From being a coward to being courageous

In the beginning there is not much difference between a coward and a courageous person. The only difference is that the coward listens and succumbs to his fears, while the courageous one brushes them aside and moves on. The courageous one steps into the unknown despite all fears. « Osho: Courage.

Beloved humans,

This message contains everything that constitutes a successful existence of a human being. Anyone who plucks up courage and overcomes their fears can truly be considered fortunate – and overcoming your fears and plucking up courage is what this message is about.

Don’t think that you should never be fearful at all and must always be free from fear. Never put such demands upon your life, because life is abundantly full of everything – even fears.

Getting through fears courageously    

Embrace your fears, accept them, and get ready to transcend them. Don’t shy away from it and get past anything that paralyzes you. Move on and move through your fears. Whenever you feel the kind of fear that lingers in your system and wants to stick with you permanently, check if it is really justified. Get to the bottom of it to find the cause.

Courage is rarely a virtue one is born with. Most people slowly develop their courageous nature – or, a bit more each day, they become courageous warriors of light. In the process, there are many small “moments of cowardice” that one needs to get over, until gradually the precious quality of courage emerges from a person. Whenever you face injustice or you become aware of unacceptable situations around you, it may almost burst out of you.

So take all the time you need to become courageous. Train your courage as if it were a muscle. Build upon your sense of achievement and never judge yourself if you “fail”; whenever you have created cowardice instead of courage – fail and fail again, until you succeed!

That’s the way – please never give up on it. The message is: Never allow yourself to get discouraged by your own cowardice and always remain conscious of your AS-IS STATE.

The right approach is to become aware of your own fears, to then check whether they are justified, and to pass through them in the end. Any fear is overcome by facing it.

The fear of darkness is not conquered by avoiding darkness but by exposing yourself to it.

I’m telling you: At some point every soul is ready to deal with what seemed unthinkable for the longest time. At some point there comes a moment in time for every human being when one defeats the inner coward and faces life with courage.

Before you can completely get involved with god, you need to fully accept life on this earth. Fear and despondence are part of this life, the part that needs to be transcended and transformed by human beings. Then trust in life can emerge, and only then devotion to god becomes possible. A consistently scared and despondent person keeps aloof not only from other people but first and foremost from god.

Most people are not “born into” courage. The path to courage always leads through working with small fears that need to be transcended. A person grows with their tasks. Smaller fears that have been released clear the view to your bigger fears – and gradually you regain your power and start experiencing the unknown as something enriching.

Achieving fearlessness

Fearlessness lies at the end of this process. To strive for this now should be the highest goal of those who want to give this world and mankind a new face. The time when this matrix shows its true nature has come. Its nature is fear, because this matrix is held together only by human fear.

Fears of the apocalypse, of a huge war, or the fear of losing a person, thing or situation one has become fond of, seem to have befallen many people. People feel that their existence is threatened – the danger to their lives appears to be growing. You must face these fears now and check the legitimacy of each and any sentiment of fear.

Start by going with the flow of life.

Life happens with or without you – it happens with you if you have complete faith in the divine flow.

Life doesn’t comply with you – you need to comply with life, which means aligning with god and fully giving yourself over to his divine guidance.

The biggest fear of a human being is to become entirely reliant on god. The ego avoids the nearness of god, because it must disintegrate in the presence of god. The mind supports the ego by always creating reasons for avoiding the unity of a human being with god.

So be aware: Fears – on all levels – are always kept alive by the mind. Where there is nothing to be threatened, there are no fears. Only the ego can be threatened, but never the eternal and infinite Self. In order to realize this you need a spiritual approach to life and a meditative spirit.

Once you are dead, no one can kill you anymore. I am inviting you now to die this death. Two steps are necessary for this:

• to know, accept and transform your fears;
• to grow into the divine presence of your eternal being.

At the end of this process you will have overcome all fears; cowardice will be replaced by courage, and your divine consciousness will emerge.

What is eternal can never die, what is infinite has no beginning or end. Truly: human reality exists far beyond all imagination and beyond this world.

I am
