral Decision At five and one-half years of age I made a more unconscious than conscious decision that I wanted to be  like God, based on the little information provided to me by my grandmother.  I admired the qualities of character of the idea and concept of God, because I admired those same qualities which I saw in my grandmother. To the child mind, it w...
