Fear is a toxic and very fast spreading virus of the mind. As you get deeper and deeper on The Path of Recovery, you will become more sensitive to other people and their state of being. Your job is to stay aware of your being and notice when you have taken on the thoughts and emotions of others.
Have you ever noticed that you could be having a perfectly fine day and then you spend time at a meeting, and meet with someone who may be in a negative and fearful place, and after you're finished speaking with them, YOU feel negative and fearful? That's what I call catching the fear bug. You have let the energy and thoughts of another become your own. And doesn't it almost feel unfair, because they didn't even ask? They just seemed to dump all over you. But you see, as you become more aware, as you step into your own power, this will not change the negativity of the world or of others. In fact, you will become vastly more aware of other people's fear and negativity. But do not fret or take on board the negativity. Your job is to become strong enough to see and experience the fear and negativity of others and, instead of resisting it and calling it "evil" or "dark", to understand it is simply a deep yearning for understanding a reaction to their fear. When you understand and know that another's fearful and negative state of being is nothing more than a call for understanding, you no longer have to assume their fear or let it affect you.
You can simply understand what they are really looking for and send Love and kindness instead of fear back to them. When we understand that the fear and negativity in others is a call for understanding, a primary instinct to share their fear, we inoculate ourselves against the fear bug. We have an anti-fear inoculation that, through our awareness of our positive program, transforms fear into Love and kindness within us. This way, we can purge our bodies of the fear of others and actually respond from a place that not only helps to elevate and heal them, but also elevates and heals us in the process. So inoculate yourself from fear today by understanding the negativity and fear of others is simply a call for understanding and decide that you are going to be the person to answer that call today.
