Fear is a tool we use to pretend that we don't know

I had the privilege of some alone time the other day. After taking care of things around the house and having dinner, I decided to watch a romance movie to lift my spirits. I came across a Turkish film called "Doom of Love," which tells the story of a young man who experiences the bankruptcy of his ad agency and then falls in love with a singer at a yoga retreat. They embark on a journey of self-realization together. I won't spoil the movie for you, but I wanted to share my thoughts about it. What struck me the most was the unique feeling I had after watching it. That feeling didn't hit me right away; it took about 30 minutes to sink in. The phrase that came to my mind was, "Fear is a tool we use to pretend we don’t know." I hope to be able to convey that realization and feeling in words.

Then it hits me….

After watching the movie, I had a profound realization; I started talking to myself, saying… every version of myself is happening right now. Although this concept wasn't entirely new to me, I had never truly grasped it before. It was like this deep inner knowing that resonated within my body, this feeling usually brings tears or wild laughter. This time, it was both! I started to contemplate the version of myself that I dream of becoming, and I realized that she has never existed and will never exist in the future. It was an eye-opening moment. It became clear to me that when people say you need to tune in to a certain frequency to listen to a radio station, it doesn't mean that the station wasn't playing before you tuned in. It's like changing the radio frequency - the previous station is still playing at the same time as the one you are now listening to. Any version of yourself that you desire is happening right here and now, and when you decide to tune into that version, you change your frequency and become that version in no time (time is something we made up here,’ anyway). It's worth noting that the universe responds to vibrations, not words or demands. So, when you tune into a specific frequency, all the cooperative components get together and respond by providing what aligns with that frequency. It's important to remember that the frequency you were tuned into still exists, and you may shift back and forth between frequencies.

Back to the movie, the main character, when he decided to continue with a girl he fell in love with by just choosing what felt like him, such as freedom and less effort, he tapped into a different frequency that allowed him to live the most beautiful days of his life. However, despite that change or choice he made in the present moment, it did not get rid of his debt and all the fears he had. He would still experience those fears from time to time when he thought about them. Nevertheless, he kept going on his self-realization journey, just on a different frequency—lighter, freer, and in love. I don't want to spoil the movie for you, but if you ever watch it, you might understand what I'm talking about or have a different perspective. The point I'm trying to make is that we often think we need to be someone else to experience what it feels like to be that person. We may believe that we'll become that person once we obtain something or move somewhere, but that's not really true.

When I talk about this, don’t think that I am only referring necessarily to something big, such as a career change or a huge milestone. Just start by considering how you’d like to dress, how you would like to talk, and how you would like to show up in little things that eventually become significant. Think of that image you have, or if you don’t have one, think of three to five things you admire in people because they are most likely the things you aspire to embody. Think of them as a radio station. In order to listen to what’s happening on that radio station, you need to tune into its frequency. See these things like that and visualize how these qualities feel. Then tap into these feelings as if you are embodying them. Smile and give thanks that you are that. To the days you change the radio frequency again back to where you have been, notice that you have just changed the radio frequency. That's okay because you understand that what you prefer to be has not gone anywhere; it is just waiting for you to change the frequency again and tap into it when you want. The feeling of what we don’t prefer usually indicates where we are vibrationally, and the main feeling is fear. I have come to realize that fear is just a tool we use to “pretend” we don’t know what we are doing. Notice that I said pretend because, as I have described in my other articles, we have themes that we are exploring here on Earth. From our soul’s perspective, we chose these themes so we can experience and learn different emotions. From a soul's perspective, we know what we are doing, but we impose on ourselves as humans a level of forgetfulness so we can experience life. So when we choose fear, it is an exploration, and when we tap into higher frequencies, it’s not that we get rid of fear, but it’s just another side of the coin we flip and choose to be in “love.” So, the opposite of love is not hate, but fear”. We are either in love or in fear, and we live by flipping the coin. Any side does not remove the other; they coexist simultaneously. Think of your experience here as having multiple faces with one neck. Your experience depends on what face you choose to show, and at the same time, all faces are showing at the same time.

If you ever watch the movie, you will learn so much. I don’t know why this reflection was my main thought 30 minutes after watching it. It might be what needed to be unlocked in me. The movie is more than what I shared as my main realization, and it is for a reason, for sure! As you might have heard this before, let me say it again for you. Whether you find yourself in fear or in love today, whatever you choose, remember that you have got wings before you are human. Tap into that whenever fear kicks in.

I hope this message finds you with an open heart to receive.
