“An acquired taste” reminds me of my friend who tried to make me appreciate his favorite wine. He looked at me expectantly while I dutifully took a sip. Before I could formulate a diplomatic answer, he sighed and said “I know, I know, you can not appreciate it now. You see you need to acquire a taste for it. It takes time. I promise after a week you will love it !”
Well yes, he was right but right now I am talking about fear not wine. But the rule is same.
So, why is fear an acquired taste ? Well, because it is not natural to us. We must have acquired a taste for it by filtering our own energy through negative limiting believes and coming up with the feeling of fear. This same energy if filtered through positive believes would have given us love/joy !
To acquire a taste for fear we must have had preferred to feel fear for centuries, unbelievable but true. May be our ancestors believed it was safer to feel fear than be happy and become careless. Who knows ! For centuries they accepted to live with fear so that now it is ingrained in our sub-conscious. Our mind is hard wired to fear based negative beliefs and feelings. In drop of a hat, our mind jumps to the worst scenario imaginable.
And so we take fear as natural to us but it is not. It is an acquired taste or shall we say, an acquired state of mind.
Our natural state of being is love, unconditional love, not fear.
Now it is a well known fact that we are the creator of our physical reality. Our thoughts, beliefs and feelings shape our world. So, what is the problem, why can’t we create the world that we would prefer to live in ? Only our fear based negative beliefs, my friends, only fear based beliefs ! When we vibrate at low dense frequency of fear (or shades of fear) we can only create more of fear producing life.
It is time my friends to un-learn this acquired state for fear based beliefs. We are the creators, so why should we carry on living a fear based life ? We can change our beliefs because a belief is not a truth but a choice we make, consciously or un–consciously !
Let us choose Love or shades of love, every time. Let us choose to perceive the world through the lens of love. When life throws
a challenge, do not tackle it on a war footing. There is a reason for it and the reason is always “to help us”. Let us look at it through the lens of peace, compassion, kindness, appreciation ! When we come from a feeling of peace, we can only create a life of peace, our natural state of being.
So, my friends, I suggest let us make it a habit to catch one fear based belief and let it go. Everyday release one, one at a time. We would be changing the destiny of generations to come !
