Spiritual Thinking – Gift to Overcome Fear
“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself,” FDR said during his inaugural address in 1933.
Isaiah 41:10 – Fear thou not for I am with thee. Be not dismayed, for I am thy God. I’ll strengthen thee. Yea, I’ll uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
We are all bound by fear sometimes in our lives. There are all kinds of anxiety, fear of the unknown, fear of disease such as the current pandemic, fear of parents, fear of exams, and fear of an authoritative boss. But does it have to be that way? No! As I had mentioned in previous posts, God, the Divine Mind, is with us all the time and guiding us 24/7. The human mind is constantly driven by the human ego that is afraid of everything, and is the origin of fear. If we synchronize our human mind with the divine mind through constant affirmations and prayer, Affirmations and Prayer for Divine Mind Synchronization – Think Spiritually (thinkspiritually.net), then we will be at peace and be able to assess the situations more rationally and realistically and the fear will be gone.

Let us analyze some of the common fears that we will have to deal with in our daily lives and how thinking spiritually will help us overcome them;
• Fear of the unknown :
• This is probably the most common fear that we deal with. Remember when the Israelites left Egypt away from the hardships they faced under the Pharaohs, with Moses leading them to their land? With Pharoh’s army following them, they ran into the Red Sea and feared being slaughtered. They were even more scared when Moses asked them to walk right through the sea. Moses was able to seek Divine Mind’s help, and nothing was impossible for God. The sea, aided by strong winds, parted into two, allowing the Jewish people to cross through. We are facing a similar situation, with the Pandemic holding us by the throat for nearly two years globally. Spiritually speaking, this is a manifestation of unreality; like any other disease, the majority of us believe in the Pandemic. Vaccines have been helpful, but the virus seems to be a few steps ahead. The vaccines are a necessary materialistic solution, giving us time to reflect. Even in this worldly temporal solution, it is evident that there is a spiritual angle to it. Because the virus is so very contagious, even though some of us may be free from infection, the God-like selflessness we can show by protecting our fellow human beings by getting vaccinated and wearing masks since we all probably carry the virus. However, we may be immune from infection. Spiritually thinking is the fundamental courtesy that we can show to our fellow human beings. The ultimate disappearance of the virus will depend on a majority of human beings demonstrating the unreality of the virus by synchronizing our minds with the Divine Mind in each of us. While the disease is one of the unknowns, there are other unknowns, such as the future in turbulent times, such as the fast climate changes that cause devastating earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, etc. These can destabilize our thinking if we do not constantly seek Divine Mind’s guidance.
• Fear of authoritarian superiors:
• This probably is a significant cause of fear in the workplace and non-democratic situations. I had occasions when I had superiors who fit this category; when I think about it, authoritarians tend to be that way because of extreme insecurity in themselves and their need for constant assurance that they are wiser than others. Some even become incredibly paranoid. In my situations, when I felt that I could offer some reassurance to them they were even more paranoid and insecure, making it very difficult. God and Divine Mind also create them, and we can feel compassion towards them as much as possible until God finds a way. But certainly, God has given us the gift of thinking spiritually, which will help us overcome the fear towards them. It must be difficult for people living in non-democratic countries under authoritarian rule. Spiritual thinking is a gift to overcome fear.
• Fear of Parents, exams, etc:
• By properly analyzing and with compassion and spiritual thinking, it will be obvious that we go through these only for our good and are necessities that we have to go through. This will ease our fears and be able to think clearly through these situations.
• In conclusion, spiritual thinking is God’s gift to overcome fear, and we can make the best use of it.
