Mastering Fear

We are sharing space and time together , and for that I'm ever grateful for it . This episode is a request . Quite a few people asked for this . They asked for an episode on fear , on fear , and this is something that I feel like I can speak on because I experience fear . Now I'm just going to go ahead and warn you right now .

I don't know what you got going , but we're going to do some preaching and teaching here . We're going to go straight on , and when I was a little boy , I used to call it church . I wouldn't say church , I said we're going to church . We're going to go to church here . I'm going to break some things down for you to understand this thing that we call fear .

I'm not an expert on fear , but I've dealt with enough of it and deal with enough of it to have an understanding of it , at least at this level of awareness . The first thing we must understand is what fear is . So let's create the analogy of fear of false evidence appearing real , false evidence appearing real . Say it with me False evidence appearing real .

So it's false . That means it's not real . And then it's authentic . Sorry , it appears . So not only is it not real , it appears to be real , so it's false . That means it's not real . And then it's authentic . Sorry , it appears . So not only is it not real , it appears to be real .

So now it's hit us with a double dip Something that was fake is trying to make us think that it's real . No , no , no , no , no , no , no . So then , if it's not real , then what ? No , no , hold on . Your experience of the fear is absolutely real , but the fear itself does not actually exist .

The thing that you are afraid of , the object , does not exist outside of yourself . You are experiencing a mind-made construct . Okay , so let's make it simple for you . I can probably guess what your fears are .

Your fears are either the fear of not being enough , the fear of not doing enough , or , most importantly , probably 99.99999% of you the fear of not being enough . So a lot of us are afraid that we're not enough , that we're not enough . And why ? Because the ego . Let's understand what the ego is . The ego is rooted in survival .

So the ego is competing against the real part of you , the I am the breath of God , the infinite part of you , the consciousness , the spirit , the part of you that does not need to prove that it exists , because it has always existed . It's the alpha and the omega . It transcends space and time . But yet here we are with this mind-made construct , the ego .

It's finite , it's competing against something that's infinite . So what is it doing ? It's seeking to prove that it exists . That's what we call survival , that it exists , that's what we call survival . It's in survival mode . So now it will take survival , primitive survival I'm talking about . Am I going to live or am I going to die ?

Remember , human beings are the only creature that we know of that knows that we're going to die . The fear of death in the ego's mind is the same exact thing as the fear of being enough , and this is why you're so terrified of death and being enough .

Really , at the end of the day , you're just worried about if you're going to live , because if I'm enough , that means I'm alive . But the ego's like , well , shh , I don't know if I'm enough , I have a fear . The fear is nothing more than your lack of awareness . So , if we think of fear as darkness , darkness can't exist where there's light .

It's not that darkness is bad , it's just there's a lack of light , that's all it is . So , through my awareness of why I'm afraid , what I'm afraid of now , it can't exist in the lower vibration of light . It can't exist in darkness . You ain't never going to be afraid of something that you understand . Go ahead and don't at me on that one .

You will never be afraid of something that you understand . The only reason why you are afraid , or you have fears , is because you don't really know what the thing is that you're actually afraid of . May I go deeper ?

This may be triggering for some of you , but stay with me because I promise you we're going to get to a part where you will not be afraid anymore . So sometimes I hear people are afraid of being alone . I have a fear of being alone . Why do you have a fear of being alone ? Stay with me . I have a fear of being alone because what if nobody wants me ?

Okay , why do you have a fear of nobody wants you ? Well , I mean , I don't know it's because , unconsciously , you didn't realize you had this desire , this innate , quote-unquote need that the ego had developed . But really it was just a want .

You felt as though I needed someone else's validation and approval for me to be able to validate and approve myself , because you maybe , growing up , never got taught , someone never taught you how to validate and approve yourself . So now you gave out permission slips , you put your validation and approval on the outside .

So now you need someone to validate and approve of yourself . Sometimes we refer to this as friends , sometimes we refer to this as partners , but now you're using them as placeholders . So I can't be alone , because if I'm alone , where's my source , where's my energy supply ? I have no validation . I have no one to approve of me .

And now guess what the ego does prove on me . And now guess what the ego does . The ego's like well , we can't do that . I'm not feeling this . I'm not going to sit here and deal with not being enough . Hey , I got an idea . Let's create fear around it . Let's create fear around it , and now we'll never have to touch it . So that way , guess what ?

Now she's going to get so caught up in the fear of it She'll never get to the root of it , she'll never deal with being enough . She'll be so caught up in the fear how about that ? And you see what ends up happening . So now , guess what we're going to do . Now , this is the vibration , the frequency that we're in Simple electromagnetism .

We will always attract whatever we're putting out . So now guess what . You're going to attract somebody in your life who has the same exact frequency , the same exact wounds , the same exact complex , the fear of not being enough . So guess what they're going to do . They're going to go try to find somebody else to validate them .

I think in human terms they call that cheating , they call it infidelity , that's what it's called . So I'm going to go find somebody else who validates me . The other one has a fear of being alone . So guess what they'll do . Oh , I'll do whatever they . I'll stay in a relationship , I'll stay with them , I'll do whatever it takes .

So that way they don't leave me , so that way I don't . You see how this works . And now guess what we call this . What do they call this ? A toxic relationship . And now we're caught up in this perpetual cycle . All because you were afraid that you would not be enough . That was the fear . So now let's get to the metaphysics of it .

Now , when we start understanding what fear does and how fear essentially plagues us in our life , the first thing you have to do is , when you feel the fear , you know what fear is . When you feel the fear , ask yourself this question what is the danger ? What is the danger ?

Truly , because if the fear is coming without an obvious danger , that means that there's something subconsciously , below the surface , that has nothing to do with your present moment , your circumstances that are happening right now .

Here's the other thing and hear me when I say this because somebody made a comment like oh so if there's a bear attacking me , if there's a bear attacking me , then I'm not supposed to have . I'm not talking about your actual survival instincts . I'm talking about the emotional fear , the mental fears around emotional wounds that you're unaware of .

Never ignore the fear . Never ignore the fear . The fear is carrying information . It's trying to show you that there's things within you that are not contributing to your overall well-being .

So anytime that we feel fear , that's because there's a distortion of a perspective around a narrative , around a past experience that is cogging the energy within me and my chakra , which is my root , which , where fear exists , my base chakra , right , my root chakra it's not able to allow the energy to flow .

So now , if the energy's not flowing , guess what I can't do ? I can't extract the information , and that's all . The fear was intended to do , anyway , was to bring more information , to bring more awareness to something that you were not aware of . So now , let's go a little deeper . Okay , let's go a little deeper .

Now that I know that it's my fear of not being enough , I'm going to try and break this down as best as I can . You have a fear of not being enough , and the reason why you have a fear of not being enough is because you think that it was possible that enoughness existed outside of this moment that we call now . See , we say being enough .

Being is a present thing . You can only be . I can't be in the future . I can't be in the past , I can only be now , and enoughness only existed in the present moment . Enoughness doesn't exist tomorrow . I don't have enough for tomorrow . Enoughness doesn't exist in this mind-made construct that we call the past . I don't have enough for tomorrow .

Enough just doesn't exist in this mind-made construct that we call the past . I don't have enough for tomorrow , for yesterday . That's what we call regret , you see . So when I don't have enough for tomorrow , I feel like we call that anxiety . When I don't have enough for yesterday , we call that regret .

But we know that the only thing that exists right now is now , and we're called a human being , we're not called a human doing , we're not called a human worrying , so the only thing that exists is the being , which is always fixated in this present moment . So hold on now , d stay with me . Hold on now .

So you mean to tell me that the fear of being enough is because I'm not recognizing that I'm enough right now , because enoughness could only exist right now . So this is just telling me that I'm not present . This is the point of fear . This is the point of it .

It's trying to show you that there's something in the past that had happened , and now you're projecting that into the future . It's trying to tell you that you're not present . So this is why I have to sit with myself every morning , every single morning . Come back to now . Just quiet my eyes , sorry , quiet my mind . Close my eyes . What is it ?

Or is there anything that we're afraid of ? Yeah , I'm worried about this , this and this ? Okay , well , why are you so worried about it ? Because what if it doesn't happen ? Well , why are you so dependent on it happening ? Because I need it to happen . Well , why do you need it to happen ? You don't need anything to happen . What is this ? What is this ?

Ah , dg , you slippery , slippery little chap , you , you had put your worth , you had put your self-awareness , you had put your awareness of self outside of you , in something as a material object or accomplishment , in hopes that it would make you enough . There's a distortion going on here of the energy . What is it ? What is this ?

There's something within me that needs to be resolved . There's something within me that needs to be resolved . So this is what we sometimes refer to as inner child healing . Right , I'm not going to get into it on this episode , but I'm going to tell you this . I'm going to speak life into you right now .

Okay , you have nothing outside of you to be afraid of . Okay , there's nothing outside of you . There's no boogeyman , there's no government , there's no employer , there's no parents , there's no spouse . There's nothing outside of you that you're afraid of . That was the illusion .

See , we take all of these mind-made constructs and perspectives and paradigms and we project them outward . And now we think that I'm scared of that . I'm scared of that . You ain't scared of that Because if I were to put you to sleep , you wouldn't be worried about none of it . It's happening within your own sphere of awareness . So what if , what if ?

Stay with me , good God , almighty . What if your fears were nothing more than beliefs that you just subscribed to ? I know , when you're on social media and somebody says something that you follow you don't have a problem Ever hit unfollow . You hit unfollow like that . I'll unfollow him with the quickness he said something that didn't fall within my beliefs .

Unfollow , unsubscribe . You see you have no problem doing that . How come you won't unsubscribe to the beliefs that you

have around fear ? Then , when you start understanding that fear was nothing more than a belief that a negative outcome was going to happen , based off of past experiences Can I say that again , so you can go ahead and write this down , and go ahead and tag me on your story . I'll go ahead and repost it with a cool graphic , because it looks cool .

Fear was nothing more than a belief that a negative outcome was going to transpire , based off of past experiences . That's all fear was Fear ain't inherently real . It's not real . It's not real outside of you . You are creating it . You've done it . What if somebody said this to you Go ahead and write down all your fears . Okay , bet , yep , got them .

Wrote them down . Now I'm going to give you a million dollars every time you overcome a fear . I bet you'd figure out how to overcome these fears , wouldn't you ? I bet you would figure out a way to overcome these fears . Wait , I get a million for what ? You start making up fears . Well , I'm afraid of my eyelashes , I'm afraid of my tongue .

You'd figure out a way , because this money , this outside resource , gave you a reason to develop a new belief , a new state of courage . You would have just enough courage to start walking towards the dark . Do you see how this works ? You don't have to have something outside of you to be able to do this .

So I got to start speaking life over you right now , to get you to understand this . You already were equipped with everything that was needed for you to chase , run down and tackle the fears that you have created within your own mind .

You already came with the capabilities inside , but there was going to have to be something that you would have to do yourself that nobody else could do . You could borrow their energy , but you were going to have to use the energy of courage .

And here's what courage says I'm going to try , and I may quote , unquote , fail , but I'll figure out a way to try it again . You are going to have to do this if you are going to ever overcome your fears . And here's what ends up happening with fear the more you start running at it , fear is going to turn around . Fear is going to turn around .

And now guess what ? This energy of courage , this energy of courage starts to breed encouragement . And now I'm encouraged . I'm encouraged because I have this courage . I no longer walk in the energy of discouraged . Most of us , most of us walk around discouraged . You know what discouragement is .

May I break this down for you , really , what discouragement is , energetically , what it's saying , because I know , I felt this last week , man , I felt so discouraged . I'm like what is this ? I was discouraged for like five days . I have never felt like this . What is going on ? I'm like I'm having another awakening . What is going ?

And then I realized what discouragement was . Obviously , discouragement is the opposite of encouragement , and encouragement is . We hear the word courage in it and encouragement . We hear the word courage in it . When you feel discouraged , that's because it's the lack of you surrendering to the outcome that already existed .

I was discouraged Because the outcome that I was trying to hold on to sorry , the ego was holding on to it's got to be this way , it's got to look like that . It wasn't happening . So now I feel discouraged because life is doing not what I expected to do , what the ego had expected to do . Remember , the ego can only live in the past and the future .

The ego can only live in the past and the future . So if it can only live in the past and the future , all it can do is develop expectations . You got no expectations . When you have no expectations , you will feel peace . But what ends up happening is now we're walking in this energy of discouragement and it's hard for us to surrender . We can't surrender .

So people ask me how do I surrender ? How do I let go ? You got to trust that the outcome , it already exists . It already exists . So fear the fear of what if it doesn't happen ? What if it doesn't work ? What if I'm not enough ? That's a great question . That's a great question . What if it doesn't happen ? What if I'm not enough ? What if it fails ?

What if it doesn't work out ? What if ? What if ? What if ? What if ? What if ? Those are all mind-made future concepts , abstract , they don't actually exist . What if the same amount of energy that it took for you to have this belief called fear , it took the same amount of energy for you to have this belief that we call faith ?

We spend so much of our energy on fear . If you look at media , if you look at everything is outside , right . I'm just talking about entertainment , the media . It's premised around fear . I don't ever see really that much predicated around faith . Faith and fear were the same doggone thing . We know , we've talked about this , we've talked about this .

They were the same doggone thing . We know , we've talked about this , we've talked about this . They were the same thing . They took the same amount of energy . Same amount of energy , it's just one . You are going to have to be intentional because of the way the system , the matrix , was set up . You're programmed to live in fear . Fear means you're surviving .

Why ? Because the ego is the tool that we're using . That's the tool that we're using . It's rooted in survival . See , spirit don't need the ego . Good God Almighty . Jesus didn't need Satan . You see what I'm saying . God didn't need the devil . No , the spirit didn't need the ego . The ego , though , needed the spirit . Remember who was driving the car .

The car was the ego , the car was the ego , the car was the ego . So the car was the GPS . The GPS ain't going to take you anywhere without the driver . That was spirit , that was consciousness , that was being , that was the breath of God . That was what you actually were . That does not feel fear , that does not know fear .

It knows nothing but love and light . So , when I told you that this was a distortion of information , a distortion of light , when you are living in a state of fear , please understand that you're just living from the fractured part of you . You're not living from the real part of you , and I have to have that awareness .

I have to be able to say to myself in this moment , right now , the fear that DG is feeling is unwarranted . He's asleep . I must wake up , I must wake him up . You're asleep right now . Dg , wake up , wake up .

There was nothing for you to fear , there was nothing for you to be afraid of , there was nothing that existed outside of my awareness and where I put my awareness would be what I created . Because I am the . I am so fear . We all got fears . We've all created fears , all of us , I don't care who you are , we've created them .

Some we got rid of , some of them we still dwell in . How about this ? You give yourself permission in 2024 or whatever year you're listening to this 2025 , whatever year , 2028 . You give yourself permission each year to overcome at least one fear .

So I gave myself in 2024 , right this fear of not being enough that by the time 2025 comes I don't know if it's going to be gone , it won't all probably be gone , but I will have just a little bit more awareness to know , when it comes up that this , this is not me , this is DG's unawareness right now , but that's not me that I would at least get to

that awareness . So I wouldn't fall for the magic trick , I wouldn't fall for the illusion . I wouldn't fall for , for the , the trick that the ego had created to make me think that I was not enough . Can you imagine ? Can you imagine ? Let me just speak to your spirit right now . Please Stay with me .

Close your eyes If you're driving , pull over that which you actually are pure light , the infinite , infinite creativity , infinite information , the infinite , infinite creativity , infinite information , that which exists outside of space and time .

You know that awareness that when you're in that meditative state , you're just aware , just pure presence , that which you actually are . Imagine it fell for a trick .

It fell for the illusion that it was not enough , that it believed it was money or believed it was status , it believed it was validation from others , it believed that it was approval , it believed that it was anything outside of itself . Just imagine how silly it would look at the situation . I am literally a drop from the ocean .

No , I am the ocean in the form of a drop . What did Jesus say in the Bible , in John 1.5 , it is the light that lit up all of mankind , the light that dwells in all the indwelling spirit .

Imagine , spirit looking at this little knuckleheaded ego saying you , little mother , you over here making me think , you , trying to make me think that I was this money , I was his house , I was his approval , I was her validation , I was all of these things . I am no longer any of these things . I'm identifying with that which I actually am .

I'm identifying with any of these things . I'm identifying with that which I actually am . And when you start to identify with the I am , you'll start to see that there was no identity . There was no name , there was no face , there was no personal reality , personality that could encapsulate that which you actually are .

And now there was no fear to be enough , because you were everything . You were the I am . You were everything , but yet you were no thing . So , fears , I challenge you to spend some time under tension , sit with yourself , sit with under tension , sit with yourself , sit with your fears , sit with them , talk to them , find out more about them . I do .

I got these fears . You know what I do . I realize sometimes it takes longer than others , but I just got to face it . I got to face it . I got to write it down . Here's what I'm afraid of . Here's why I'm afraid . Here's how I'm afraid . Here's how I'm feeling . I'm afraid that I won't be enough . I'm afraid that I won't have enough .

I'm afraid that I won't do enough . Why do you feel that ? That ain't your fear . Where does this come from ? You've always had enough . You'll always had enough . You always will have enough . What is this ? This isn't my fears , this is someone else's . Good God , almighty . This is where life changes .

When you realize that you weren't even carrying your own fears , stay with me , stay with me , stay with me here , stay with me . You realize that you weren't even carrying your own fears .

These fears aren't yours , this isn't your energy , because you have the conscious awareness , your soul that maybe is just a little bit older , a little bit more advanced , has a little bit more experience , a little bit more wisdom , and you know deep down inside that I don't know why I have this fear . Because you're carrying somebody else's baby .

You're a surrogate of fear . This was not your fear . I look at my life now and there's a lot of fears that I've had to overcome , but these fears aren't necessarily my fears . These fears were programmed from maybe my caregivers , from maybe people who had influence over me . These were not my fears that I inherently created inside of my own mind .

Now , don't get me wrong . I do have some fears that I created in my own mind , but these fears were generational . So when you start to understand that they're generational , you can start to make some space . Right now , you can go ahead and go and make some space for grace . You can create a buffer and say this fear that I have isn't necessarily mine , why ?

Yeah , I got the work to do . I got the work to do . I got the work to do , but this isn't mine . You know how it is . When you I asked my son the other day there's something on the floor , I said can you clean that up ? He said I didn't do this . Ruby did it . I said I know , I know I get it .

I get it , but by you cleaning it up , you're helping me and you're helping everybody else that lives in this house . Can you just clean that up for me ? You see how this works . So I know you ain't just cleaned up your mess , you ain't just overcoming your fears . It ain't just your fears .

I know that I get it , but you have the awareness that there's a mess , good God , almighty . You have the awareness to know that this does not resonate with the frequency of love and light and that what I actually am . So do you have to clean it up ? You don't have to , but you're built for it . If you're listening to this podcast , you're built for it .

If you're part of the community by DG Mindset , you're built for it . If you're going on these retreats , you're working on yourself , you're getting into yoga and meditation and prayer and breath work and you're trying to find yourself and heal wounds . You're built for it . If you're on this , live right now , you're built for it .

Go towards the fears , whether they were yours or not . Go towards them , learn them , shine that light of awareness on them and I promise you it will echo and create a ripple in space and time for eternity .

I was raised with this fear of not having enough Poverty consciousness . Poverty consciousness , as we would say , right . I was raised with this fear of not having enough Poverty consciousness . Poverty consciousness , as we would say right . Not having enough . You got to save , put it away . You better have enough . And this keeps coming up . Do I have enough ?

Do I have enough ? Do I have enough ? What if I don't have enough ? Oh no , and you look at something and say I don't have enough . And now it keeps going . It keeps going , it keeps going . And I realized that this isn't necessarily my fear , it's not my wound , because I've always had enough . I got real work to do here . So what do I have to do ?

I have to start doing those things that are uncomfortable . I have to do those things that create more fear . I have to consciously step into those spaces . I have to go and move into these places that are really uncomfortable for me and I got to just keep moving .

And you scared to walk into a room and you got to put your arms out and you're feeling around it's dark and you can't see anything . I got to keep moving forward because I'm not just healing me , I'm healing my kids , because I grew up with the fear of not being enough , not having enough , and then , which equated into not being enough .

But here's what I do with my kids now . I don't ever tell my kids we can't do it because it costs too much . I don't ever bring up anything that has to do with money and say no , no , no , that costs too much , never , never , never .

Because I don't want my kids , I don't ever want my kids to look at the monetary , man-made price of something or think of this mind-made , man-made , ego-made concept of ego in every quaint , their enoughness to it . This is what poverty consciousness is . It's when you look at something and you think , because I don't have enough of it now , I'm not enough .

So I never tell my kids . I may say tell my kids , nope , we're not doing that , but it's never because , no , that costs too much . I don't want them to think , I don't want them to believe . Do you see what I'm saying ? Well , here's my point . Here's my point . Here's my point .

That was the work that I had to do on myself to keep me from passing it down to them . And while it seems trivial and it seems like oh , wow , yeah , no , that's what generational healing looks like , I've stopped the cycle . I'm the one who took his shirt off and flexed his muscles , like Clark Kent , and said I'm going to stop this train .

I'm going to stop this generational train of fear from running down these tracks anymore . You got it , didn't you ? Walk into the fear . Walk into it and you'll start to see . It wasn't actually the thing that you . It was validation or approval , or being enough . It was the fear that was plaguing you .

It was the fear of not having enough , the fear of not doing enough , the fear of not being enough . That's what was really the issue . And now I've become somewhat , for this moment , space and time , I've become okay with not being enough . I'm okay with not having enough . Okay , I don't have enough . Now what Sun still ?

Come up in the east and it go down in the west , the world will keep spinning . I still have yet another opportunity to figure out this thing called life , and this is where the vibration of courage will come in . As long as I'm here , as long as the sun comes up in the east and goes down in the west , I have oxygen in these lungs .

I have another opportunity to figure this thing out and I'm going to figure it out . So when I'm at this , when they're at my funeral , they're never going to say he wasn't doing all he could to try and figure out himself . Walk towards the fear , my friend . Walk towards the fire , walk towards the darkness .

You already have the flashlight , you already have the fire retardant suit , you already had everything that was needed for you to work on these distorted parts of your perspective from the past , so that way you could heal . And , as always , I wish you nothing but the best on the pathway to your results .
