We are Not Afraid of the Thing but of the Consequences
This is a point that my marvellous missionary has mentioned
many times. So then applying this point, we see that one is not scared of blood
really, or seeing the organ, or the needle, or the scalpel or the medical
procedure but the consequences involved with it.
Such consequences we see are physical pain, discomfort,
adverse effects, diseases, infections, being sick, etc. etc.
If the needle didn’t have any consequences, no pain, no side
effects we wouldn’t be scared of it.
Knowing this helps actually. Don’t you feel that it does? We
are not scared of blood or organs or bones. This teaching or point directs us
more accurately to the cause of fear.
Fear is Due to Karma of Pride where Something was Transgressed
Fear is often due to some law having been transgressed and
we suffer the consequences and then we feel pain and then we feel rejection and
aversion and then fear develops.
So what could the consequences be that are still alive in
one’s psyche that make one feel fear of blood, organs and bones?
If one does not have this fear one feels ok or neutral seeing
blood, organs and bones. So one must have done something in the past or
suffered something in relation to blood, organs and bones where the consequences
were grave or very serious.
Accept the Unacceptable
Within fear there is the factor of nonacceptance. As long as
one can not accept something fear will be present.
To work on fully accepting the fact that we blood, organs
and bones and that these things allow us the life that we have helps. It is
difficult actually, to get scared of something that you have fully accepted.
One must also accept that medical procedures are the way
they are right now and that they can hurt and that they can go so-so etc. But
we can trust though in that the intention is always there for them to go well
and for us to be better afterwards.
When we reject we are automatically scared! You reject a
person you will also be scared of them! Simple as that!

Subconscious Thinks Negatively
Even if we don’t want to and we are thinking positively what
is stronger in us the subconscious until we have an equal amount of consciousness.
Just as our mind thinks, our subconscious thinks but on more
submerged levels of which we may not be able to see. However, the thoughts
occurring on those deeper levels of our own mind affect our instinctive centre
and consequently our emotional and motor centres.
We have to get access to the negative thought processes occurring
in the subconscious, understand them, disprove them and progressively weaken
them
There is Distrust
There is distrust in all fears and phobias. The distrust
here is in the doctors, in the technology uses, in medical science, in life and
in the body and in the Being. One does not trust that the doctors are there to
make us feel better and we don’t trust that their knowledge is enough to treat
us and we don’t trust that they can helps us. We protest why they use needles,
scalpels, and all sorts of intrusive instruments. WE think that they really don’t
care or are out to harm us.
There is beautiful humility in trusting! In this case to
trust requires that we have humility. To be in a hospital is karma for pride.
We need when we are in hospital to develop humility.
We distrust in the body’s ability to heal and get better and
we distrust in our Being for exposing us to this and making us suffer. But that
is wrong we did it to ourselves and the Being in us is the re supplying its
life force and power of being. It is not there to hurt us. It is there to
supply us life, consciousness, will and being.
End (1908).
